What I find very interesting is the fact that all those OP that continue to bash what we have been so graciously presented and invited to provide input to are continuously comparing it to the products of Activision and Electronic Arts. Both of these companies couldn't really give a rat's as* about the requests and input from their potential players and produce and release exactly what it is THEY want, not what their community is requesting or demanding.
I understand why people continue to compare there last 6 years of game with this one, it is the natural way humans figure what is good and what is bad: comparative analysis. Yet this is not a good enough reason, at least in my eyes, to continue to do so. Not to mention, and I have yet to see anyone to really touch upon this, the fact that you are attempting to compare 3 very different gaming engines and the application of those engines in the development of a vision. Most betas, like everyone has touched upon, are just glorified PR tools to drum up excitement over a game that just has improved mechanics (hopefully) and graphics (sometimes, just look at Black Ops 2, it looks worse than the first one IMHO). This on the other hand is a completely unique venture n the fact that it is expanding and existing universe while bridging the means of interaction.
@ Tony Calif: I have been reading your posts for some time. You seem to be unable to separate COD and BF3 from this experience. I understand why that can be so difficult. It is also probably the same set of reason why I REFUSE to play either games anymore. This game is having a TRUE beta, not just a PR stunt. Either you can enjoy it, or not. But the constant bashing is getting old. And i am too old to listen to it.
If this game has even just as much depth on release as what is being presented now, I will be happy. This is especially considering the fact that CCP continuously tinkers with and refines their games. That, I have to say, is very UNLIKE the makers of COD and the BF series. They have had some shinning moments, but the last 4 versions of each of these franchises (which they are used to JUST make money) have shown little growth beyond the development of Frostbite 2 by DICE.
It would seem to me that while you are continue to bash what CCP is attempting to build both in the game and the community, you present this image to me of a major developer, or a fanboy tea bagging them. But I guess everyone has their place in life.
@OP: I only hope that some of you find the wisdom to see the potential of what is begin presented and ultimately will be handed over to us. Once the actual game finally releases, this is going to be a game that we will watch evolve and mutate much like life itself, and that is part of the experience that CCP brings to the table that other developers wish they could. This is not to say that CCP has not had their short comings between what the promise in comparison to what they deliver, but such is life. What they have done is involve their community of players a hell of a lot more than any other game company I have had the pleasure and displeasure to interact with.
This is not me tea bagging CCP, just being realizing of the potential of the game, the vision and intention of the company, and of the community.
