Tmy view on the game
well, 1stid like to say that iv currently sunk about 24 hrs into this and have so far found itto be a very rewarding and enjoyable game to play
iv been playin it on single player so far as the soldier class which specialses in sombat rifles and shotguns and has a special move where u drop a turret which can shoot the enemies and also revive health and armour for a small period of time, its a very useful special and customising it makesit hurt the enemies in the way u want by choosing an elemental power upgrades, which are found throughout the game which add things like fire, electricity, corrosive orblast elements,each element hurts enemies more or less depending on the enemyclass and armour, adding some nice tactical choices to be made when goin into a big battle
the controls feel every similar to COD, this can only be a good thing. Sprint, melee and crouch are all where u want them to be so it takes no adjustment imo
so far for me the game has been all about looting, either exploring on your own if your feeling brave (bumping into a much high level enemy when you cant take em on leads to a sore rusty donut) or you can progress thru the many missions and side missions that pop up on the way. iv been choosing to gather as many side missions as possible, go the area, and do as many as i can at once (you can have as many missions on the go as you can handle) and doing the plot missions when i have no other choice.
the weapons in this game can only be described as epic, there is SO many guns before you know it you will be tchoosing from shotguns which shoot rockets and alien assult rifles, just awesome stuff here and seemingly randomly generated as you will rarley see the same piece twice
the characters in the game are ok, but its the lil robots called claptraps which make i awesome, there helpless yelps and whines when there hurt and need fixing or just when there dickin about usually makes me laff, but then im rather lame
over all id recommend this to anyone who is after a deep fps in the call of duty blasty blasty sanse to while away the hours till MW2 arrives
no VATS tho
