As much as I'd like to rate this game highly, I can not. It was created for the consoles (X360/PS3) and back-ported to the PC and it shows. There is no dedicated server or good online matchmaking menu. Also, there are no graphical options that the user can set and there is no anti-cheat like Punkbuster.
The story is passable (not really central or important) and the gameplay has been cited as linear and predictable with scripted enemy spawning. This is true, but the levels are always fairly interesting graphically and the gunplay is (I think) awesome.
That is where this game shines. The CloakNT 3 engine used in this game (created in-house by Cauldron) looks and feels great. There is a very nice feel to all the guns in multiplayer (assuming you are not lagging) and there are a myriad of customizations to apply to the guns. This makes for a fairly fun and quick multiplayer game. The multiplayer suffers because there is no visible ping check nor dedicated server utility and no user maps because WorldStudio has not been released updated to be compatible with anything but Chaser (CloakNT 1).
These issues aside, it is a pretty fun MP game with a SP that will be largely forgotten.
