The real soldiers the game is based on: 10. EA: 5

I really wanted to love this game.........I thought if handled correctly it could shed some light on what our guys over there are experiencing and give folks an appreciation of the sacrifices they are making. I just got this in the mail today and the campaign is almost unplayable because of all the freeze ups that occur at checkpoints. Good gracious I can't believe EA let this go out the door in this state and that Microsoft certified it. No excuse for these kinds of problems especially since they used an established engine (Unreal engine in the Campaign) that works for every other shooter on the planet.
I've dabbled with the multiplayer and that actually works pretty well (Frostbite engine is awesome) though I have to admit I'm squeamish about playing the enemy in an ongoing real conflict.
Rather than try to copy COD EA could have done something special and made a really epic single player campaign rather than go with the usual single player multi-player formula.
I'm glad this was just a rental for me.
