When sound make it better
This game is the best tactical shooter i've ever played when it comes to how close to reality a game can be. But, the slow pace of this game make it harder and a lot more frustrating than your normal tactical shooter. Gameplay:
Like i said, this game is way too slow which make it tougher and less enjoyable. The gun battles are intense and the perfect use of sound during those gun fights made me felt like i was actually there, right in the line of fire. When it comes to A.I., enemies are pretty stupid but IMO with the difficulty that hard, its better like this. When it comes to your teammates, they were actually the dumbest ones but a patch came and i found that it really helped my teamates not getting killed by walking in front of me while shooting or charging in front of a .50 cal. Still, there were few moments of stupidity for ex: where i had to physically push them because they had corned themselves between walls or fences etc. Graphics:
I cant really judged this part cause i could'nt get the max out of this game since my computer was not good enough. I could'nt play with better texture than medium with no HDR and at 1280 X 1024. But overall, the graphics were pretty amazing, specially the explosions. The only problem is that there were not much variety, you're always in cities with buildings that all look the same and are all the same colors.
Sound:
This is where the game gets its points. The sound effects are the best you can get from a fps. There's a sound for every thing that a bullet hit. They zip near your head, when they hit a tire you clearly hear the pffff sound if its near you, if it hit a car, a wall, wood there's always a particular sound. What give the sound a more real-life-like feeling is its depth. For ex: when you're covered by a car and the tire get popped, its a lot louder than when the car's tire get popped 30 feet from you even though you can still hear it. Overall, a solid game for everyone who wants to get the best near real life tactical shooting experience but with some drawbacks. Definitively not a game for run and gun fans and for those who got no patience. My system:
