1. Why do I spawn in the middle of enemy squads?
2. Why does my initial spawn put me across the map from my squad? Would it not make more sense to spawn squads together?
3. Why is there no proper matchmaking system?
4. Why do I unload a clip point blank into someones chest and get no hitmarkers?
5. Why do grenade throws not always register leaving me standing there doing nothing instead of throwing a grenade?
6. Why is there a skill point cap? How are new players suppose to catch up to players from closed beta?
7. Why was there no character wipe considering there is no matchmaking system that keeps top geared players out of battles with brand new players?
8. Why are the controls sluggish and unresponsive?
9. Why was this game moved from beta to official launch given all the core issues that have not been corrected?

These are not rhetorical questions. I am struggling to understand why the game "heralded as the new era of FPS" has so many issues at launch. Do any of the devs actually play FPS? I'm not trying to sound like a ****. I really want to like this game. It is such a great idea but poorly implemented.

I really want to like this game. It is such a great idea but poorly implemented. A good chunk of this is just plain wrong. 2 - I assume you are referring to Ambush games. Squads do spawn together. I think you have a major lag issue based on some of your points. 6 - Removing the skill cap will not help new players "catch up", it will simply allow the veterans to get ahead even faster. After about 3 months of play, each player will have enough SP to have one suit/weapon combo maxed out. After that, there is no need to "catch up". That means we have something like 3 months to get to top tear equipment/skill. This seems fine to me. 7- There is now an Academy instant battle type that new players are put in. They do not face veterans anymore, at least not until they reach a certain number of accrued WP. 9 - Because it matters not. The game has been available to anyone who wants to play for some time now.

That is not "a good chunk" but less than half of my questions. I do not and have never had lag issues to this extent that would explain away any of my questions with any game on my PS3 or PC. I repeatedly spawn away from my squad in Ambush and Skirmish games. Hell many times my initial spawn will put me in the middle of enemy units. Academy instant battles are fine but it still does not alleviate the problem of new players, i had a measly 750k sp when i "graduated" from academy, facing teams of squads with proto suit/weapons or both when they are at a clear disadvantage. Lol. Ok jackass, see everyone else's clarifications. A good chunk, to the best of my knowledge, is not scientifically defined anywhere to be necessarily more than half. Also, stop lying. How do you "spawn away from my squad in skirmish"? Have you even played a skirmish game? In skirmish, because you obviously don't know, you pick your spawn point. Based on your own comment, the academy did alleviate the problems of new players, right up until you left it. I think everyone else has covered your points in more depth than they deserve.
