Have you played GTA: Vice City? Have you tried to fly a helicopter? Yeah...that's not frustrating at all because the controls suck ass. Most games have frustration factors in them. You either get past them or you don't, if you don't you stop playing the game. This isn't something that is unique to CF.

I agree to an extent. The frustration level usually has to be very high before you ditch a game you truly like.

>I for one would like to see CF

We are retaining our gamers. The playerbase is fairly stable numberswise. Some people leave, new blood comes in. Nobody is going to stick around forever (not even me )

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
