• Fun setpieces; good variety
  
• Feel like a one man army. Thought older CoDs wouldn't feel like this but I guess that's not true. Still having fun though
  
• Cutscenes that give history lessons and context are more interesting than following the characters themselves. I'm not a history guy but it's very neat
  
• They always give you smokes, and they are always extremely useful. Often times in other CoD games your secondary grenades are more for show and not very good.
  
• The Tiger is by far the best campaign mission. It's so effortlessly dynamic, AI allies actually respond to your movements, you have to watch for flanks, etc. It feels like a real push trying to stomp the Germans out, and it's great.
  
• Addition of hidden areas that have weapons and ammo is a great idea. Rewards players for checking all their options.

• Repetitive mission types that occur in different settings. Most of the time it's not bad, but sometimes you could swap the missions and it'd be indistinguishable
  
• Assault on Matmata features an ambush section that is awful and not playtested. Same for the end where the airplanes come in: you have to clear everyone out otherwise there will be some still firing at you. Your team won't do a good job actually killing them so you have to get off real quick to shoot and then get back on to take down planes before they bomb the area killing you.
  
• Some of the objectives are absurd. Like "Push an enemy tank essentially by yourself across an open field and plant explosives on it". This is the final objective of the final mission of "The Brigade Box". It's absolute hell trying to get over to that tank. Didn't take me too long but still.
  
• Why can my allies throw grenades back but I can't?
  
• Wish there was more weapon variety. I guess it's period-accurate but I feel like they sacrificed a lot of period accuracy already in order to make the game fun. Just give me more guns to play around with
  
• Your AI teammates are stupid; but for the most part, so are the enemy.
  
• Grenade spam from enemies can be a real issue. It's crazy that they don't limit these enemies to like 6 grenades so they cant just hold you in a corner. This only happened two or three times.
  
• Pushing some of these houses where enemies set up a crossfire is REALLY annoying. Even nading them out doesn't always work, and your team won't push with you.

Apparently the multiplayer is alive and well, but I wasn't able to get it to work, even with Steam guides.

Also, if you're a masochist looking to get your rocks off, unbind your G and 4 keys for an extra challenge. No smokes or grenades allowed. Good luck.



Is worth more like $5. Don't buy if its above $10.
