Game is fundamentally broken.

The excessive weapon sway in this game is all tied to your FPS. More FPS = Less sway. This means everyone is playing a different game. Your gun does not kick or sway the same amount as the dude next to you, or the enemy you are shooting. This alone is enough to write the game off as a joke. Also the recoil gets *higher* with more FPS. The stuttering and performance issues only get worse.

The game crashes when you bipod sometimes. Sometimes you reload your RPG, and it doesn't reload. Random ghost gunshots. You sometimes won't spawn on a HAB or rally for +20 seconds even the spawn timer says you should be spawned.

Now apparently the sloped armor in this game does not work? The penetration of a projectile into a vehicle is erroneously seemingly based off of the world rotation of whatever you hit, not the angle that the projectile impacted at as it should be.

OWI simply doesn't do QA to find these issues. Basic problems like this are found by community members. I don't believe they are incompetent or stupid but that someone in a management position just doesn't see it as a priority. They prioritize new sales over fixing long-standing bugs in the game. Until this changes the list of issues I have stated above will only grow.

IMO it is unlikely they will fix these bugs anytime soon. Performance will only get worse. The crashes and game-breaking bugs will only grow. OWI has a reputation of stating that they have fixed *X* bug, and it is simply not fixed. This is not to say they did nothing, but their attempted fix does not work. Now they don't even state they they fixed *X* bug, but their most common response is that *it is less likely to happen*.
