Going through the forums I saw many "misplaced" feelings about the state of the game where critics had in their crosshair people developing this game. While I cant say that some of the criticism was misplaced and that it was not off target it is far from truth that game is not balanced. On the contrary, new iterations of the game seem to closely address negative points given in general feedback related to this game. In short, I feel that balance is very good in most situations when faced with equally skilled player I have fun wether I win or lose. Of course, there are points where game becomes frustrating (jetpacks, any time anywhere are horribly frustrating to deal with).
So if I have such a high opinion, why is the game not on my computer any more? Well... it has something to do with people.
Situations where game stops being fun for me at least is giving my free time freely to the game and then watch it being completely wasted as you are stomped multiple times in a row by the same team. Best thing is, they are not organised, they spontaniously self-arrange themselves after few games. So one gets the situation where one knows that hell lose the game in the ready room since "ULTRASKILL" joined followed by "NOLIFE" and then "SKILLFULLYGULLABLE" who by himself can gun down 3 skulks in one clip but is still nothing compared to previous 2 players. Of course, as a rule of thumb, underdog team gets a few skillful players. Who leave 2 minutes in after failing to go positive in K/D ratio right after going 60-2 K/D in previous game. Thing that I find interesting about these people is whenever they start losing, they either quit or just switch to better team in tandem with some amazingly cool sentence in order of: "you idiots cant kill kill one (pro) fade (neither can I but it well not speak of it) so ill punish you by ruining your already shitty game. Sweetest thing is how they stick together so they can go 60-70 kills and completely ignore the fact that (even when typed in chat) that the teams are completely off and that 8 minutes in, they have more kills on a single player than (not the best on their scoreboard) than entire opposing team.
Now, this is not the isolated case. I removed the game after 3 days of trying to play the game, mind you, I do not mean losing but actually having fun undecided games with lots of variety. Being in stacked team is as fun as shooting fish in a barrel. Last day I played for 4 hours and failed to see a good game on no less than 7 (in letters: seven) different servers. Pros vs Joes has become standard "gamemode". I am not alone in opinion all the casual players that I know in real life have agreed on this.
To recap, I would like to humbly divert attention not to marine hopping, armory humping and such but to the fact that actual players make games devoid of fun.

Although I do disagree bad behavior went up lately. Atleast on eu servers.
