I've been playing this for the last week or two and it's freaking great. Far superior gameplay-wise to Call Of Duty 4 or most of the other shooters recently.
It is a game of cunning and finesse and not just tossing random lead all over the place. You are rewarded (not literally) for having a distinct plan to your actions and actually sticking by your teamates.
There is a virtual well of customizations options for both your character and the gear you play each round with. You can also adjust skills in certain areas to compliment your play style and choice of weapons.
One of this games greatest strengths comes in a entirely new (to me at least) game mode called "Sneak". In Sneak one random player is chosen to play as Solid Snake (the hero from the Metal Gear franchise) while the other players are split into two teams who battle eachother. Snake's mission is to collect dog tags from players on either team without killing them. This means he uses tazers and knock-out darts in addition to his standard lethal weapons (which he can also use, but will not get any points/tags) to take down players and collect their tags. Snake wears an active camo suit which mimics patterns and colors around him like a chameleon making him invisible to the other players when he is in his "hide" mode. With these tools at his disposal Snake is an extremely powerful single-player and is balanced very well to be literall a one-man-army on the battefield. While the two teams (red and blue) are going at it killing eachother the Snake player creeps around in the shadows and takes people out, it's freaking awesome.
The graphics are nice, the sound is good, and the gameplay is great. If you don't have a PS3 you should get one so you can play the full-version this summer.
