Well, add Mack the Worth a Buy guy to the list of people who are
getting an ass kicking for Christmas, he just gave the best game of
the year a thumbs down.  What's worse, he admits it's loads of fun,
just thumbs-downed it because he felt the price point is unfair for a
game without a single player campaign!  That douche.. lol

Mack claims to have been a skilled multiplayer gamer at one time, but
I detect a strong singleplayer bias in his reviews.  Also part of the
reason he might be getting less out of it is he is complaining of
network problems -- rubber banding and lagging, and I honestly have
not seen a single instance of in-game lag, so if he has faith that his
network connectivity is in good health, then it's got to be that the
server in his region is screwy, or some other issue.  The US servers
have performed perfectly while in-game.  There has been a couple of
times I've seen the "slow load" matchmaking bug that was present in
the beta, but that's about the closest thing to imperfect netcode I've
seen in this game.

Mack is also an idiot of the first order when it comes to knowing
anything about the actual game creation process.  I've heard him say
more than once that the reason a single player campaign is not
included is due to "lazy developers".  Clearly he's never written a
line of code in his life, because the level of skill and amount of
testing time required for a typical online shooter is over the top
more complex than creating a single player title.  There are just too
many more moving parts, and too many unpredictable conditions (network
lag and the dynamics of behavior among multiple humans) to possibly
test everything.

Well, his reviews almost always get a laugh out of me and I will
continue to watch them, but he definitely broke the recent trend of
mirroring my opinion on just about all recent titles.  

If he doesn't consider this a good tactical MP game that's as worthy
of the title as previous R6 games, it's time for him to trade in his
boxer shorts for a set of geriatric diapers, because he's really lost
his way.

Oh well.  I still tend to agree with him on most of his SP game
reviews.
