And it probably isn't, but not significantly. The Brits and Panzers are so different, both from the preceding classes and from each other, that it is rather tricky to believe the playing field is level. Give or take the odd ability, they felt pretty equal. The US and Germans in the original game had their differences, but the underlying mechanics were the same. It's an unavoidable side-effect of making CoH so proudly asymmetrical. Yes, there will almost inevitably be some imbalance.
Their other issue is balance, and that's where, much as I respect their concerns, I entirely disagree. Some of their complaints centre around bugs and multiplayer connection problems I've not noticed any howlers myself, but can't totally attest to online stability until the game's out with the public at large.
This surprised me at first as, though OF may be a bit more of a turn-off for the madding crowd, in most ways it would seem to a glorious reinvention for anyone who adores CoH, shoving in fresh ideas to make a splendidly varied game. A vocal section of the community who've been on the Opposing Fronts beta have publicly expressed dissatisfaction. I'm not speaking to the CoH hardcore with this, for they have their own complaints.
