A "dead" game, stay away!

I only purchased this game because it was 20 bucks, and out of curiosity to see where the MOH franchise had gone since the days of Pacific Assault. Aside the graphics quality -which is excellent- when compared to the storyline and gameplay with Pacific Assault, this game is an insult, the MOH team should consider going back to basics.
In the single player you are more of a participant in a movie with a bad script than an independent player. Right in the middle of the action suddenly the game decides that it's going to take control of "your guy" and unexpectedly push you through a door with bad guys on the other side.
In some "missions" you have to drive a vehicle in order to complete the mission, had I known this I would have bought GTA, come on!
The dialogue is utterly ridiculous with all these ultra masculine guys with thick raspy voices calling each other "bro" and "brother" and every other phrase seems to be a military cliche. The testosterone levels are so high that the needle falls outside, what, no one ever says "I'm hungry" anymore and instead have to use some code? Moronic.
One mission takes place in the far east (Philippines maybe) there is some kind of hurricane going on, but it's more like a end-of-the-world scene like in the movie 2012 than any real hurricane.
Perhaps more importantly, that these games are purchased mostly for the multiplayer experience should not be news to anyone, and there are tons of servers listed, the problem is that there is no one to play with, the most servers I've seen with people in them is 4, and most of them sooner or later you get kicked because "the server is running content you don't have". Spend more??? no way!
Had I gone to the moves I would have spent about $20, which is what I spent, when you see an awful movie you don't get your money back either, so I figure ah well I got about 18 hours of play out of it, which is more than a 2 hour movie with overpriced popcorn.
