How about 2 things can be equally true.

The new player experience for this game is horrid. BUT those that don't even give it a chance probably weren't going to stay anyway.
How do you please them. The devs responded to a very high number of people that complained and quit PS1 that they spent an hour (likely 10 minutes) roaming around the sanctuary confused why they couldn't shoot and quit. Or they made it through a WG and then drove their harasser all over an empty continent and never found a fight and quit.
The response? Drop them BEHIND enemy lines so 90% of the time you get instagibbed. The new player drop-pod drops from lower height as well so you are unable to steer it as much as a normal one. It IS a horrid experience but if that shaped one's whole opinion of the game? yeah there is a reason COD resembles OCD.

I hate the flight mechanics in this game, they're so clunky.

They need to either do Planetsides or BF3s, not a clunky mix of the 2 that doesn't work and always feels like you're fighting with the controls.

The camera also needs to follow the vehicle in third person, staying upright just disorientates you.

I need to move to that server. Rare people go on long kill streaks on my server.. at least in my experience.

What are those secondary weapons he uses there?

I think he was premature in his RIP.

Shows just how shit of a mechanic rocketpods are... good job!

Once again the obvious balance issue: SOE failed to separate anti-vehicle rockets from anti-infantry so there is no down side, and the blast radius of pods (and tank aoe) is far too big.

You guys do realise this all got nerfed in the last patch yes ?

Also the speed those rockets are being shot is not how fast i recall them now, so I am not sure if the video was shot recently or from back in the days where you could unload your entire clip in 2-3 seconds.

Only the center max damage radius got nerfed, not the overall AOE diameter. It's still just as much of an issue, and is the wrong way to balance rockets.

I'm saying this from the perspective of some of my less experienced steam friends, who enjoy fps games, but hated their first experience here and never returned. I'm sure their sentiment is shared by many other newbies and might be the reason pop numbers aren't what it could have been (speculating).

If someone can't handle getting rolled a few times without taking their ball and going home, then they should find another game. A single game can't accommodate all personality types.

That's kind of a selfish thing to say as I would like this game to have a healthy population, as I enjoy it. Obviously many other people felt the same as population numbers, at least compared to release, are rather low.

Regardless, I was just regurgitating what was said to me, so don't kill the messenger.
