    Nowhere near the polish it should have after being put off from it's original release date of last October 26th to April 5th of this year. It has some decent features, and the graphics and gameplay look like they could have out Rainbowed the R6 games with some more effort, but once you get a few missions in you'll be able to tell that they just got lazy and hoped the Marine name Nowhere near the polish it should have after being put off from it's original release date of last October 26th to April 5th of this year. It has some decent features, and the graphics and gameplay look like they could have out Rainbowed the R6 games with some more effort, but once you get a few missions in you'll be able to tell that they just got lazy and hoped the Marine name would sell it. I don't understand why a game of this craptitude was put off for another 7 months if it still plays like this. It makes me wonder how bad it was last Fall if it plays like this after an extra half year of tweaking. Your teamates do show more promise than the bone-headed squad A.I. in the R6 games, but they get lazy real fast in the field. Should've either been tweaked for about another year or it should have been scrapped altogether. I waited on this half-assed garbage to arrive at my door like an old slutty ex-girlfriend coming back for a quick booty call, basically another familiar feeling Full Spectrum Warrior type of experience if you will, but like usually when that time finally comes, you start to remember why you got bored with her dirty a** in the first place.… Expand

    Not bad, Its a combo of Counter Strike, meets Rainbow Six. Graphics are good, gameplay is a little glitchy. One game I played was 2 vs 6 and for some reason the 2players on one team could not be killed. But that was only one game. Weapons are a few. Controlls are tight. Finally, its the same price as a DVD, how can you go wrong?

    A thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding game, providing a military alternative to Rainbow Six and immersing the player in an urban combat environment like few games can.

    Gets some things right, but if the poor AI and numerous glitches were ironed out then it could have been one of the finest tours of duty around. As it stands, it's an excellent multiplayer game that just can't compete with some of its rivals.

    Despite the intervention of the US Marines, there are some glaring flaws, which have somehow been overlooked.
