Honestly, I want this game. It LOOKS great, but I don't want to buy a dead game.

In a word, (yes or no) how is the multiplayer.

Also, how active is the community?

well, it def. has its good points and its weak points. when you play it, these will be painfully obvious. the good? well, it looks great, missions can be fun. the bad? enemies take forever to die, lots of driving. it certainly is intense, though. i mean, i turned it down to the easiest difficulty. it was hard, just frustrating and by now, i just want to beat it as i still havent.

I used to always be online but got a few other games at the time so stopped playing it, hoping to get back into it soon as i always thought it was better than COD online tbh

I never really play it online. I jsut recently started checking out some of the user built maps. My favorite is the water world one. Pretty darn cool.

I just love the single player. I never really mind driving. I just shoot over to a bus station, take a hop to the nearest bus station to my objective and cruise around. I use cars for explosive weapons anyway. I stick a bomb to it. Drive it fast at my target, jump out and hit explode. Always a great start to a gun fight! I find the enemys pretty easy to kill once you buy some accuracy upgrades. I take mose enemies out with an AK47 with short burst at long range.

my xbox is broken so i havent been able to play in almost a month, but when i did play is was easy to get into a match. Only problem is is that everyone that plays is a pretty high rank so they have some pretty good weapons. Bout a 2hour learning curve to get decent in the game but really fun!

I am borrowing it from a friend and am looking forward to buying it. I get on the multiplayer and it is very possible to find matches. I hope this summer a lot more people come back to it.

I think the multi-player is really fun, play the ranked though, because the maps load faster, if you play the other game type, you might have to download some silly map which you will end up hating. Also, I found that sometimes the games were pretty unfair in terms of skill. While playing TDM the other team absolutely killed us, and my team was all new players while the other guys obviously had a lot of game time :P But despite everything, the game is really fun online, to me it felt less serious than CoD, and more fan based.

I play this game till now! It's a very fun online/multiplayer game, and, believe, you'll find a lot of people playing! If you like a calm Sniper game, with nice maps, you should go to player matches. The maps featured by player are really fun!

Idk why anyone would want to play that piece of crap. The map editor is only decent thing in the whole game. Hopefully 3 will be a good game like the old farcrys

That's just it though. The map editor gave us the possibility of pretty much playing a different map every match, and that is what made the multiplayer awesome. I thought the gameplay was pretty decent myself, but it was definitely the hundreds of custom maps that made it really fun to play. It was a far cry (no pun intended) from most games that only have 8-10 maps in their multiplayer. Then again, I only rented the game and played it a short while, so maybe I would've gotten bored had I decided to buy it.
