Re: I tried to tell you the technical test was

To add to what others have said, it's not mutually exclusive to be both apprehensive and positive about the game.

I've got my own worries about a few things, some that might get fixed, some that won't (the auto-locked topic, sliding, gunplay pacing), but i'm also positive about some things (portal, the core game if some of the worries turn out to be false, etc)

Until the game launches though all we can do is speculate, or in the case of during/post beta, give feedback/report bugs and see if things change.
