"The most original and enjoyable online shooter of the generation, but the lack of content at launch means it may be months before it reaches its true potential."

This is the kind of things that the worst scores are telling about the game. Do they realize that the score is gonna be forever bad but the game nop?

Do you expect them to rate the game based on hypothetical content that they don't have? The game is out now, thus naturally will be rated for what it is now. If you don't want to be criticized for a lack of content, you release it with more content (as Nintendo do with the majority of their other games). Reviewers have treated other titles (like Driveclub) in a similar fashion.

It would also probably help to not charge full price in your biggest market, while at the same time acknowledging it's not worth the full price in various other countries.

Again, no, I can´t understand how the "The most original and enjoyable online shooter of the generation" has a 7.  I really doiesn´t make sense, and is the trend of all the low scores, you read it, and then you look at the score is like what?

At the end of the day that is the score of a boring game. 

But hey, is what it is, it was a risk and this is the pay, but is still a good metascore, so Ok.
