I'm not sure where all the bad reviews come from. The storytelling is very well done, captivating and feels... ...personal (yes, maybe it's me, I tend to get attached and sentimental , but whatever) yes, sometimes it feels more "arcade-y" then "elite-y", and a possible disappointment awaits people expecting huge open maps we all loved. It feels alot more fast paced and tactical and, even with short missions, you'll take quite some time to get the runs just right. (If you're not restarting missions after a single bad shot or blown cover, you're not a die hard, <3 )
