The problem is that it does not have enough depth and is unbalanced. All you need to do is get good at aiming. Theirs no dodging or stratagey. Just jump around and shoot.
You probably played crap people most of the time/were crap. It had far more strategy than MoH did (for example), and was a superior game by far.
I was one of the masses. I was average at best. But my point stands valid. None of the weapons can be dodged or evaded. So matches involving biped fights always boil down to nothing more then jumping around while shooting at your foe. I'v never seen anyone do anything more then this. And when you factor in the gravely unbalanced characters and weapons (Even Electronic Gaming Monthly complained about how half the weapons are crap) and even that part of the game becomes annoying.
