I bought this game about 2 months ago and after seeing soooo many complaints of how bad the game is, I decided to put in my input. I think this game is incredibly immersive and you feel like your in the battle for real. Battles in this game are very hard and you, most of the time, fight from long distances(like maybe half-mile to mile). Another great part of campaign is the enemy intelligence. They use tactics to defeat your squad of soldiers and, in my time of playing, are very difficult to defeat. I have had this game for 2 months and am only on mission 3, but i do play hardcore mode. Each mission is very long and takes up a huge portion of the landmass. Talking about the landmass, the size of the game world is 220 KM(squared) according to the back of the case. Its huge and sometimes you can forget the mission completely and explore it and find enemy's camp now and then. Back to missions, I have died many many many times on each mission, but each time I still have as much fun as the last.

Now since your probably tired of me blabbing on about the good things, ill say some of the bad. There is really only one thing bad about this game that keeps me from rating it a 9.5 or possibly a 10. On online MULTIPLAYER (not co-op, online co-op is AWSOME) there can only be 8 ACTUAL players in a game room. Each ACTUAL player can be assigned to A.I. squads and take control over them. This makes the game allitle less immersive online since not all the enemy's actually have a human playing them. Other than this, there isnt really anything else bad about it.

Finnaly.... SCORES!!!! WEEEEEEW
Graphics : 8.5/10
The graphics are pretty good, not amazing. Guns look great, the sky looks amazing, but people look meh.

Gameplay : 10/10
This alone is the BEST part of the game. Top-notch immersion, no other game for ps3 like it.

Story : 0/10
If your looking for a story there isn't one here, but that doesn't matter since the game is based on military missions.

Online : 8/10
Not much people play online. You might find around 2-10 people online from least to greatest. Even if there were people, multiplayer is fun but not great. Online CO-OP however is AMAZING. It brings everything the campaign did right and gives you a squad of actual players.
****I don't include how much people play online to this score

There ya go. I recommend this game to hardcore fps players. Cod players might wanna look somewhere else unless they want to try some hardcore shooting for once.
