3 * install often fails. See multiple threads about the issues. 3 * install often fails. See multiple threads about the issues.
4 * there are no tutorials even though the UI is rich to the point of bloat and there are many complex mechanics. 4 * there are no tutorials even though the UI is rich to the point of bloat and there are many complex mechanics.
5 * ZKL is a shitty glorified irc client. I dare you to find the skirmish button (hard mode: in less than 10s like in any proper game; easy mode: at all). 5 * ZKL is a shitty glorified irc client.

6 * the campaign is not what the average porcnab expects. [spoiler]Despite evolving comms being a "major" feature loved by noobs, the campaign boi has no proper progression (in the sense that you get a set of modules which is fairly random, not monotonically more powerful over time, and not customizable). No unit progression either, it keeps at low-mid density. You never get to make a Bertha or any strider, and you always have just 1 or 2 facs unlocked. The journals effectively don't exist due to hard access. It only offers a handful of text lines about each of new units introduced in each mission. It's fairly difficult to find the actual campaign UI instead of individual missions. Individual missions are mostly random unmanaged crap.[/spoiler] 6 * the campaign is not what the average porcnab expects.

8 * most people don't want MP ( many in general, but just as many prefer SP before MP) so combined with the above ( ultra-terrible SP) you lose out on a huge portion of people. 8 * many people don't want MP ( and some don't want MP before SP) so combined with the above ( ultra-terrible SP) you lose out on a huge portion of people.
9 * no proper way to control your own MP room. You can do "!map red comet" but a nub won't know either about the !map command nor about the names of good maps. People keep asking how to add a bot or control boxes. 9 * no proper way to control your own MP room.

11 * if you instead join a public room it takes a lot of time to get a match going due to random chat and especially due to voting on irrelevant crap which the newbie doesn't even understand. 11 * if you instead join a public room it takes a lot of time to get a match going due to random chat and especially due to voting on irrelevant crap which the newbie doesn't even understand.
