Let me be completely clear upfront: I'm not very good at this game - I rarely do more than 500 damage in any game (I mostly do a rather pathetic 200-300 dmg and reside middle of the pack on my team at game's end). So no, I'm by no means great - or even good - at this game. BUT, I'm not particularly good at most games/shooters; I play for enjoyment. Most/many reviews talk of steep learning curves, complex controls and lots of complicated customizability, but I honestly don't find it any more complicated than a typical MMO (e.g. GW2, SWTOR), skill-tree-type shooter (e.g. Borderlands 2), or combat simulator (e.g. Arma 3). Sure, it may be harder than a casual FPS like CoD, but it's not a hard came to play at all. It may be hard to master, but many games are. Certainly not hard to learn and enjoy. Am in the minority with this point of view? Am I missing something?

There are a few hidden game mechanics; and weapon handling is fairly advanced (beam leveling, spin up, lock mechanics).

It does have a steep learning curve if you aren't accustomed to both vehicular combat and shooters.
