Pros
-VERY realistic (from the commands to the bullet drop)
-Long Levels (about 45-1hr per lvl, 10 lvls)
-4 player co-op is very fun!
-customize weapons and classes(about 5 primary and secondary gun choices per class)
-beautiful graphics
-great music(mostly rock and metel)
-good control response, but it does have some getting used to
-extra mission modes all co-op(horde mode, protect convoy mode, kill all enimies mode, ect)
-achievements are pretty easy to get
-challenging AI (they will take cover if they have it near them, or drop to the ground)
-very little loading times

Cons
-not much replayability once your classes are lvled up to 20
-solo play is much harder since your AI tends to rely on you constantly
-sometimes you CAN fail objectives by just not being at the right place in online multiplayer (which means pick up groups CAN screw up you fun VERY easily)
-no cover system, you basically crouch behind stuff and pray you dont get shot
-Only 2 maps in multiplayer and no vs mode.

final thought, this game is NOT for those who play Halo, BC, or CoD...why? Because this is all based on REAL motion. CoD can let you take several shots before you go down...here it's 1 hit (sometimes 2), just like in real life. Snipers WILL kill you from 300 meters if you dont take cover! This game was lots of fun with 2 or more players, and the more players, the more fun! This is about tactics and co-operation. It's something different, and that makes it worth wild. I would like to see more content and some new locations (since this game all takes place in one huge area). If you dont like the game, then this game type isn't for you, BUT the game itself...great!

It requires patience and tactical know how. Very realistic, very exciting, and an excellent story.

THIS DOES HAVE SOME CUSSING IN IT
+4 -4

+1 The Squad commands work well.
supress, hold fire, advance, flank, rush, follow, guard-person,secure building, defend bulding, or vehicle.
There is air su
When you get hit you have to patch youself up, if you can't move you have to call for a squadmember...
+2You dont die too fast from bleeding out which is a bonus..
+3You get to call in airsupport from time to time
+4You can walk on cliffs and pop people from above Big Bonus
First game ive seen that lets you wander and creep
somtimes you'll run into sorry i can't do that or "are you crazy" from your squadmembers on some terrain in the game but not a whole lot.

I have 4 negatives which are
#1-bad voice acting...
#2 you have to replay levels over and over to get your classes up
and the CPU doesnt aquire XP on your team, so if you want a sniper on your team with a silencer on his rifle u have to play as a sniper to level 16 which is alot of playin the same boards over and over, so every mission you can only really work on 1 class at XP....
#3 I couldn't even see enemies at long range to snipe them off....
it seems to be a problem in most games, very annoying....
#4 Great music in transport when it decides to play, good normal metal and some hiphop.
the AI is pretty challenging on normal, i didnt even try it on hard.

i played it for 2 days, it wasnt horrible
im givin this a 7 out of 10
