Well, I am not getting paid to help promote their game, that's for sure, but it's been a fun 5.9 hours so far. As far as lukewarm receptions go, I believe that when many people don't see the IW, Treyarch, or Dice emblem on a game, they automatically go into the "this is gonna be mediocre" mode. I didn't play the singleplayer, nor do I care to, but the multi is good clean fun. As far as the big time reviewers go, I liken them to snobby automotive reviewers, usually. Maybe Kaos didn't give them a nice weekend at a fancy California resort equipped with a full body massage and a happy ending?

Me, I'm waiting for more community reviews on the MP, it appears right now people are really enjoying it so I'm tempted to get it but I'll wait a bit.

They probably reviewed consol version and concentrated on SP only.I have few major problems.The game runs around 30 FPS on med and high settings no change in FPS.I have I7 870 and 460 GTX 4 GB RAM. Server browser just doesn't work.When I refresh servers game just crashes.I can't join any MP servers from browser cos I can't highlight them.My only option is to join quick match but that puts me into a emty server %50 of times.Gameplay is fun but when the game runs like a dog and not even ingame AA settings don't work for me it just spoils the fun.

Easy connect, No dreaded Connection Interrupted,, no stuttering, fluttering, just jump in the game, and go at it.

The sheer vastness of the maps is jarring in the beginning, you can play with 32 people and it goes as smooth as silk. Technically lt works fine, there might be a few bugs, 4 sure, but it is very playable, and enjoyable.
I played on a server which had the fonts reduced to the point where they did not intrude on the play.
The gfx are good but not BF3- avatar movement fluid, Hit reg is tight as much as i have seen.

Played for 3 hrs and enjoyed it.

Waiting for other comments to get to know the game better.

Well done Kaos

i'd like to see some multiplayer only reviews , the stocks gone down because the single player is'nt quite what people expected also some people would have bought shares thinking it could be the new Cod or bf.

You mean 5% less than yesterday (-30%)? Or they are back up to just a 5% loss (-5%)?
