Good evolution from Modern Warfare as far as weapons and perks. Customising classes and custom controls is straight forward as the COD4 and WAW. Maps are well made and a good bit of thought went into the levels. Death animation in game is a bit cheesy with the rolling around after death.

There is a bug in the game that I've found if I try to set my ingame chat key to the same key as my sniper hold breath key then it either disables ingame chat or disables hold breath - which is irritating. Same with the sprint key and ingame chat key - they cancel one or the other.

Since the game is heavily depend on Steam for playability, if Steam drops or crashes, that's the end of gaming for the evening. Happens much too often. Again, IWnet was a really bad idea. Dedicate server would work out much better for this game.

Worth renting for a week or two but I wouldn't buy it.

Graphics Detailed. Look great on DX10.
Audio Good environment on 5.1 headphones.
Playability IWnet has to be the least reliable game match engine ever constructed. Trying to assemble groups of freinds for games is always near impossible. How many times have I seen AWAITING PARTY LEADER and they're right there!
Story I've only played online multiplayer and no really plot to speak of.
Overall OK game by itself, but IWnet has made me sit down trying to connect to a game and I end up walking away from the computer without having played due to frustration. PC gaming shouldn't have to be like that.
