Why so many haters? Doesn't each and every person deserve to play how they want to play? It's their $14.95 (per account). There is such a varied choice of arenas and areas within for anyone to choose where to go and/or what they want to do. Does it make you a bigger man to slam another individual or group because they choose to play where, when and how they want? HO's, Rams, bomb****s, Campers, Hoarders, Milkers and Map runners are everywhere in every arena. When I experience something I don't like, it's "MY CHOICE" to stay and put up with it or move on elsewhere. If I don't appreciate the gameplay of another player or group, I do something else to my enjoyment in the arenas or log. If you don't like the Map Runners, get your squad or a group of individuals and put up a fight. Whining about it day after day is just so lame especially from the more experienced players (Game Veterans) who I have respected but tend to loose a little of it each time I see the whinefest begin.
For some players, this is a great release from the real world. Whether it's to wind down after a long day of work, getting away from the kids, family, general drama that life offers or whatever the reason, people come in to play the game. Some like myself, I am an Honorably Discharged 90% Disabled United States Navy Veteran (1980-1991), play the game a lot at times just because of real life's limitations. We play to enjoy what we can and god forbid, even make some great friends along the way, learn a little history and maybe some new tactics. The "CON's" and various gatherings that are put together are a great opportunity to actually meet some of your countrymen or those you consider enemies and actually understand each other a little better and form some fabulous bonds. For example, Dallas in October and Dayton in July. I went to both last year and had a great time meeting folks. I even changed from Bish after 3 years and have been flying Rook in the LW MA's for the last year after Dayton.
With all that is going on in the "Real World", Oil Spill Crisis in the Gulf of Mexico (My front doorstep), Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Afghanistan, etc.. Be thankful that we all can gather together in games like this to escape from these things for a while. I apperciate what HTC has done in creating this opportunity for us. Live life a little easier and extend a hand in friendship to your fellow man here and/or in real life. If you want to continue to be a hater, that is your choice but, start with the person in the mirror first.
