This was a really well done single player FPS (I didn't play multiplayer). I like how they switch between different operatives: Seals, Rangers, Delta and a heli pilot. Each switch had a significant change in the gameplay and this might have been the first time I actually felt more involved in an FPS then in the past. You have to pay attention to what your AI buddy is saying. If he says, "headshot only on the Tango on your high 9, make it count", it actually has meaning then the usual chatter you typically ignore in a shooter.
Having the game set in the Middle East was topical and it actually did give you a feel for what real soldiers are going through, as well as how they might communicate and interact.
The weapons felt good and powerful. I like the aim functionality in the FrostBite engine where when you engage your sites, you come up on target if you are near an enemy. It avoids that frustrating "almost" got him aim you get in some games.
My only complaint was the length. If this game took 5 hours to get through, I would be surprised. It was short, but you do move quickly through levels, not alot of standing around so you are getting alot of bang for the time you are playing. I knocked off a point for the length.
