Not a run and gun game, that's for sure. Slow and intense and it's a good thing. Very good graphics. Best gunfire sounds I think I've heard. Indoor and outdoor environments. The cut scenes with the INN World News was cool. Movement is slow, but I think that adds to the realism of the game. Remember your trying to stay alive so maybe lets not run. The team controls are pretty good, guys sometimes get ahead of themselves and into trouble. If they'd just listen to me better they'd be alive still. The cheating comes in when they spawn guys into an area you just checked. I'd go around make sure they was no one there, then boom they drop a guy in right behind you. And sometimes when the mounted guns are empty, you make sure there is no one to take it up, all clear, nope the drop a guy in, he jumps right on it and has you in the cross-hairs immediately! They seem to be psychic too, as soon as you go to re-load or you put your scope down, they'll spring into action! I can see if he's right around the corner they could hear me re-load, but it didn't matter where they were, they knew EXACTLY when to strike. Not cool. Really like being able to call in air strikes, mortar attacks and snipers, but the snipers are really not that good. I thought these were Marines! The dude is right in front of you... SHOOT dammit! The M203 grenade launcher is way too affective, half the time I used it, I ended up dead. Even outside it would blast me out. Hand held grenades seem to find every wall or overhang they can to fall back onto your lap. All in all a really good game that pulls you in and keeps it interesting and has a good length single player campaign.

I have waited a long time for a Marine Corps based game this is a great game that absolutely delivered. I don't care what the naysayer has to say frankly. This is an outstanding game. For one it is pretty much realist... Read Full Review
this was a wonderful game, it was realistic and it had some great weapons but it was an incredibly hard game it was great but it was also a one shot one kill game if you get shot in the head you are going to die the plot... Read Full Review
