Sound like there are a few recurring themes in your quotes, which is nothing new from the Beta whiners:
1) The pay-per-month fee:
Sure, this is an issue for many of those that don't have jobs or are admittedly cheap (as noted in their own quotes), but for those who are constantly buying games only to be disappointed in its online aspect and those that find themselves constantly upgrading their machines anticipating the next great game only to be disappointed, $12.95 a month is a drop in the bucket. I typically purchase 2 to 3 games a month because they're either boring or shallow. I don't even waste my time with single player games for the most part b/c lack of game depth and multiplayer strategy.
I like to tweak my machine and upgrade it as much as anyone on this board so that I'm "ready" for the next big thing, but when a game comes along that puts those plans on hold, I know I've found it.
2) Replay value:
It sounds like a lot of the replay value concerns are tied in to the objectives and again the monthly fee issue. People are comparing PS to UT2K3 and Tribes, which I find amusing. Perhaps its this mentality that leads them to believe the game lacks replay value or depth. If you play the game like UT2K3 or Tribes, that's what you'll get out of it, a mindless shooter with little tactical strategy. As for different gaming modes, PS incorporates any game type found on the standard FPS and then some. You have infiltration/CS-style objectives, death match, assault, defense, capture the flag elements, etc. except they're all incorporated into the same map and game.
The perpetual element of the game allows you to cater your loadout to YOUR preferences each and every time. Instead of plane camping ala BF1942, you've got a shiny new Reaver with your name on it if you choose that cert. If you see incoming enemy aircraft, you can switch out of your engineer gear and load up your AA gear from your favorites tab pre-loadout. If you know you need to hold the command console and you see enemy MAX on your HUD radar, you can slip into a MAX in seconds. Once the threat is eliminated, you can switch back into your pilots jumpsuit and blast off in a Reaver to assault a nearby gun tower and support your infantry. I typically do all of that within a few minutes, so I'm rarely bored, but I guess it depends on how you choose to play the game. Once again, I've barely scratched the surface of the possibilities out there.
Also, SOE has said PS will have downloadable elements that should keep the game fresh over time. This could come in the form of new weapons, certs, vehicles, game objectives etc. that will keep the game fresh. Once a chain of command is established, there's a possibility that GMs can set special ops for each faction which will trickle down the chain of command. With squads and outfits, there's the opportunity to distinguish yourself from the masses of other players through your accomplishments on the battlefield.
The tactical strategy elements to the game are endless even if the objectives are pretty similar. If you want to spam a tower or base with an AMS and a ton of infantry, you can do that, but I'm sure it could get very old very quickly. On the other hand, the squad I've been running with tends to take different approaches to assaults. We were on Esamir last night holding off some Terrans. A few squads figured it would be a good idea to rush a gun tower with Terran Max Cyclers *planted* in doorways and stairwells. They didn't get much accomplished for 30 minutes other than pumping those TR defenders with ungodly XP, while getting little to none in return (for those that don't know, you get little XP for killing fresh spawns). We pulled up a Galaxy; loaded up with 13 Troops and 2 MAX and did a hot drop on the top of the tower. We had it capped about 60 seconds later. That's just *one* possibility.
Those who are complaining of boredom waiting for base caps simply don't know how the game works. You don't need to wait for the cap to go down, you just need to be in the Sphere of Influence when it goes down. That extends to a large perimeter around the base and both towers. Securing and holding those towers or manning the walls to repel defenders has never left me bored. If I'm really itching to do something, I'll go on a Reaver run and harass some enemies a few bases over with plenty of time to get back for hack completion. Also, if you have a squad member near the CC, they can keep you informed how much time remains. Once again, good communication within the squad is invaluable.
3) Lag/bugs/server stability:
I didn't once say there weren't problems, but considering I've Beta tested at least a dozen games, this really doesn't concern me as I know they'll be worked out by release to a playable level at the minimum and fixed along the way. SOE isn't a mom and pop dev. house that is short on resources to fix any issues related to bugs or server stability. Lag and stability have improved dramatically in only 1 week since I've been playing. If similar progress is made up until release, the game should be completely lag free. If you didn't get last night's patch (11pm PST), you should really check it out before commenting further. If not, you're working off dated info (as is often the case with Beta testimonials). I'm not sure what those movies are supposed to depict, I don't see anything about lag or server stability. Looks like a bad edit of "Shaft" by some geek with too much free time on his/her hands. If you had provided links to actual gameplay movies, that would've been a different story. Resorting to a poor attempt at satire just undermines your arguments further.
