I love this game because its different. Reviewers seem to forget that this game is trying to be different, not another clone of an everyday FPS. I think the game is great BUT here is my list of things that need to be improved..

1. More maps - I don't think guns are that big of a deal, maybe more if they really feel like it, but some more levels definitely. 8 is not enough 6 months down the road.
2. AI tweaking? - This one I am on the fence about but it seems a lot of people complain about it. I personally always found the AI so far to be decent, at least medics..but maybe some tweaking to them?
3. FIX THE NETCODE/CONNCTION - Freeplay is not even playable on Xbox.. and Campaign suffers from lag once in a while.
4. An easier way to connect online - Either lobbies, or at least pre-game party ups for friends. I was chillin in the Campaign co-op screen thinking it was a lobby for a good 10 minutes yesterday before it hit me I need to press START and then invite a friend... this could be easier.

But really other than that.. this is the kind of game that we all knew WAS TAKING A HUGE RISK doing something different.. and you need to realize IT EXCELS AT THAT and really does do what it said it would do, it just has some minor bugs to fix out, and possibly more content to add.

One question I have though... The story - WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? I just beat the whole campaign on both sides and seriously.. I have no idea what happened haha. I can't get into the story.

this is probably the best review opinion thing I've heard, and I agree with it 100%

Try changing your freeplay settings to "advanced" or "competition" mode. For some reason my connection problems have largely gone away after making this change.

Hey Cheezzy most of the depth of the story is found in the audio logs... When I beat everything I was like "Que????" Then I started to listen to them and they are really filling out the story. to be honest I was disappointed until I figured that out/
