There is a free trial that will smack you in the face when you go to the dashboard
havent played the predessesor, but i played the demo. awesome game. of all the game ive so far looked at this one is the top contender especially beacause of the $15 price tag. for the price of a cod dlc you get a value better than bc2 vietnam.
first the cons. the game may not be that popular. and the snipers are very halo-like (1 hit headshot and 2 body i THINK) the sensativity and control scheme isnt too different but can be a little confusing at first. and the game is going to be confusing when you first literally drop in, but you can pick it up quick
now the pros.
1. dedcated server 16v16 multiplayer with a gow style bot system that fills in to keep teams balanced
2. a moh(?) style scorestreak reward system. the game awards you with points for any team action. use those points to airdrop in turrets and reinforcements
3. its a very strategy team based game with a good amount of squadwork
4. a halo style humiliation assassination when you use a knife. one of them you punch the guy in the face twice and then jam a blade in his forehead
5. havent tried it but swarm mode looks like gow horde mode
6. if anything its a 15$ campaign that does not look boring at all
7. CUSTOMIZATION. so much customization
8. there are those mission things that i havent figured out yet but im pretty sure that its like homefronts star system thingy.
9. not being popular isnt a bad thing. most of all less of the population will be leet pro cod snipes people and more of the people like us, leading for a more reliable team
10) every guy has a super sprint and jetpack to keep the large maps full of action
what'ya'say? im definately getting it, at least try the demo
