Aha, Gameplay, Aye there’s the rub:

Gameplay is always supposed to be the infallible area, if it is bad, you can ignore the rest. The good news is we are spared from the Bad Gameplay demon this time, although the “not quite perfect” monster is still nearby.

Ok so what we have here is a FPS game with a difference. For starters you can die in one shot, then again so can the enemy, not what Quake heads are used too. Another aspect is that the missions do not involve running around killing everything that moves, do that and you risk being reprimanded. Also the missions have various tasks that need to be fulfilled, they are not the usual diet of “find Blue key for Blue door” stuff, the missions in this vary from kill all terrorists to assassinate the leader to rescue the hostages etc. All this adds up to a fun experience, however, the A.I., while adequate, is far from excellent.
