I'm not to good at reviews but I believe this game deserves a good rating.
I haven't completed the game yet. What I have figured out so far is the game is like BO1. Story line was boring up until i got a few hours into it(hey i dunno how long it takes the average gamer to beat the game but i like to enjoy mine) and the whole crazy twisted story starts to fall into place.
I really enjoy the futuristic parts of the game, but i can say one thing they could of atleast spent a bit more time adding different faces to the game. I swear I stopped to look at one group of soldiers and every single face was the same. I busted out laughing.
Here is another downer I just HATED, while playing the game I never knew when I was gonna have control over my character. I would go to move to follow the person ahead of me but alas the game had control over him. I dont get enough freedom like that.

MP I cant tell you how that goes yet. I played one match and it was funny( considering i was just messing around with the C4 and being a jerk). Zombies I have NO IDEA because to be honest I cant play that to even save my life.
The whole striker unit missions reminds me of Halo Wars....Im no fan of it(yes i own the game..) and didnt enjoy commanding units around. Sorry but it did remind me of halo lol.
So yeah keep in mind the game will be just like all the others they came out with. I bet you a cool $1,00,000 that the next one they release will be the same disappointment. I enjoyed it and im still enjoying it.

IN all After all my poor reviewing i still give this game a 10. What do you expect from them? They made countless games that all are basically the same!!!

It wasn't anything special. I felt like I went through the game and it was just ... over. Never had a feeling that I was 'in' the game, just felt like a convoluted mess. Also it had a convoluted story. They do a time jump to tell the story and that just muddied the waters. You are here then there then here then there. And they have these stupid strategy missions which have all sorts of limitations and they don't feel part of the story. Finally, throughout the game you make choices that impact the ending. But you don't know you are making these choices. It is very choose your own adventure ending but you don't know what your choices are.

Above Average

Kind of boring to be honest

Just a lot of running around with no real skill set needed to complete the game even on the highest settings. Run and shoot, repeat. I kind of digged the story line though. I guess I'm more of a Splinter Cell / Hitman fan where you have to actually think about what you're going to do and not just go in guns blazing all the time. Still, it kept me entertained for a few hours.
