I do not really understand people's issue, did you really expect to be able to go into a game and take bullets like lv28s do in PvE. Any PvP is about the skill of the player, not just the hitpoints you can deal out and/or absorb. I went into IB for the first time last night, and it was exactly as I expected, subtle differences, enough to encourage everyone to play. COD is the most played console FPS online shooter and has much worse issues than the ones you are explaining. Personally, I think the PvP is a breath of fresh air vs other FPS's.
