Going to jump in here to cut off any possible incidents. Also, Jason, a poll is a really bad idea, and I encourage members not to vote.
EDIT:
Jason, your enthusiasm and passion for this game is impressive, but it's really, really hard to take you seriously when you haven't even managed to touch the game, let alone manage to get your hands on a copy of Crysis. Also, your general inexperience with a lot of the things that relate to not only the game, but the making of the mod and the battletech universe raise the question as to why you so fervently comment on nearly every aspect of the game/community/development. There's also several general unspoken rules of forum posting that you tend to break routinely.
While you have actually come quite far in learning more and more about what it is you lack, to put it quite frankly, your immaturity shows in a lot of what you post. Don't take this negatively, but it is still criticism; use it to improve yourself so you can join the community rather than force yourself upon it. You need to learn more and behave in a much more mature manner before anyone here will really take you seriously, and while enthusiasm and passion is a good thing, showering it over everyone all the time will eventually grind down the patience of the most kindhearted people among us.
My advice to you: take the time to go out and research through alot of the info that pertains to the mod and the canon universe, and try to behave in a more mature manner. What I mean by this is that you need to stop and take the time to evaluate what you're thinking and what you might post before you post it; try to understand the mood of people in the forum, the real underlying issues behind a post, and make sure you have the know-how and experience before offering your opinion. What's basically happening now is that you're kinda blindly flinging your thoughts and opinions around with no real concern or weight behind them, and often times you take the ideas that have already been presented previously on the board several times and repost them as your own.
To put it in a understandable fashion, what you've been doing so far is akin to some random guy off the street joining a band and performing in it with no real practice. It really sticks out and is extremely noticeable, and it can throw off the entire system of that performance. Don't take this the wrong way, as there's people who should be much more mature and experienced than you who fall into the same area, but it's up to you whether or not to work hard to improve our perception of you.
Don't be discouraged, but temper that enthusiasm with common sense and tact.
2nd edit: don't take the results of the poll too badly, but rather, use it as a means to identify what you need to improve.
