This game takes me back to the old first person shooter classics; It's like Quake and Unreal Tournament with better graphics and customisation. The gameplay is quick and the objectives are numerous, multiplayer is very good mainly because of the skill required. Unlike other first person shooters you have access to all the weapons from the Command Posts, no individual weapon will gain you any particular advantage so it's a case of what you prefer to use when shooting down your enemies. One thing that was disappointing is the single player campaign; This seems to be more training than an actual storyline. Each campaign is very short, I finished the Security campaign in less than an hour (90 minutes on hard). The AI seems to want to run around and do whatever is nearest rather than fulfill it's objectives, which given you're always outnumbered puts a lot of pressure on you. There is a mission in which you have to stop the terrorists blowing up 2 things then hacking something, you can complete the mission stopping them blowing up the first thing but on hard I was completely overrun and it took 3 attempts to complete it. This game wasn't designed as a single player so I can forgive the mediocrisy of the campaign but the multiplayer is immense and I highly recommend you give this game a try.
