Bodycount's determination to take a new approach to the first-person shooter genre is commendable, but unfortunately it isn't an unqualified success. At times, a bit of raggedness creeps in - the way-finding pointer disappears when you need it the most, the checkpointing is often erratic.
There are periods when the gameplay varies slightly - for example, when hunting scavengers who have stolen crucial Intel from you - but in the end, it becomes a bit samey (which at least isn't a problem online, as that's what you expect). And it won't even appeal to all first-person shooter fans - only those who crave reducing their surroundings to rubble. Safe to say, it isn't the future of first-person shooters. But it is great fun.
