Enemy Territory and Wolf: ET are the same game. Based on the beta, QuakeWars was kinda very similar. Different, but same roots.

...Ok. This sounds exactly like it's the same game Enemy Territory is?

I think a reviewer has an obligation to play past that, but otoh, people who judge a game by the first few hours ARE going to run into the same thing the joystiq guy saw. So for that, I think his review is perfectly valid. He should really just do an addendum to it with his feelings after 10-15 hours.

I don't think people should review multiplayer games until they've played at least 50 hours after launch. Playing against bots or a few members of the press does not give a good indication of the actual online experience. And playing for a few days doesn't either. It takes time learn to fully appreciate the depth of any multiplayer game and the game changes drastically based on your skill and experience levels, as well as those of your opponents.

Just to be absolutely clear here, my findings and observations were removed without my permission. I was not aware or given any notice.

Based on what I've read so far, it looks like people didn't take time to learn what they were supposed to do, or they weren't familiar with what they were getting into, and expected a standard deathmatch FPS.
