I'm just going to list them in random order. Feel free to add your list to thread.

1. Encrypted config files. Every Unreal Engine 3 game I've played so far have config files that can be edited to my liking. But, vogster for some reason, decided to encrypt the files. I know of some people who use unreal engine editors to still change the config files, but I don't want to do something like that, which could be considered cheating. Now lets see why encrypted config files are bad for us gamers.

* First of all, we can't take out the bs fps cap at 62. Any pc gamer knows that fps around 120 is best for gaming. At a time where 120hz monitors are getting highly popular, it's rediculous that they have a fps cap at 62.

* Second of all, we can't change fov to our liking cos of encrypted cfg files. When I play cc, sometimes I feel like I have tunnel vision, cos I'm used to play games with 80-90 fov.

*third of all, if we could change the cfg files, we could have been able to tune the graphics settings more to our liking.

2. Over powered drug combinations and some drugs that are down right useless.

Really, what's the use of drugs like borough and nik ? Are these drugs just there for lulz ? I'm yet to come across one person who actually use these drugs. And there are drugs like bess that can take the fun out of a match, when used with electric shield, jelly joy and etc. Yes, you can use corrosive rounds + frenzy, but who would want to have a corrossive setup for a pub match ? They really need to remove electric shiled out of the game in my opinion.

3. Unneccassary tweaking of weapons with every patch, and therefore changing the play style of many many players.

Since our gang started playing, pretty much every weapon has been nerfed at some point. I think it's really stupid to nerf the weapons everytime when someone complains about some weapon. Carelessly nerfing weapons have turned a lot of players away from this game. Let's look at some of the weapons that have been nerfed.

Panther pistol: This pistol was probably the most expensive weapon in 2009. It had really impressive rate of fire, I could keep up with a smg sprayer with this pistol. Then they nerfed the sh!t outta it. Now I only see a couple of kamikazee set users with this pistol.

Sigma smg: At release, this smg did not have such high recoil like it does now. It's still effective, but it was way better at release. Don't even know why nerfed it. I don't think many complained about it either.

Hargon lmg : This lmg was better than rask at realease. Some players complained about getting "sniped" by this lmg, so they decided to nerfed it significantly.

Exeter sniper rifle : it was the most popular sniper rifle at realease. I bought my first 5 slot exeter for 1 million oe something. Now, no one even wants it for free. No other weapon has been nerfed like sniper rifles have. First they added sway, then they made the sights glitchy and fuucked up looking. Even people who use the pre-made sniper class use the smg, more than they use the sniper rifle.

Hargon shotgun: there was nothing wrong with this weapon, other than people using glitched ( or intentionally put in there to make money) level 10 black market sg ammo which did more damage than level 50 blue ammo. It would have been understantable if they had just nerfed the range a bit. But, why they nerfed its damage is very hard to understand.

This list goes on.

Also, there are glitchy attachments that makes certain weapons fire faster. I know for a fact certain gl attachments make it fire faster than it should.

4. Some abilities have made this game one dimensional and down right boring.

* Spectate a tournament match, and try to find one player who doesn't use DIS. This ability has made the game noob friendly to a point it's not even fair.

*Also there are abilities like turrets and electric shiled, which should not have been introduced in the first place.

5. Client side hit detection.

Client side hit detection simply does not suite a game in which there are people whose ping spans from 10 -999. Every other match I play, I see some player do some wierd as sh!t due to lag. MLG don't even have tournaments for bf3 exactly because bf3 has client side hit detection. This should tell you how badly client side hit detection is viewed in pc community.

This list goes on. Add more to the list if you guys like. I have pretty much quit gaming , because of school and other RL stuff. This list is possibly my last contribution to cc. Peace.

 I'd add the matchmaking system, which u are not free to choose what u want to play...I'm getting sick of playing the defaults, olympia riot, shot, ctzop, maxym riot, shot, ctzop, douglas riot, acd, iso riot, shot, ctzop, and so...these are like 70% of the matches...the lack of team/coop matches was an issue before patch, now, it's a huge one...90% of the players have an offensive set, which make impossible a reasonable/balanced match, even worse by the mix between high and low lvls playing togheter...(some can say u can uncheck the kind of matches u don't want, but if u do so be ready to wait a some minutes to start your match, mainly at the empty US servers)...

Good list. Add insanely expensive abilities to that list. Only someone who has played this game for weeks can max out the abilities now. Kind of unfair if you ask me.

Matchmaking get on my nerves even more that facing enemy with DIS and Electric shield. I use advanced all time, its still impossible to play map/game mode combos  i want unless i restrict options even more and wait really long.

Lower cost of abbilities or possibility of rollback would also significantly improve gameplay, i pity those new players who dont have chance to test all skills and choose for themself what they like (not to mention they have to endure anoying first 8 levels, because for some brain dead players was tutorial "too complicated").

I only think electric shield its ok, but BESS and DIS ar a pain i saw some one using BESS + DIS and other BOOST( i will not mention it) dealing 40 dmg with a rask lmg while i was dealing only 6 dmg x shot and that lag compensation crap. Another complaint why did they put custom matchs(was a great idea) and with this patch remove it???!!! Cmom VOGS this game have lot of potential dont screw it!

I played a match without DIS but I am so used to using I tried to heal during a close range gunfight... did not turn out well.  TBH, I find enhanced recovery way more important than DIS but I am so used to using DIS to ensure I win a close fight... lol.  So next match I got rid of recovery and kept DIS... wasn't a huge change but atleast I didn't fuk myself by mistake.

 Earth - Having open config's just leads to problems. I know from APB: Reloaded, I changed a lot, most of which was on the forums - A few weeks later I... You can figure out the rest!

There is no black and white, so many grey area's of what is and isn't allowed, what is and isn't fair, hence some GM's, Mod's or whoever waving their magic wond and poof, a player vanishes. 

"there are drugs like bess that can take the fun out of a match"

Let me rephrase that for you.

"there are drugs like bess that can win a match"

Yeah, that's sadly more accurate.

A very good list. The bess/jelly joy combo is seriously hosed. For whatever reason it seems impossible to get teammates to run with corrosion/edf. That typically leaves me having to choose both not to see our whole team owned by explosives or one guy with bess. Granted the bess combo doesn't give that player the most kills or make him the most op in that regard, but it does give such a huge advantage in regards to objectives on certain game types that it generally comes down to whoever has a decent bess setup wins the match. Also DIS has become a nightmare. We ran into a team of four in yesterdays tournament that were all using DIS. There is no other ability that has become a must have and gives such a large benefit as this. Having to run with DIS to compete with everyone else using it sucks. When such a vast number of players are utilizing such a small number of abilties perhaps someone needs to look at balancing issues.

True. But there are people who are familiar with hexeditors and unreal engine editors who decrypt it and change it anyways. How fair is that ? If the cfg files were not encrypted, anyone who could open a file on notepad would have been able to change it. Now, only a hand full can do it. I just don't understand the fps cap to be honest. If I want to play a game at 60 fps, I'd just get a console.
