I didn't know how I would like this game so I didn't buy it I rented instead...well, this game is getting bought!! If your looking for a deep, long single player story, this isn't the game for you, check out Mass Effect. The story mode is shorter than a Brittney Spears mini skirt! No major flaws and the graphics are great and the playability is easy and straight forward. No, this game is all about the numbers in multiplayer. With rooms of up to 50 players, huge maps and more vehicles than you can imagine, it just equals fun on a big scale. The controls are fairly easy to use for the infantry, vehicles control though are a little quarky, I still can't fly a plane!! But visually the online graphics are great! Battle smoke, haze, dust and cool explosions with little or no lag. And the sounds are awesome! Gunfire, drones, helo's, jets, bombs are all constant sounds and the you can't help but get excited when you hear a cluster bomb explode! One other thing I was concerned about, trying to listen to team members over 10+ other players. Or gettin stuck in listening to a bunch of loud mouths...no problem, you can only talk and hear member of your own squad! You form squads of up to 4 and can only communicate with them, so you and some buddies or team mates you play well with can talk and work together without have to talk over everyone else! The biggest negative I can say about the online experience is the hit recognition needs a little polish. Sometimes your shots just don't hit the other player the way I would like to see, especially when both characters are not moving and crosshairs are dead on and it registers a miss. But it is more of an annoyance and really most noticeable when using the sniper class. All this is a great game, far exceeding my expectations. With a little polish (hopefully in the form of a patch) this game would easily get a rating of 9.5 from me. A great game that I plan on buying. It is truly a multiplayer game!
