It's great.

It's one of the best "feeling" FPS' I've ever played. At one point in the first level, I actually felt that I was being ambushed by intelligent enemies. Looks superb, sounds superb, plays superbly - I wub it.

Intelligent? pfft!
When I was on the first level, one of the enemies blew himself up with a grenade!

I must say, single player was a complete let down for me. However, the intensity of multiplayer more than made up for that
