There are complaints about the UI and the lack of maps, Epic seems to have created an engine, sold a ton of licenses and then didn't have time to fully flesh out their own game. Overall the negatives outweigh the positives, but of course that can change. The biggest mistake was not having the server ready for launch, that just leads to fewer servers and people, esp on the windows side have plenty of things to play and they will move on. It can all be fixed with a good release server side and some updated for the game itself, but I'm not holding my breath, I know this isn't the fault of icculus, and it sucks that he got put in this position. I'll keep my eye on it, but the excitement of launch has long passed, and all I can do is play other games, and watch people post issues on the various forums. Even a little bit of information would be helpful, but in the world of legality you can't say anything without permission.
