Liking it after half hour or so's play. Gritty atmosphere, a cool opening level which pits you right in the middle of a believeable warzone, and the most abusive language you will hear this side of GTASA. Whilst far too early to form a proper opinion on this, it does at least have promise. Comparisons to Halo 2 are inevitable, especially since it was billed as a Halo killer in some departments pre-release, but whilst it may not be of that magnitude it could well stand up as a decent game in its own right. Controlwise its a little awkward for me at the moment, espectially sprinting which is achieved by pressing L3 inwards and moving forward, which isnt entirely accurate for me at least. Only being able to pick up one gun (Ive played too much Halo..) can be frustrating, for example I needed a sniper rifle that Id ditched back in the level to get past a snipers-alley type area and so had to backtrack. Still, at least thats more real than dual-weilding (!!). Enemy AI could be a problem, most of the ones Ive seen so far are just cannon fodder and some stand there waiting to be shot. Love the sniper rifle effect though and the weapons thus far in are impressive.
So far so good, will post more on this after extended play.
