I liked this game. I tried to just run into combat at first, but died a few times. Then i was more careful, using my binoculars more. I got a few kills then died. Eventually i could hold my own against enemy teams. I got the platinum trophy for this game eventually, though it took a LONG time. The AI could use some improvements, both friendly and enemy. The sniping is excellent, but only has a small part in the game. It is much more realistic than CoD or Battlefield, but i can understand some people wont agree. This is a game that you have to think to play, its not all reflexes and reaction time. There are airstrikes, tanks, helicopters, and humvees. All the vehicles and controls take time to get used to, but you have a lot of options to choose from, especially with your squad orders. Each mission must be carefully analyzed, landscape surveyed, plans made, and orders executed. The graphics are not as smooth as many games, but it is open world to a degree. You can flank the enemy with a silenced rifle, or use a few missiles to destroy buildings, then attack head on. This is the type of game that you would invest a few hours into each level. CoD and BFBC2 are more walk in a straight line and complete the story kind of games, with only a couple difficult sections that you might get stuck on.
The multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired. You do get two AI team mates that you can order around, but they aren't always the smartest soldiers. There arent enough levels to really have a variety. no building to building combat, no town or city levels. no airstrikes, no objectives. They could have had many new game types but instead opted for only two or three different levels and gametypes.
Co-op is awesome. it's what this game was made for.
