Is there no 3rd person view like on the first one?
I've only played it for a short while so far and kept getting killed at the end of mission 2, I think I'll start that mission again and try not use up all the ammo from the good gun I start the mission with. I'll also have to tell the computer controlled idiots to only fire when I do as they forever give away my position when I try to sneak up on the enemy.

There is, click the right analogue stick (Xbox360) to change to it but even then the view is stuck to the tail of the vehicle. In the old game (PC) you hit * and you could look around independantly of direction of travel, even when you were on foot.
Tried the online this morning: First a quick coop game attacking an oil depot. It was fun and the people I was playing with didn't go rambo and actually followed the team leader's orders. First attempt was a massive failure as we opened up on the first patrol we came across resulting in additional units coming to their assistance and the resulting firefight left 3 out of 4 Spec Ops dead.
2nd attempt and we successfuly infiltrated the depot, planted charges on the generator. Then got massacred. Oh well.
Tried the team deathmatch a couple of times. Some serious lag issues the 1st time. Was playing as a sniper and shot the same person (A.I or other player I'm not sure) 6 times, saw clouds of claret but the guy kept running. Someone then went off and found a chopper to give us support from but crashed it into a river.
2nd time was much better and my bullets actually hit what I was aiming at, we were holed up as the PLA in the small village on the map 'Chokepoint' with my fireteam harrassing the US Marines in a nearby wood whilst the other members of our team went sneaky beaky and flanked them.
The controls are a bit clunky but I'm getting used to them. Would definately be easier with a keyboard.

LOL iSuck tbh.
The village seems to be breached from a different angle everytime I try it too.

Not got a car
Had a little go today, well 4 hours worth lol
A few things i really hate:
When looking down the scope, Most of the buildings are only half there.
Enemy soilders only have a couple of positions, Run, Crawl or stand, most of them jog on the spot walking into a wall.
Accuracy of the guns, found a .50 barret sniper so i thought i would sneak up and do some snipering, target only 100 metres aimed for body and it was way off. Soons they hear the gun they crawl about then its impossible.
Anyone else have it on PC

Yeah its alright ive done it now...one got killed but the other one finally followed me.
On mission 4, i was about 1/4 of the way through and suddenly realised that i only had 3 men with me. So i looked at the map to see where my 4th man had gone too and he was sprinting down to the bottom of the island on his own about 3 miles away towards about 20 enemies. So i watched for about 10 minutes as he carried on sprinting trying to call him back and then the enemies dots turned and shot him....man down. I was just like WTF?!? what a hero...

I'm on the mission where you have to take out the mortar crews along a hilltop. I was killed so loaded from a previous checkpoint, 3 seconds after I spawn 3 enemy soldiers spawn 5 metres behind my squad and kill everyone...
Respawn again and the enemy soldiers spawn with me, I kill them and 2 vanish immediately leaving the 3rd standing (dead) holding an invisible gun. :S

Right, This is s**t.
Kill a enemy soilder which looks the same as yours, and before you are able to get to him to rob him off his stuff, he disapare.
You team members disapare when wounded so cant find them to heal them.
Guns are so hard to get on target.
When you think you have killed the enemy about 20 pop up from under your boot.
last, The enemy have no movment, either crawl, run or stand, No walking about patroling ect.
Truley s**t and ive had enough

Got this this morning (for PC) and I'm really liking it so far. Except for the awful, awful control setup.
This clearly had to be designed for cross-platform, but ffs guys - what were you thinking? You can't walk/run while selecting another weapon? You can't mouse look around while driving a vehicle? You tell me that hold-down reload selects my grenade launcher. Erm, no it doesn't. To select and issue an airstrike, I'm actually holding down three keys at once? :S
Fcuking winds me up beyond belief. The amount of controls needed are nothing compared to some of the PC heavyweight games. Yet they can't even get this bit right because they have to worry about the 2-stick brigade.
I'd suggest Codemasters go and have a discussion with the boys at DICE. Learn how a proper FPS interface should work.

Isn't that how it is in real life? Swapping an M4 for a RPG while running would be a bit tricky wouldn't it?
I've been lucky so far I think...no real evidence of any glitches, no floating people, and solid AI that responds to my commands.
Great game IMO.

Trust me. I think if I was getting shot at in real life, I could swap to my next weapon without standing upright in the open and taking my time about it! The fact that you can't even move is just daft, imo.
I haven't seen any glitches either, though I'm a little confused as to why Codemasters with the likes of DIRT in its portfolio have allowed vehicles in this game to behave like waterbeds. I don't want cutting edge vehicle physics, but the jeeps behave like pinballs rather than proper vehicles.
So far so good though....

But that's the point!
In real life why would you even consider going for a 5 second/10 second/20 second weapon change when you're on a two-way range knowing you cannot return fire while you do it?
You wouldn't. You would put yourself behind cover and then change weapon/reload/whatever.
Wouldn't you?

So I would stand perfectly still to pull out a pistol or a combat knife? If the game 'allows' you to reload while walking and even sprinting - surely that's even more difficult than slinging your rifle over your shoulder (or simply even dropping it?) and withdrawing your sidearm?
It just seems daft why they put that into the game yet allow things like the sprint-reload to still work. I'd actually thought that the game had crashed at first until I realised I could still look around.

Pretty sure an elite troop would have his change to secondary weapon, pretty well drilled. Only really used in CQ though anyway, if you were switching to a RPG etc from assault rifle, this would normally be done in partial or full cover i would imagine.
But it doesnt take long to switch from a slung primary, to a holstered secondary, in real life anyway, about 50 seconds in:

I was considering buying this, but so many conflicting opinions. It would be on 360 if i did purchase.
