The long anticipated wait, fulfilled.

Even if we had to wait a whole-hearty two years after it was projected to come out, it was worth it. I honestly couldn't contain my excitement as it neared September, and then as it neared the release date. As I popped in the game and saw the opening credits and heard the song, I got a little giddy.

Campaign- Best of the series and what this entire game was made for. From the gore to the dialogue, the game did not diminish in it's luster. There were a few dialogue spots that just made you think, "that's a little silly" or "wow, give me better voiceovers," but nothing to the point of disliking the entire dialogue. When you eventually get to the end of the game, it is a supreme tear jerker. I've never ever teared up over a storyline in a game, until now. There's just a part in it that just tugs at every tear, but this is only because it's true. Had it not been true, maybe it wouldn't have been such a touching moment. The moments of Baker's flashbacks are a little frightening at how dark they are. It just makes you wonder how many people actually endured the torment of trauma during the war, both Germans and Allies. Nevertheless, the blood and gore introduced into the game definitely made it what it is. I remember watching a webdoc on it and one of the lead designers had stated that they weren't looking to make the deaths pretty and glamorous like most shooting games do. They wanted to show what would really happen if a grenade or bazooka round landed or hit beside you. Needless to say, it's very rewarding to see a guy blown in half in slow motion after you threw a grenade into their little pow-wow.

Multiplayer- I don't have too many good things to say about this, but the game wasn't really made for this part. With only one gametype to play, it wasn't very fulfilling. The squad leader feature was kinda neat, but you didn't really get to do too much with it other than calling an air strike or directing waypoints that hardly many people paid much attention too. Outside of this, the lag was depressing. I played many games of 10v10 and it was just like asking for lag. But hey, I kept in mind that the campaign made up for it.

Campaign- A very hearty 10/10.
Multiplayer- A disappointing yet decent 9/10.
