The single player game is very good. And there is no question the game has incredible graphics (the smoke is astounding) and sound. My hat is off to the design team on this account. However, these days it's more about the multi-player aspect of the game and this is where the game just is a huge let down, in fact its crap, C-R-A-P (to use the highly technical term). I had high expectations about this part of the game which ended in a big let down. The level of realism there is practically non-existent. There are no tactics involved and its all about being a stupid frag fest. If I'd wanted that I'd have gone out and bought the next installment of Quake or Unreal Tournament. Grenade launcher shots that are a perfect strike from a full city block away, bullets that can penetrate a 3 foot thick cinder block wall to kill you, unloading half of a 30 round clip into someone and they don't die, respawns of the enemy right on top of you, enemy helicopters that NEVER miss. I could go on and on. It's just crap. But the worst part is that you have to gain ranks while you work up the ladder. Gaining ranks get you better weapons and perks. However, as a lowly corporal you're thrown into the online fight against 5-star generals and colonels and captains, and other higher ranks. To use a term from World of Warcraft, these would be in the category of so called "twink" players. Players that are much better equipped and as such usually dominate. So you're subjected to round after round of humiliation to continue to gain ranks, and better weapons. So, with no tactics invovled it's all about who has the better gun and who can put the pipper on whom faster. I'm going to stop wasting my time and switch to Battlefield 2.
