Yeah, I played the demo.

I though it was ok,
I like the animations on the AI Deaths like you said "bloody"... but apart from that you could juggle the enemy by emptying an entire clip on them and watch them flop about.

I think the bodies disappeared though... could you confirm that?

How long did it take to complete the SP Story mode?

Online, is there a reward feature coupled with a lot of Customisation?

Thank you.

Corpse juggling was one of my favorite ways to waste ammo, even tho ammo is incredibly limited lol

Bodies did disappear in the demo, but don't in game. A lot of the progression through the game during the chapters, has you dropping down to areas in which you cannot get back out of, so if they disappear after that I don't know.

I would say about 9 hours on my first play through on Combat-Op(Normal) difficulty. Thats with dieing and all that jazz. Just like most modern war based games the store isn't terribly long, but this one specifically shames all other modern war stories in games. As the story heats up and you realize the characters have not only crossed the line but have totally lost it, it makes you feel like you're almost evil even playing the game. Which I loved.

I haven't gotten too far into the multiplayer, only played a few games but matchmaking takes a bit with the limited amount of people playing right now. The mp does play exactly like the story mode, game play wise. I can only hope that there is a deep and fulfilling customization.

Currently, I am trying to collect all the Intel, just for kicks as there is no REAL value to doing that. And its not as easy as just reloading the damn chapter and finding it, some of these intel nodes are extremely well hidden.

All in all, I would say that this is my FAVORITE modern war era game, in terms of the story. Like I said, haven't dove too deep into the multiplayer. But if anyone is playing it on ps3, lets get together and waste some people in matchmaking!

Sweet, thank you for the intel ^^

Not a problem. You'll definitely enjoy it. One of my good friends says he always hates third person shooters, but I got him playing this at my house and later that night he went out and bought it. Its that good. lol
