Ho-hum single player experience; addictive multiplayer

So like everyone else I will compare this game to the MW games. While I feel the story/plot is much easier to follow in Bad Co. 2 the gameplay itself is not as fun, epic or cinematic as the MWs. In fact, the first few levels bored me to the point I almost gave up on the campaign, then came the sniping, that was fun. The graphics are beautiful and I love the little touches such as the butterflies and parrots in the jungle, wish there was more of this sort of thing.
Sound is real nice, love the War Tapes option, gun shots echo perfectly on my surround sound system.
On to multiplayer. Not alot of map choices, and I hear not alot of gameplay choices but I just like the Rush mode from the demo so I am easily pleased here. My main gripe is the lack of maps. DICE must have known better because honestly, I for one would be perfectly content never buying this game and just playing the same arctic map on the demo over and over. I bet that is why they took down the demo, to get people to buy the game. Sorry but no dice DICE, rental for me then on to newer things, played enough of the demo to satisfy my squad based bloodlust; I think I may have over did it actually. Also, why exactly did we unlock all that stuff in the demo? It doesn't transfer over to the real game, well, I still have my dogtags.
