    Too many silencers!! Ask I guy serving in the military if have the foe he encounters has silenced weapons...the lags there, dont let people kid u..u can see the frame rate slow down. Game does improve some things from S2. The vehicles are more fun than I thouguht. But as a loyal Socomer I actually played the Battlefield 2 demo and liked it better!

    The graphics are horrible. They seem to be below socom 2. The command interface sucks. And the AI is pretty stupid. Conflict Global terror is better.

    Despite liking the first one, and becomming addicted to the second one, this third one never actually clicked with me. The maps were too big, the load system was a pain in the ass, there were too many people in one game, and it was basically more of the same thing, but worse.

    My favorite online game for the PlayStation 2 thus far. It has an excellent mix of the best elements from "Battlefield" and "Rainbow Six," both of which are games I love. The singleplayer is pretty good this time around as well.

    If you're wondering if it's worth picking up, consider yourself warned if you're a newcomer -- it's a tough nut to crack. If you've been a long-time fan, close this browser window and head to the store.

    The single-player campaign is the best yet in the series.
