Sure the graphics are not killzone quality, and COd barely beats in the graphics departments. "But" I don't see a game yet where the battlefields are that huge with that many players on a console.
Seriously, there is air strikes, Jet strafing runs, Armored troop Carriers blasting, artillery bombardment, poisonous gas shelling, and troops parachuting from the sky...
All happening at once. Reminds me of The Flight of the Valkyries scene from Apocalypse Now.
The beginners difficulty curve for the game is very severe and you will most likely die alot more than you kill. The game has everything going for it, and I have had only 1 lag complaint. The community so far has been great and alot of Socom, Resistance 2 and Cod4 vets are playing.
.
The unlocking system is 10 times more rewarding than Cod4/5/6 and the bonus system keeps the game balanced. The game is more for the hard core team work centric people, due to the weapon damage being extremely high ( 2-3 direct shots) and rambo-centric players will just keep dieing. Rocket launchers are even balanced since it takes a while to reload with limited ammo.
If you enjoyed the killzone 2/ team fortress 2 / or any other class based shooter this is definitely for you. And once you become a veteran of the game and earn leadership points, you have the hand of god with air strikes etc. Also the community has helped alot of new players("follow me if you want to live"), in which the clan system/party is excellent as well (works just like Cod party system). Its all about team work and working towards a series of objectives. Team Death match is dated.
Honestly I am going to buy Cod6 and still play the beta. Once late January comes around, Cod6 will be sold for MAG.
