Many people typically write this game off because of it's complete lack of a single player. I purchased this game not too long after it was released and was surprised by what it did have to offer, rather than what it was never intended to.

I went into this game with no prior knowledge of anything related to the game. When I first tried online, I found that anyone who said that nobody played this game was horribly mistaken. It took me little to no time to get into a match that I enjoyed.

Next, the tactical depth of this game is greater than one would expect. With the many different weapons, magic abilities, and tech items to buy, the combinations you can put together allow you to play whatever way you wish. There is something for everyone.

Th amount of criticism this game gets when held in comparison to the tabletop RPG is biased. This game works fine the way it is. Look at other games with similar set-ups: Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike?

The only issues I had with this game were the music and off AI skill levels. The music really didn't seem to fit the FPS setting to me. Also, the skill level of the Ai seemed a bit unbalanced and could do with some tweaking.

All in all, this game is definitely worth playing, even worth owning for FPS fans. This game provides a deeply immersive tactical style of game-play. The online community is another selling point. Rather than the immature loud kids you find on Call of Duty and Halo, you find a much more friendly and mature fanbase.
