Everybody be hatin' on id Software. This is just EAs response to Quake Live, just like Battlefield 2142 was the response to Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

If the expectations are kept in check, it could surprise. Assuming the game is respectable, if *hardcore* gamers look at it as an occasional escape from their more serious endeavors, it may appeal to them in that way. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have a feeling if the serious gamers dive into it like every other shooter they may be disappointed. The matching making is based on the level of your character, I believe. I presume, like a mmo, you'll have a mix of good and not-so-good players at all levels. At least people who are higher level will know how to play the game. I assume the higher level players will have unlocked abilities a lower level player wouldn't have, so an uber low level player may be seriously disadvantaged if up against a lame high level player. I like TF2, which has an animated style and doesn't take itself too seriously. It will be interesting to see how this turns out given Dice's experience in online multiplayer. Most serious gamers will hate on it, just for being different and trying to appeal to the greater masses because it's *free*.

That suggests that there are two levels to this game; the 'lower tier' for those of the above, and the upper and 'hardcore' tier for those who are gamers. At the end of the day, they're producing a game and have so far done quite well to get it to appeal to many people.
