Not to be a debbie downer, but the game is meh. The same CoD equation is there, but I don't really agree with some of the "progressive?" changes that have been made. :ugone2far:
First off, whoever thought it was a good idea to focus on character look customization should be fired. I do not give a shit if my avatar is a hispanic woman or an asian man or what the fuck ever. It changes NOTHING about the gameplay experience. And when I'm sprinting around the map shooting at anything that moves I don't really care, nor do I have the time to stop and say, "wow, that guy has the cool <insert stupid face/helmet/body>".
And having a separate rank for each character avatar is retarded, why can't they all share the same rank? (like in every other CoD..)
They removed modes such as HQ, hardpoint and CTF...why?
The levels are alright, but fairly forgettable. The only one that really stands out as unique is castle (they must be saving the other ones for map packs).
On the bright side, they did improve the graphics a little, most noticeably the lighting. And the slide and hurdle system makes moving around more fluid.
My fav part so far has been the space level in single player. It almost seems like the majority of the budget went to the cinematic single player experience and multi just got what was left over. But who knows..
