Ballistics Report
Pros
Graphics
The last hurrah of the Q3A engine? Maybe so, but it still looks damn fine. Damn. Fine.
Sound
Intense, explosive, violent, clear… a cacophony of the sounds of war. Subwoofer and/or good headphones highly recommended.
Gameplay
The action is so intense and yet so full of feel and clarity, it’s almost surreally realistic – if that makes any sense. No, it doesn’t. Try the demos if you don’t believe me.
Level design
A nice variety of squad levels, command levels and suicide charge Russian levels, with a few tricks like tank driving thrown into the mix, not to mention the ability to man the infamous 88mm Flak!
Multiplayer
World War II Counter-Strike, with amazing graphics. And great sound. Unless you’re sick of CS, you couldn’t want more.
Cons
Weapon balance
The Garand is the deadliest weapon in the game, and the BAR is too good as a pure rifle for its own good.
Multiplayer cheats
The similarities to CS, unfortunately, also extend to the domain of the cheaters.
