Is it still worth playing?
The campaign of this 2011 first person shooter for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 follows two characters in various locations. They are Henry Blackburn, a United States Marine, and Dimitri Mayakovsky, a Spetsnaz GRU operative. It features combined arms battles in single-player, cooperative and multiplayer modes, with fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles on PC. The consoles have a lower player count, so their ground area is limited while the airspace stays the same. The maps include Paris, Tehran, New York City, Wake Island and Kuwait City, with urban streets, downtown areas and open landscapes suited to vehicle combat. DICE used an upgraded version of the Frostbite engine. A map for every kind of vehicle is still a draw for a squad.
