Laughable analogy. We are talking about guns, presumably lethal ones. Besides, the GDI still gets grenadiers for free, so your argument topples over immediately.

Listen to yourself. "This thing can change but the other one cannot because I say so"

None. Do you need a sound to know you killed someone? Stay plebeian forever.

I went back to DCS World. Sorry for liking what's popular

"I cannot handle being ambushed"

Almost stopped reading here. It is impossible to ask people to make an independent evaluation, unless they are completely new to gaming. Many people are only asking for things they have seen work in other games; this does not become a bad thing solely because these features are found in other games. Neither should tradition trump potential improvements. On most other points you made I do not disagree. This way of assessment I do somewhat disagree with, because by that reasoning you could make the argument that the free classes are supposed to suck because they're cheap.

Why would you care if the dev doesn't? I know I'm good.

At least put some effort into posting.

Yes, wow, a few months before 1942 and ~1.5 years before CoD. Is this some kind of hipster thing?

Mongoloid intelligence on display, ladies and gentlemen.

I registered to tell wastes of oxygen like you to fuck off. Good god, "CoD this BF that" is not going to become a valid argument by you mongoloids saying it over and over again. Listen to this dev guy, he sounds reasonable.

From what little I've played, I have to agree. Nod has tons of different infantry types but there has to be a reason you tend to see disproportionate numbers of Raveshaws.

Well, so do the vehicles, but it's really no worse than Planetside 2 and I'm not exactly expecting another ARMA. I do hope it gets slowed down and some of the weapons buffed just to make them feel less 'floaty'.

Is there, then, inherent value in balance? In this case it is. I may provide an example if you've ever played Renegade and one of it's mods. IF there's just ONE really overpowered unit (as the Havoc/Sakura may have been called in vanilla Ren) it kills the fun. And that's not the case in RenX in my opinion. I'm afraid I haven't. I think right now the infantry in Ren:X kind of blurs together (everything feels UP) and the game really could do with a slightly slower pace. That's all I can think of for now.

You started the Flame war when you gave the post this title: Impressions from a new player and why I think the game sucks No, it was everyone else being overly defensive morons. The OP was pretty polite even if frustrated. I have little problem with the wall of text above, since it didn't devolve into "LOL COD; BF"

It is OK to be hostile towards people who disagree. This was amply demonstrated by those who responded to the OP. Why are you so butthurt? Leave the foooorum boohoooo Battlefield's from 2002 as well, numbskull. You can't weasel your way out of this by using popular soundbites.

Nice ad hominem, clown. Are you trying to revive the community or kill it? Obviously the only community you want consists of people who are afraid of change.

What is ambushing, you dolt? Fair fights are for shitters. "Boohoo COD and BF" is not an argument, either. False premise. "I am rubbish at ARMA and keep dying, best stick to calling others bad" "I am too fat to do actual sports and need to act like e-sports matter" I wanted to like the game 'cause I used to like the C&C series, but it's painfully obvious that this one's only for grognards who cannot stop nostalgia-tripping. Improvements are banned, I guess. Enjoy your Stone Age.
