An acquired taste

This game is extremely hard to review and even harder to rate. First off the single player. I am tired of hearing people say its some horrible thing that needs to go die. The single player is a good training for the multiplayer which is what a single player is supposed to do especially for an online game like this. Second about lag most people now have broadband and I only get lag on a small occasion while this is really however you have a set up so please stop attacking the game about this..

To move on to the game I HATED this game at first. Absolutely hated myself for buying it but at the same time no matter how frusterated at seemingly cheap kills that happen on the multiplayer. First sometimes when you join a game and the team you get thrown on is losing horribly the spawn killing is horrible. People will camp out the spawn points and mow you down before you even get to move. Second the multiplayer is fun but not memorable unless you have a lot of people.

Now to move on about the bad I LOVE this game now. I started getting used to the guns and how everything handled and within about 2 days of playing it the game turned into a ferocious amount of fun. The drones and the extra things you can use to fight add to a lot of tactics. This game needs tactics it is not just a run in and shoot thing.

The action is intense in a large game on multiplayer the sounds of explosions and small arms fire from every direction while seeing helicopters firing flares and missiles at AAA batteries as they fire flack and missles right back at the heli. Along with that the helicopters have planes to worry about in the air and ground units have to worry about bombs and air strikes.

There are maps that are primarily armor and it is obvious that it is the intended purpose and there are levels based mostly on infantry against infantry.

Overall this game is fun and intense and I believe is getting a lot more slack then it should be. I also think that people need to force themselves to play this and get used to it because the guns and vehicles handle a lot different from any game of this kind. The single player is a great learning tool for the game as it runs through every kind of vehicle and weapon type. Finally have a good internet connection, nothing truly spectacular but a good connection.
