I thought just about most of the current batch of SP for FPS is around 5 hours as well?

Snipers are unbelievably annoying in MP, since it's like COD, on a bigger map. MP really feels like BFBC2. But animation is stiffer. Also, no bullet penetration, I think.

In SP, kinda ok. I thought the beginning of the game felt like Freedom Fighter and HalfLife2, except Freedom Fighter does it better, I think. Oh ya. AI for your squadmates can be unbelievably stupid. Won't even yell if there's a nade, no suppressive fire, won't cover your butt if an enemy's shooting up your back. And relies on the player to do most of the killing. Enemy AI is kinda disappointing also. It felt a lot like shooting zombies instead of going up against the military. No squad tactics.

Maybe there's a reason for not releasing a demo tongue.gif

But yeah, I feel underwhelmed when playing this game. Don't get why some reviews say that the SP is intense and gripping though. There are some minor neat moments, but it's nothing close to what you get from MW2 or even Black Ops. Plus one of the major character just keeps spewing foul language that it just makes him annoying and juvenile.

Tip of the day for SP: Whenever your teammates tells you to do X and they'll cover you, they're lying.

The netcode seems to be better than most games I played though. Server ping could be 250, but once I joined the game it goes around 60. Don't feel much lag.

SP finished in Hard Mode liao in my 2nd sitting. Still feel it's very standard fare. Only memorable chapters are the 3rd and the end of the 7th. But the story can't match the promising premise.

I'm really surprised the animation is so amateurish, especially when tossing the nade and knife kills. The sounds for the guns are above average, but don't have the feel of recoil/kick. So sometimes feel like it's a water gun. Could benefit with more gun selection. And no other option for pistols??? Bleh. No bullet penetration means aiming have to be precise. Very precise against camping snipers.

LMGs and SMGs are pretty useless in MP, imho.

There are some invisible hitbox issues when it comes to environment. So, sometimes it seems like you have a clear shot at that enemy, but actually he's behind cover. And since there's no bullet penetration here, snipers can literally sniper in between the wooden fence from the other end of the map and there's no way you can shoot back beyond the draw distance. Which reminds me. I need to set the draw distance higher tongue.gif

Meh. What does it mean by "Downloadable gun"? If you play shooters with me, you'll know I love shotties.
