I'm a bit surprised by those saying the multiplayer is the focus.
-Server browser takes upwards of a full minute to retrieve any results, may misreport number of players
-Server browser does not save any of your filters (basic things like empty, full, password)
-Play Now button as broken as Left 4 Dead's original matchmaking
-No autologin for (required) account
-Perk setups for each class are not saved, crucial class features not available until you level up, leading to "COME ON YOU STUPID MEDIC WHY DON'T YOU HEAL ME!???"
-Loading Tips are incorrect (for instance, say that medic's MG is fairly accurate even in full auto - incorrect until you have marksman perk)
-No automatic team balancing
-No join-by-IP Address
-No Dedicated Server program, must rent yourself
-Friends system buggy ("Okay, I sent your invite." "Didn't receive it." "Huh? Weird...")
-Lag is as noticable as in BF2
-Certain MP guns are, stat for stat, BETTER than other counterparts (no balancing aspect for newer players)

The only thing I can say positively about it is what they managed to take OUT; vehicles are now much less common with a focus on infantry fighting.
