Read the post and everything seems alright, though their reason for no public server files sounds a lot like a DRM. Instead of giving you less control to protect against piracy, they say its to protect against cheating.
The player animation and movement looks fine to me. Though they seem to have some poor texture artists. Good textures on an old game can still make things look beautiful, but poor textures make a game look older than it is.
I believe that I read that it's 18 slot for ranked server, then $.99 per extra player slot per month. So you can increase it, just takes more money.
For consoles I think they will keep it 18 slot max though, but it might be the same as the pc server system.
The money system bothers me a little. From what I read you get money from leveling up, so if that and wagering on matches are the only ways to make money to buy equipment and other things, you will have to be careful on what you spend money. Would also like to know if all your money and assets get reset when you prestige like in MW2.
