I especially enjoyed the part about FPS on consoles not being a "legitimate" genre, whatever that means.
You ranting on doesn't help the game improve, you said nothing constructive that can actually help. I also enjoy the part about you playing for 3 months, never once coming to the forums to report bugs or provide feedback, and then finally coming here for whatever this is to call the devs incompetent. You show that you have no interest in actually helping the game improve.
Console FPS is a joke. This game was supposed to change everything. The entire genre of FPS has been ruined by these slow console shooters. This game was supposed to be different, and not because I had this image in my head of what this game was SUPPOSED to be.
The game as it currently stands is well designed, but it's always going to be flawed, and the TRUE issues with the game will NEVER be undone. Unreal Engine 3 is a BAD engine for online FPS. Especially on consoles. This game has atrocious graphics, horrible stuttering framerates, and borderline unacceptable rubber-banding. There are issues with ALL unreal engine games on consoles.
This was supposed to be an FPS from one of the best PC developers of ALL time. The only MMO developers that have managed to grow their MMO consistently every single year of its existence. They are using an engine notorious for being subpar for online games with FAR less detail/players/interactions than Dust 514. especially on consoles. To use this garbage engine on a game of THIS SCALE, is absolutely mind boggling. They chose a graphics showcase engine to deliver a mass scale, online FPS. If you don't see the problem with this, and the problems with the game in general. You can't be reasoned with. Period.
This game has every right to play as smoothly as Call of Duty, or any retail FPS it has the potential to be FAR superior to all of those games. Especially considering the fantastic addition of keyboard and mouse controls. This game deserves FAR better than Unreal 3. CCP will not be able to fix the issues with this game in time for launch, or ever. That's the nature of the beast.
This game will forever be left to the dustbin of failure, because of such a subpar engine choice.
If you can prove to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt that this game will run at AT LEAST 30 frames per second when it leaves beta and hits launch, I will shut my damn mouth. I waited 3 months to get into this beta. My god damn heart sank when I saw that damn unreal engine 3 logo. I immediately expected the worst, and my fears were confirmed within 10 seconds of playing this game. This is the biggest gaming related disappointment I've ever experienced. I am not even exaggerating.
How could a dev like CCP choose graphics over SMOOTH GAMEPLAY? It doesn't make any god damn sense, man.
