it is actually a great game, was sceptical at first seeing as it was free but it has won me over.
Indeed.. the thing that puts people off is the learning curve, you can't just join a game and dominate people, even if you're good at FPS games.
You need to learn the maps, learn to ski, get used to the projectile weapons etc.
You hear people say it's 'Pay to Win' just because they've joined a game and got killed by some guy using x weapon, which they currently don't have. Shame those sorts of people won't stick around long enough just to see how wrong they are.
One you get through the learning curve you truly see why this game is so great.
