About as fun as watching glue dry.

Let me put this for hte record. I got this game fully knowing that it wasn't going to be the MW2 "all teh kidz are playin". That is why it appealed to me. But, after you watch the totally epic intro film, you realize, that you made a mistake. The game is supposed to be realistic. Problem is, it took this idea too far. The gameplay is boring, and you find your self walking with your brain-dead A.I most of the time. In the attempt to cerate a realistic war, it made it so real that it was extremely BORING to play. I can't tell you how many times I found my nodding off to sleep. The guns all have the right feel, but this game is full of cheap deaths. One minute you are fine and dandy, the next, you are on the ground bleeding out. The snipers in this game have the ability to hit you from across the level apparently. The gunplay sucks, as it takes FOREVER to reload, and don't even bother throwing a grenade, as it will take about 5-6 just to get the thing in your hands. On top of this, the graphics are laughable at best, as everything looks good till you get close to it. The textures are all ugly, making a lovely palette of grey, brown, and puke. This game came out at the wrong time. In the days when people love to run around with akimbo 1887's, and hail-mary grenades right to your feet, this game has no place in the FPS market. It is full of bugs, the A.I is brain-dead or the next Lee Harvey Oswald, and the gameplay is as much fun as counting the bubbles in a bar of soap. Avoid this game at all costs. Biggest waste of $40 I have spent.
