Well, the reviews cover most if not all of the irritations.
I have to admit I am disappointed, but we are stuck with the lobby system and will never run a server of our own unless we play a "private" (unraked) game - and then we would need bots to make up the numbers... So we're stuck with the usual mix of snipers, cheats and hacks.
On the up side, it would play a lot better in HC, and I suspect SH will iron out the wrinkles in the game fuctionality.
But... I've heard knitting is a great hobby for old men.

PS: Beta access end tomorrow (3rd Oct). Game release date is 3rd Nov.
