good first play through...multiplayer is dead.
now onto the game. the graphics are above average for the time and because its just another WW2 FPS that puts it below an 8 already.
the open battles are a good idea though, being able to parachute where ever you want to go but there are only three types of landing zones. the good safe ones with lots of ammo, the ones far off in an irrelevant corner of the map and the other is pretty much a one way ticket to the pearly gates. the AI seems to be pinpoint accurate and hit you mostly 95% of the time but it does nothing for you as i swear the hit boxes are actually smaller than model used.
the single player campaign is very short and be completed within 6 hours or five years if you insist on the hardest difficulty first time through.
the weapons are the only good point as they can be upgraded but you only really use the MP40 and one of the semi-auto rifles (gweher for me) and all the other weapons are pretty much blighted by obsurd recoil that would only be possible with 20mm shells.
overall the single player is compitant but is in no way realistic (im sure there werent an elite bunch of stormtroopers that wielded MG42s that had bullet proof gas masks and im very sure that the flakturm was only 50m high and not higher than the effiel tower which guns that rival that of the death star's.
the multiplayer is dead, enough said there, the last time i looked before selling the game there were a total of 54 players total online, compare that to the 10,000+ people who were on chromehounds at the same time.
