We all know what this game COULD be, what it will eventually work itself to be, we all know about the constant fluctuation and patching and fixes that will be coming, we all know this is a game that rewards you for investing yourself into it, we all know what it's like to be a new player in this harsh game, some more than others, and we all know that even after you have put so much work into this game you can still get knocked on your ass so much it makes you not want to get back up sometimes.

None of this is necessarily a bad thing, if a game is challenging, engaging, I call it well made, I mean think about it this game gives you emotions other than rage, fear of losing expensive stuff, excitement from close matches where winning doesn't even matter, what other shooter can say that? Like I said maybe I don't play other games actively enough but I haven't gotten that same effect since my days in MGO. But it becomes a problem when we vets having our fun drives away others, even other vets, from having the game be something they enjoy, it's a problem when this learning curve isn't a curve so much as just a brick wall that someone is slamming your face into. In this state the game punishes you for not getting into the fit of the month, or not investing enough time and in alot of cases money, for new players the game punishes you for not punishing yourself trying to get your skill points.

Have any of you tried to make a new character recently? You can have all of the aiming prowess in the world, quick reactions, knowledge of the game and the maps, but when you're stripped of all of your skills and your gear you're still worthless when you face other players with the same abilities, you put 0 skill points in anything and even the best player with a new character will be a noob, how the hell is a brand new player who hasn't mastered the mechanics supposed to survive?
