Something to consider with these reviews....
"Hardcore gamers" generally are going to hate the Idea of mag.
Look at most "competitive" gamers for FPS and you'll find that they tend to play in matches with less then the maximum capacity.
"Pro" players actually tend to hate dieing, and will bitch whenever something gets so complicated that you can be taken down in chaos.
The fact that there are GIANT numbers and ANYBODY is vulnerable is the exact opposite of what most "hardcore" people want. People who largely are probably reviewers.
