i was upset shortly after playing the game when i realised it was just another title that Codemasters hyped up and didn't follow through with. usually i won't pre order games but this one i did only to find that it was rushed and possibly not even tested thouroughly, i mean how could they have really tested the game and still have simple bugs like when you start with everyone in the deuce and a half transport truck (on multiplayer) and take off with everyones rifles being left floating in the air? then your rifle disappears and your left with your hand kinda like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. i gave the game a flat 7.0 simply because it COULD be a great game if they employ this patch their talking about and it actually works, but considering the way the game is now i am not sure they even have the ability or know how to fix it with a patch. i will not be purchasing another title from Codemasters on the day it releases because the last 2 i have pre ordered (this one and FUEL) have not been worth the price paid and have had too many problems. i will wait until the price drops and maybe by then they will have them functional. i love the overall design of the game and especially the ballistic system, don't remember the mission name but it was the one where you had to take out the officer in the radio station with an airstrike while he was inside. i sat on the mountain behind a rock with the rangefinder and .50 cal sniper rifle and got several kills from 800+ meters although it was hard to judge where to line the crosshair because it didn't go that high, within 600 meters its one shot one kill, the night ops scopes could use the option to turn on fully illuminated crosshairs so you could see the distance threads better but thats mainly on the above mission.
sure hope the patch comes soon and is effective on the major issues but i think its gonna take a few patches and community feedback to get it fully worked out.
This game was a disappointing experience to me as well. I wouldn't give it a 7.00 though i would give it a 4.50. or maybe 5.00 but my ratings are harsh
