Some people in the comments section of the article are saying that the writer wasn't even using the weapons as they're supposed to be, especially the 'machine gun' with flares one. For the people who have had hands-on with the game, is there any truth to this?

From how I read it, he didn't know how to operate some of the guns. They can be a little tricky, but it didn't take too long to get used it (well, for me at least, it didn't).

Yeah he skipped the tutorial for the "machine gun that ALSO fires a flare" It is not a machine gun, its like a sulfer gun that you ignite. Or you could perhaps use it for cover if you wanted as it briefly

Reading his preview he notes how this felt "like a prop gun" because he (like many other journalists or videos I have seen) seem intent on using this gun as a machine gun when all it does is douse the enemy in powder that you are supposed to ignite. It feels weak because it in fact is not doing anything yet he spent a good 2 minutes popping out from coverage to do this.

Do yourselves a favor and watch the video of this joker playing. He fires the flare gun (ZOMG Rocket LAUNCHERZ!!) without the cloud and continues to use the cloud as a machine gun when it isnt. He wonders why randomly some flares do damage to buildings (because it does when it ignites, its just a flare not an explosive) and why his machin gun (which isnt a machine gun) doesnt do damage.

He must not have any friends at IGN if they let him upload this video of him slobbering all over himself trying to play and write a preview that is completely misinformed due to his own ignorance.

It is almost like when he got to the end of the demo he realized it was user error and had to throw in a blurb about how he just wanted it to be over. This is really one of those times, remember watch the video, where 95% of the negativity is user error.

EDIT: note when I saw watch the video etc im not talking to CGI i mean people in this thread that don't believe how bad this guy is thats actually playing

I know from what he described that you are right, but could you please link the video? I'm to lazzy to look it up. :p
