This game is beautifully styled, wish they would have invested some of that in the gameplay mechanisms. It's a difficult game just for the sake of being difficult, without offering any type of incentives during play to increase your characters ability. You just have to retry over and over and over again so it gets boring quick. Some of the gameplay is just too crude to be a modern game, characters are SO SLOW and consistently unresponsive to button commands and do not interact consistently with other objects in the field of play including enemies. There is no indicators during play to clue you in to how far along you are or at what level your opponent is at which makes it annoying to play. The novelty of this game wears off in about a week or two, I'm really glad I spent less than $15 on it, it's not worth much more than that. It's akin to those arcades that are difficult just so you'll keep pumping coins into them. Not impressed.

Multi-player would be fun if it worked. I have very fast internet and it will have trouble keeping the scene loaded. Head shots do nothing anymore. Characters sometimes won't load into your view until you have been killed by them, so it's like you got randomly killed by no one. The blue dots above your teams heads don't always load right away so you don't know whose in your team. And the missile launcher is completely useless, doesn't work half the time. When it works it's ok, but the constant problems and the very toxic racist players you encounter at least once a session don't really make it worth it to play anymore. The storyline is OK though.

I've just started playing this a month or so ago. Nothing special or new from previous Call Of Duty games that I can tell. Only difference is I've spent half my time waiting for massive files to download and install about once a week or so instead of actually playing the game. I have super fast internet as well and have had to buy an additional drive for this game alone. Not impressed. Edit: I've played this game a bit now and the player IDs that tell you whether someone is on your team are severely delayed. I can be dead and gone and the player ID will never show. I've also noticed on occasion I can shoot someone point blank and out doesn't phase them. First person shooter UX isn't a mystery when other games do it well. Game is kind of trash. Time to sell it. Wish I could give zero stars
