"I'm lying concealed in the grass watching an enemy camp. Before I can deside what to do, some indian with the Huble-telescope as a contact lense sees me and uses one shot to teach me about the games sadistic save-system. To loose playing time is nothing but annoying, especially for people with deadlines. The ensuing assault on the camp is a hazardous throw of the dice, and with high risk of loosing most of your progress, this makes you choose the tactic that takes the less time. It actually invites you to play Rambo."
"I believe the game suffers from being available on consoles. I highly suspect them of running out of buttons and so abandoned the ability to lean. Then were in turn too lazy to bother fixing it for PC. No other reason for it."
"You do not carry much ammo. Fair enough, so you have to raid corpses to find some. Only problem is that they disappear after about 30 sec, and so I constantly found myself running after a corpse in order to "make it". Of all mini games "look for the corpse in the tall grass before it disappears into thin air" is the most dull.
"If you happen to find your way into a vehicle, one thing imediately catches your attention; the view is locked! Forget about turning your head when going backwards, or simply looking out the window. Come on, even Grand Theft Auto has this, and that's pretty much as far from realism as you can get!"
"Why did CM make this island over 220 km2, and then utilize perhaps 3x3 in a mission that takes maybe 15-30 mins? This ruins the games attempt at being a sandbox game."
"The most annoying thing about the game is that it makes you want to play a game that doesn't exist. It creates an itch that won't go away before you actually get to play a game that does what the developer promises."
"After five hours I'm taken by surprise as the credits appear and I wonder where all the cool things I was promised went. It didn't go to the multiplayer at least. With only two game modes and a 16-player max on each side I'm not really shaking in my Battlefield pants."
