I'm so happy I pre-ordered this game, because it's just sick. The campaign and online play are very satisfying, and everything about this game resembles Battlefield Bad Company. If you like Battlefield, this is a shoe-in. I am stunned at how realistic this game is, but especially the way the guns feel and sound. You won't be let down. The campaign is long and impressive (that's what she said), online play is deep, and it's super easy to unlock achievements...what more could you ask for?
CAMPAIGN:
Once again, it feels like playing Battlefield but blended in a TON of variety to keep things interesting. There's a very nice array of both stealthy and guns a blazin' missions. The environments are destructive like Battlefield, but nothing beats killing a bunch of Taliban terrorists.
- You can stab enemies relentlessly--just keep button mashing melee and your guy will stab this dirty terrorist 100 times on his way down. And if you stand over him you will crouch down and melee his corpse.
- More than a dozen deep missions, using tons of variety like AC 130s, mortars, laser guided missiles, sniping, etc. Blow the heads off the Taliban fruits with a nice snipe or close range shotgun.
- You can toggle night vision, thermal, and/or both.
- You carry 2 guns, but can double tap Y to auto change to a pistol with infinite ammo. You can also press X and a teammate will replenish your ammo. A few nice additions not seen elsewhere...
ONLINE:
Also, very similar to Battlefield. You can choose between Assault, Spec Recon, or Sniper classes, each with diff 1st and 2nd guns, and attachments. You upgrade those by gaining EXP with each class, and can switch between them when you die. If you get picked off, switch to a sniper and go kill that little camper. Only complaint is there's already lots of snipers...like Battlefield. There's variety in games like deathmatch, defend territory, and objective based modes. It's fun.
