Played this when it first came out and really enjoyed it for the most part. There was one or two issues, I feel that the MMO feel subtracts from it and a more Ghost Recon like approach would've been better.
Having to scavenge for higher level gear after each mission can get tiring. Especially when the drops are worse than your current gear.
Joining a team and having most of them leave within the first few minutes can be disheartening as well. This however isn't the games fault but a problem with online games in general.
What I did really enjoy though was the combat, when you're using under leveled gear it's a slog but when you're using the correct stuff it can be a lot of fun. I also enjoyed the look of the game, it feels like New York hasn't been lived in for ages and you're exploring a frozen concrete jungle.
The plot was fun enough for the most part too. The opening is mainly just set up for clearing out all the gangs with the stand out being "The Last Man Battalion" who are all ex division agents. I still remember the reveal being particularly good for that one.
