I wont lie, I bought this game just for online play. However it is still a great game. There are better game modes, more game modes, and more ways to challenge yourself. To unlock weapons you must actually obtain achievements, and as you rank up, the only unlockables you get for ranking up now are clothing or camouflage. There are more weapons, and better weapons in some cases, like the 500 tactical shotgun for example. For the people who want to challenge themselves in the game, there is now the ability to turn your radar on and off in the online play. On the bad side though, the maps were supposed to be smaller, and the maps if anything got larger in height and smaller in width. Making navigation a confusing thing. And the contrast between light and dark in the game is too much, in the stairwells on certain maps you must walk around with thermal or night vision on just to make our way through the stairwell. You can adjust the brightness and such for just the game, even online, but its a sensitive adjustment.
What's great about it: More Options for Multiplayer
What's not so great: Maps arent what they said they would be.
