Granted, this game could have been SO much more; however I thoroughly enjoyed it. The graphics are not up to the same level as other next gen games, but this wasn't a big deal for me. The online ability is decent but finding matches can sometimes be a chore, but once in the games are above average. Not having voice communcation hurts this games rating. For the campaign, I thought the story was good and the characters very well written. I loved the fact these guys aren't in their 20s with perfect bodies and chisled chins. The cover system is not as smooth as say 'Uncharted' but is not that hard to get around. I have heard complaints about the aiming, but for me this adds to the realism of the game. People do not hit what they are aiming at 100% of the time and I really liked that. The closer you got to an enemy the more accurate you became. Excluding the cover system, moving was smooth and easy. Aiming was even easier, the blind firing option was a nice touch. In most games control over your squad is not where it should be. This game is no different, everything is fine until you direct them to attack a postion; sometimes they fire from cover and at others they just run over and get lit up like a candle. But I haven't played a game that has figured that flaw out yet. Overall a decent and entertaining game.
