if you don't have online, read no further this game isnt for you. if youre reading this i assume you have live and my question for you is why have you not experienced this game yet? in my estimation this is the greatest online game for consoles to date. but first let me get this out of the way. the single player is nothing special, there i said it. its not bad, kinda funny even but definitely nothing to write home about. it does serve as a useful tutorial to the games weapons and gadgets though. now that i've gotten that out of the way i can tell you what you've been missing out on. online you choose your class: assault, demo, recon, specialist, support. each has a different weapon and gadget to use and while all of them are useful, everyone usually tends to favor one or two after they've tried them all. for me its recon and support classes. when im looking at the battlefield from afar with my trusty VSS sniper rifle i get to really appreciate everything thats going on. for example: on defense i've taken my place in a sniping tower and my teammates have also dug in w/ emplaced weapons or sniping spots. waiting for the next wave of enemies to respawn. as a few come around the corner i hear a cacophony of machine gun fire to my left and see a wave of rockets fly in from the right and annihilate a poor sap who got caught in the open. this game is filled with moments such as these. if you prefer to play it more aggressively all the power to you. sometimes i like to sneak past enemy lines to take out the enemy's artillery and sabotage their vehicles. the first time i ever did that i had such and adrenaline rush. if you've never had someone walk by you as you hide in a bush right by their spawn you havent lived...now i need to get back to my addiction...
