I was fairly disappointed in the execution in this game. The game in NOT like any other shooter I've ever seen, restricting your ability to aim down your iron sights, giving enemy's a huge amount of health, and no way of telling your own health.
Bodycount is a game that doesn't have a storyline, puts a gun in your hands, and lets you shoot at things. And I'm alright with that. But when they take the thing your supposed to do, shoot people in a mad frenzy, and make it incredibly difficult, it starts to get very frustrating.
Other than a almost impossible shooting system, enemies that can take a grenade to the face, and a false sense of achievements, (When you start up the 2nd mission, you get a 50G achievement) this game could have come out pretty well. Codemasters wanted to make a shooter like no other, and they sure did, but in a bad way. Its worth picking up and giving a try, though

Fair

Not as bad as they say, but not that good either.

Pros:

Graphics are quite good.
Weapons are fairly good (although not too varied).
Environment is relatively open.

Cons:

Controls drift.
Shooting while aiming moves you forward.

Moving while aiming jerks you (supposed to be "peeking").

[I don't need the game to "peek" for me, I'll do it when I want to,
whichever way I want to. It's an alarming trend in new games,
programmers thinking they can anticipate what we'll want to do
and doing it themselves for us. Irritating and disgusting].

Oversized icons (blue rings, red rings) spread all over the place
(indicating points, or energy, or something?) but actually blocking
the scenery.

Loud, absurd sounds at absurd times for absurd reasons (ding-doing!,
eeeoooo-boink!, etc.).

Female voice over not quite clear or distinguishable. I missed a lot
of her comments/instructions (and there's no option for captions).

an FPS where you can't aim and move at the same time, nuff said, this game is complete garbage. I tried multiplayer too, sat in a full lobby with everyone "ready" for 20 mins and the game never started. Don't even waste a rent on this one guys.
