\The biggest thing I love about this game is the draw distance. If you play any game and say, "Oh look at how beautiful those fogs covering up the distance are...", well, you won't be seeing much of that here.
Sniping is brought up to a new level with this game. Any other game, long distance is about 100 meters. This...is 10 times that distance. Using your binoculars aren't novelty item. You don't have to squint to see if what you're seeing through your sniping scope is an enemy or just a graphical glitchy-blob. Non of that. You zoom in, you can clearly see your enemies from far, faaaar away. It's a lovely feeling to be standing in one island and snipe someone on the other island a kilometer away, and watch him fall from the bridge he was walking across and into the water. Sweet.
But the game's not all about outdoors. There's plenty of actions inside bunkers, warehouses, and cave systems. The graphic engine does all of them very nicely, and without any of them annoying load times between the transition that you might see on lesser engines. Oh, and there's the complementary rag doll physics that's pretty much a requirement for any self respecting FPS game.
The AI doesn't leave much of an impression. Sometimes they're tough (unfairly so...they have perfect accuracy while traveling in a helicopter or in a boat), and other times they leave you wondering why they went right past you without shooting you. Suffice to say they do their job.
The gripes.
Driving - There's no emergency brake. No, correction...there no brake at all. You go forward and backward and...that's it. In between is what seems to be neutral gear, because when you're on a slope...your car rolls down. I've lost so many bugees and humvees that way. Would it be too much of a hassle for the car maker to install brakes?!
Documentation - you get this 12 page flip book that's inside the CD CASE. Nothing else. Was there an online documentation? Don't know, don't care. I feel a good manual is a MUST in any game.
That's it. Lots of pluses, few minor gripes.
