utterly pleasing, in every way

first, lets get the bad out the way. its buggy. crouching on the floor for too long send you half way through the floor and says your dead. secondly, the game itself is a bit twitchy. ive looked at my spec and what it recommends and its better or the same as what it wants and still manages to throw all the power in the recycling bin.

thats the bad.

the good just goes on forever. totally customisable kit. my fave is the Tavor (wrongly named in the game for legal reasons probably) with an ACOG scope and supressor with my secondary being a PSG1 with 6x/12x scope and a raging bull revolver. its owns.
next, the graphics. ive heard people on forums slagging off the graphics at how they were too bland, all of them, and im not joking, were X360 fanboys.
the graphics are beautiful, maybe not upto the 360, but it will give it a run for its money.
gameplay, bliss. being completely supressed by terrorists, just stick your gun around the corner and blind fire! the tagging system is cool to, in a hostage situatio with a terrorist pointing his gun at a hostage, you want him taken out first. thsi just allows you to take out specific targets before anything else.
my only nibble with the game is its way of just getting you into unwinnable situations. in the first mission where you meets up with your team mates, they lay down smoke for you (example of the AI) and you run across the road. BANG! youve been owned, by a guy with a pistol. but that might have just been me being careless, but if you are careless, you'll get shot in no time at all. the health system is unforgiving. as you get shot, your vision blurs up to the point of blackness. and this alll happens in 6-7 shots from an assault rifle. hard eh?
and because all of the buttons and manuvers you can do with three buttons, and if your not tacticlly minded, how to be tactical (sort of) it takes about an hour to learn everything.

but overall, this is a game you should own. its good enough to be sitting on your desktop.
