This game gets old, fast! I love WWII shooters more than anyone, but give me a break. My two biggest problems with this game are character movement problems. This game is supposed to be so advanced, but has anyone noticed that you can't lean, go prone, or crawl??? It's like they spent all their time developing the AI and forgot basic movement features that came out way back with one of the MOH expansion packs. I am also tired of unloading entire magazines at people and only hitting them with one or two rounds. Another giant problem has to do with their whole "suppress, flank, kill" tactic. If you play the game you will notice that if you use one team to suppress enemy troops, and then use yourself and another team to flank them, you can usually maneuver around the enemy until you have a good side view and an excellent firing position on them. As soon as your start to fire at them, they stand up and turn to fire back at you. Now at this point, you would think that they would be cut down by the fire from your initial suppression team, but NO! What usually happens is that they fire back at you, hit you before you can crouch (that's all you can do) and run away to another safe spot. It's like your other team's rounds have no effect, or they just stop firing when the Germans expose themselves. All in all I am very disappointed, and I can't believe that everyone thinks this game is SOO great! My advice.....wait for Call of Duty 2. At least you will be able to lay your A** down on the ground, or lean around a freaking corner. I had the same problem with the first Brothers in Arms, and some shlub actually argued that you DIDN'T NEED to lean or go prone in the game. I will be the judge of what I need to do in order not to get shot thank you!
