With a good update to the Quake 3 engine, and a very focused effort on gameplay, this game is a must have for your collection. The sound is an intregal part of the experience. What I like in the single player is the fact you really have to play. I mean, keep your wits about you. The fact that you can die from any direction, any moment, from anything is what real combat was like (yes I'm an old fart). The AI on both side make you totally forget it's a computer. For the multiplayer, it's just the right combination of damage. Not Rouge Spear/Rainbow one shot kill, but you're not a superman either. Then there the "kill cam", veiwing your death through the eyes of the reaper taking place 5 sec. before your death. Others may have thought of the concept, but Infinity gets the credit for putting it to use. Love it! Maps in both Single and Multi are good. Single is somewhat linear, but make use of the a lot of direction. Multi-maps, from what I've seen are large, and provide good flow of action. Last but not least, almost bug free on release. I did have the sound issue on multi mode using EAX, as the ReadMe File warned. But no crashes or glitches. Thanks Infinity and Activision. A WWII action game that hits the mark right between the eyes!
