What can't I say about this game. Both visual and online play are stunningly addictive and fun!
- For a very indepth and detailed story, it was relatively short but yet seemed to include so much. Gameplay is really unbeatable by any other current modern-day war FPS. Their are multiple types of multiplayer modes which really offers anything you could want or expect from an online FPS. Great selection of guns in both single and multiplayer mode. Single player is quite fun but for this one mutliplayer is where all of the action and fun is at. With ranking and unlockable weapons, feats, and add-ons this makes the multiplayer extremely fun and addicting. Weapons are evenly made and all have their benefits and their flaws. Only straigt flaw that I have found is with the ACOG scope, its not quite as good at the red-dot sight.
Environment & Immersion: 9.5/10
- Environments are probably some of the most detailed and eye-candy rich that I've yet to see. Both single player and multiplayer maps are of fantastic quality. All multiplayer maps are pulled from single player. With the graphics, gameplay, and realistic physics and action, this game is probably one of the most immersive FPS games to date.
Graphics/Physics: 10/10
- I'll be honest, I was more visually stunned and excited while playing this game for the first time than I was with Crysis. I would have to say physics-wise, my favorite part is the material factor. By this I mean you can shoot through certain materials, depending on what gun, and other materials you can't. I really couldn't of asked for much more other than fully collapsable enviornment, but with that multiplayer would fail to even be entertaining or challanging. Textures, Shadowing and lighting are all visually stunning and more than meeted my expectations. RPG rockets maybe a total let down, but the smoke trail that it leaves behind is the most realistic I've ever seen.
Sound: 9.5/10
- The voices in single player add quite a lot of humor, expecially the british leader. Explosions and gun shots are very realistic. Can't complain about any sound that I've heard in this game.
Bugs, Stability & Performance: 9/10
- The only reason this part didn't get a 10 is because of Punk Buster. Yes, Punk Buster is necessary but it is the only reason that I've ever had any crashes or disconnection. Punk Buster needs some fine tuning in the debugging department.
Replay value: 10/10
- I bought this game when It came out, I've yet to uninstall it and I don't think I will for a very long time. I've played through single player twice and I just can't get enough of online play. This game is also great for lan parties.
Value for money: 10/10
- I honestly would have probably paid more for it.
Will this game be remembered by old school gamers as a classic after 10 years?:
- Oh most definately. Before this game was released I kept hearing people say that they weren't expecting much out of it or that they figured it would be a total let down and of course I disagreed. Lets just say I told you so.
Who would I recommend to buy the game?:
- Anyone who likes FPS and expecially those who like Modern Day FPS. Heck if you have never played a FPS style game, this is a good place to start.
-----------------------------------------------
Overall: 9.5 - What can't I say about this game. Both visual and online play are stunningly addictive and fun! If you haven't played this game, you really ought to try it out. Don't bother downloading this one, the developers deserve your money for making it.
