Let me start by saying that I was really pumped for this game. The campain, horde, and everything else was really fun to play. But then I went online. The lobby system is nice, but it is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to find a game quickly unless your party is full. Also, they made the weapons much too powerful now. The shotgun downs in only 2 shots, and it doesn't really matter how far away you are. Also there is a rediculous amount of lag online. Some games are so laggy that I have unlimited lancer bullets and can't pick up other weapons on the map. I really liked this game until I went online and played with my friends. Overall, I would recommend buying this but don't expect anything spectacular. Honestly, the first one was much better.
What's great about it: Graphics, Horde Mode, Campain
