Sooo, anyone else played it yet? Just given it a quick hour and a half and I like it. The perks and streak rewards are pretty cool, especially Last Stand.
It's got the usual ranking system that's now a staple feature of online FPS war games (Rainbow Six: Vegas, Halo 3), and the further you rank up the more guns and features you unlock. New guns are unlocked as you rank up, but the attachments are unlocked as you complete certain challanges. The ones in the beta are as simple as killing a certain number of enemies or getting so many headshots with a specific weapon to get the new bit. For example, getting 25 kills with the standard M16 got me a red eye sight.
The action is faster than the previous games and it all seems a lot more frantic, especially on the Middle Eastern town map where you can't really sit still anywhere otherwise you'll get shot up.
The graphics are at the standard we'd expect for a game like this. Not the best looking on the platform, but there's a definite improvement over COD3.
