I'll post my own opinion here)
I don't understand people who try to RP in VCMP because the game features are limited, and everyone can feel these limits. Let's compare Gta vc and Counter-strike. As everyone would say, the first thing that differs the first one is vehicle features that let us drive vehicle, steal it and ofc crash it as hard as we can. The second one is a big map (it is not that big far cry island but it's probably bigger than 10 de dusts). BUT the game stays good for over ten years: the textures are low, every skin looks like pentagonal paperman and the game doesnt make your PC work like V12. I dont understand why it is not such popular but it is still good like a paper battle field, not anything else.
