This game has had me wanting to huck my wireless controller around the room on numerous occasions. The reason? Issues. This game has some bad ones.
For example,
1). NPC AI is so counter-productive, it becomes laughable. Situation: MP42 down at the end of a hallway and you are crouched behind some cover, trying to spot the gunner's helmet so you can pull off a silencing headshot. However, your allies are continuing to run along, getting mowed down in front of you, making a big pile of static bodies that obscure your view, but not your opponents'. Non-realistic fakey stuff.
2). Maps are funnelling. Situation: you are in a field, running to your next objective, you look to the left and see a bush. you go over to check it out and then thump! you hit a glass wall. whaa?!??
3). Buggy. I have gotten stuck a handful of times on my first effort through the campaign behind a rock or a plank of wood or a crate or whatever. I have to wonder who did the QA for this game? Also, sometimes, I would be shooting a guy in the face as he was hiding behind cover but NO damage would be done, then he would pop out and kill me. Infuriating.
On the other side, the graphics are beautiful, the sound is of the highest caliber, and for the most part, the gameplay is a good time. The mini-games become a bore, but still ok.
All in all, quite a disappointment after the precision of COD2.
