Pros

Multiplayer games.
Flexible, yet focused; encourages a variety of weapons and allows different approaches to objectives.

Scale.
Large wide-open outdoor areas with buildings, water, and foliage.

Cons

Stealth.
The mechanics, which are inconsistent, contrived, and frustrating, don’t make enough sense to be gratifying.

Enemy AI.
The only real challenge is the uncanny accuracy that makes firefights an exercise in futility.

Single player missions.
Each mission is a laundry list of objectives that feel more like a guided field trip than a mission.

Multiplayer support.
Limited to sixteen players, but hard to find even that many on the servers.
