I started paying monthly but stopped when I realised my bank would charge me £1.25 on top of every currency conversion, which is like a 41% tax. As far as I'm aware, PayPal only charges 2.5%. The only way I'll be paying for a subscription will be through PayPal now.

I caught the last ninety minutes. As much as I enjoy a little self-indulgent messing around, at some point it's like they just gave up caring what was going on, which was pretty frustrating, to be honest.

I think combining SWAT and Team Sniper would be the way to go, as they're quite similar in some ways, and that way you wouldn't have just one gametype on its own. 
 
Popular vote as a means to select gametype is a funny thing. It seems quite fair, since everyone gets their vote. The problem is when you look at other games like CS, where if you had a voting system instead of a server browser you might end up playing de_dust/dust 2 for the rest of your days. I think, in general, voting works, but maybe the playlists need to be juggled about a bit.

If boosters and hackers won't ruin the game for themselves then let them. All the upgrades you get are cosmetic; they don't affect anyone else's enjoyment of the game.

Not necessarily. I've quit a few times because I personally don't enjoy getting spawn-sniped. I play the game to have fun. That's not fun. "

You should at least try to get as many kills as possible. You'll walk away with more experience. "

In the situations that I quit it's because it's literally impossible for me to get anyone. Like yesterday, when I did team doubles on Pinnacle, both of the enemies were in separate towers with sniper rifles and I was spawning out in the open each time. Cue getting killed every time I spawn. "

I'm running into this problem all the time, and I think there should be larger penalties for this kind of behaviour. Some kind of XP penalty, maybe. And I agree with Octaslash: there should be a forfeit option out there like that.

I don't mind matchmaking, though I prefer dedicated servers. What I do mind is these things happening: 
 
1. Getting betrayed without the option to punish or forgive.
2. Starting a match, playing all of five seconds, then getting a selecting new host/starting game latency hang, before it resumes gameplay and then for a couple of minutes afterwards suffering from FPS hitches.
3. Half of my team leaving, and then if I leave I get penalised for it. (A forfeit option, when 50% of the original players on your team have left, could be implemented.)
4. Having everyone select Team Sniper every-fucking-time the option comes up in voting. (I don't mind Team Sniper sometimes, but it needs its own playlist.) 
  
I know this comes off as very critical, but these things make the multiplayer experience really frustrating. Number two on the list, especially, is the worst offender for making me rage at the screen. The rest of these points I can live without being resolved, but I need my online multiplayer lag-free.  
 
I also think that withholding the co-op campaign matchmaking feature was dumb. Let people play the game the way they want, ffs.

When the words "Sonic Team" meant something: 
 
Phantasy Star Online Dreamcast Intro

I think the game was hard but not necessarily "frustrating", though a couple of sections were a total bitch to get through.

If the music wasn't as good as it was, I would probably have gone crazy while playing this game – and the music is phenomenal.
