the spontaneous action during multiplayer makes this game fun and varied
this game is fun but also requires thinking to play, you can't just rambo into the open or make a run for that car that's across the street during a firefight. you actually have to think so that you don't get gunned down by everyone and become a free target.
the greatest part of this game is when you join a server with your Vo IP mic and join a squad and are just able to talk to each other and coordinate and actually act as a squad. it can be hard to find a squad that actually does this but when you do you'll be playing for several hours before you realize what time it is. this is what truly makes the game so great. you don't have 30 players yelling at each other over who's the best, just 6 people at the most talking to each other normally and also the squad leader who is able to talk to the commander. if the game came with a microphone s everyone had one it'd be better but it supports VOIP out of the box so no complaints here.
the artillery can get a little annoying at times but it doesn't ruin the game. it just teaches you to move rather than camp in a single spot for more than 10 seconds. also, it doesn't rain down constantly because it takes a while to reload itself for the commander to use it. it's also funny sometimes when you're literally less than 5 seconds from capturing a flag when you here it whistle and then fly several stories into the air after being hit by the barrage.
there are a few slight vehicle balance issues because after the recent update the helicopters are just a little weak in their armour and the planes are a little to strong n every aspect but that doesn't affect the game negatively.
the main problem with the game is the team killers. there aren't many in ranked servers which is fine but in unranked servers it gets really annoying but the unranked servers aren't usually that good anyway. also, having a bad commander can ruin you round. you can mutiny him but most of the time he doesn't get voted out. once the next round starts the commander usually is different though. so this again isn't a big issue.
all of the unlocked weapons are fun now that they balanced the PKM. most of the unlockable weapons are just as good as their default counterparts but they have scopes or a bigger magazine or they just look freakin cool. but they are balanced so people that are new to the game don't get dominated by the veterans by superior firepower.
overall you'll definitely get you money's worth out of this game because of how much replay time you get out of it. Since it's all based around multiplayer, there's no predictable NPC AI. You're always up against other people so there's always something new happening and your opponent (hopefully) is smart. so i wold recommend getting it because it'll last you longer than all those other great games like HL2 and call of duty 2 do with their limited single player and basic multiplayer.
