Really fun game!:
The graphics are awsome! Love calling air strikes..Lots of action, all my friends like it too!
Duty Calls:
When this game came out it was not all that great. However the patch fixed all of my biggest complaints. No more people getting under maps and the weapons are more accurate. Still some issues need fixing, but overall a solid fun shooter.
My husband loves it:
I bought this game for my husband for Christmas...he started playing it a couple of nights ago and I don't think he has gotten much sleep...he can't seem to put the controller down. I assume that means it is a great game !
