Maybe we'll find out why sometime...

Absolutely. I get a strong feeling that there is or was a whole lot of chaos going on behind the scenes there. I would be interested to find out just how it all went down. I'm sorry that Oleg is no longer there- his departure takes with it a lot of the goodwill that was earned... at least with me.

I, too will stick with CoD and I am confident it will evolve into a polished product in due course. Let's just hope they generate enough revenue to keep the patches coming...

To be honest, I thought it was a perfectly frank review. The devs screwed up, of course people are going to review it badly. Although i think, in fairness, they should review it again six months down the line, like has been mentioned.

I don't think so. Games are generally reviewed on release - that's where the big show (more or less) takes place and the studios advertise how awesome their new game is. I don't see why it should be different for CoD.
The only chance to remedy this is to fix things asap (and I think the current weekly patches are still a slow pace; I know the devs are working hard, but the game's state makes fixing it not really humanly possible in a satisfying way) and maybe to release an addon that is nothing short of fabulous.
