True, but I guarantee every one of them have like 10 things they hate about the game currently whether it be bugs or LOW FPS that they just deal with because they love the game's concept and gameplay.

30 fps with high end computer in the endgame. for christ sake how much money should pay more to get more FPS, they say cpu is the bottleneck overclocked i53570k should not be a bottleneck...

Yeah, and that Haley's Comet cult was totally not a cult since lots of people signed up for it.

Wait...what was your point again?

Just because a lot of players sign up for competition play, doesn't mean it will end up as anything other than 99 Marines wins to 1 Alien win, thereby making the Aliens team the fodder that measures the Marines team EPeen in a victory.

The sad part is I'm now fairly convinced that this is the way it was always supposed to be. This game might even be <i>better</i> with an all bot aliens team if that's the design dynamic we can expect in the future.

I'm not sure whats up with people complaining about games that have just been released, a lot of the multiplayer games seem to be released while still being patched and changed. Even popular games like WoW weren't perfect at the beginning but maybe it's just been too long for people to remember. Plus they change things constantly to try and work with balance issues.

Stopped reading. Also, 'change-request' is too outdated for some points.
Go back to pub.

The game wasn't even ready for release.
