hmmmm...

4 hours of game play on hard difficulty... is it worth the wait and the cost? I think not.

I'll start with the "Not so picky parts"

Not a bad story line.. though very short.

About half way through I was so bored with shooting the "OpFor" guys that were charging the Ranger position I started shooting my own guys just so they could berate me shooting them. These types of "levels" need to be weeded out of all types of games, to me it reads that the devs didn't have enough to keep the game going or the writers had a brain fart and let their kids write that portion of the game.

Knife scenes - umm I would have expected something that was more fluid in the transition, to me it seemed that again someone let their kids work on it. At one point I could have sworn the sound was at least 1 sec ahead of the actual kill scene. I heard the guy die before I saw my knife stab him in the throat.

AI reactions (Both OpFor and Allied) - all waiting for me to do something instead of at least trying to take on the opposition. I read some where that they were stupid and thought that that was reaching for it. How long have these games been around now and they are still this way?

Sniping with the Barrett felt kind of interesting. I'll leave it at this - not bad although I think they should have a mild blast effect for the shooter and spotter. However, why am I hearing the impact when the targets are 1 km + away? I guess it adds to something.

Spray and prey still works in this game as well. Not much they can do to get away from it. Although I did appreciate the tracers to some extent.

I found glitches in the texturing,

At one point I got up high on a ridge and shot the "OpFor" guys just standing there waiting for a trigger event to do something.

You can't always run when you want to, again you have to stay within the boundaries of the game. Sure I can see and agree to some extent but lets make it not so obvious.

Anyway, I haven't tried Multiplayer yet and I think I may even try to play the game again but this time I'm going to try and do it in 3 hours instead.

Oh yeah, the final cut scene didn't even work. It cut straight out to the end credits.

I am glad that I didn't expect much from this franchise as I wasn't disappointed. MOH hasn't changed much since I stopped playing it after I was let down on their first one... what was it called again?

Did I have fun with it? Sure a little bit, I enjoyed all the sniping and even the little time with the Apache Gunship was ok. Some of the work on the buildings and such were ok, the town (Which seems that you go back to it about 4 times or so) wasn't all that bad with the compounds and waddies and such.

Soooo, was it better then Modern Warfail 2? I think they both should have a time out for trying to be something they aren't.

Have fun with it consolers I'm sure some on you will be able to do it in 4 1/2 hours. ;) j/k

Cheers

I still like a good SP experience, and 4-5 hours doesn't cut it for me. I wont play it for MP as I still play BFBC2.

For now, it looks like I'll be sticking with COD4 and BFBC2 for MP.

I think Fallout: New Vegas will be the next SP experience! Only just finished Fallout3 GOTY the other day...163hours...I like to walk...what can I say. I enjoy my openended shooters.

i like some of the detailed that went into the level design. overall it seems like an ok game. never played any of their previous title but this one didnt seem to get my attention.

This alone sounds VERY bad. I should be getting my copy anytime now, i'll give the SP a bash and try MP for the third time now (the first 2 beta were a thumb down for me). Thanks for the review!
