Played in coop which is a fair bit different from sp, no map squad planning and no story cutscenes (which sucks), but planing and coordinating with your mate throughout the campaign levels makes up for that, and it's not instant game over if you die once as each player gets a full squad.
Levels with hostages and bombs can be a bit annoying and trial and error, as the AI rushes to detonate or kill the hostages, but once you know the locations is satisfying to plan a "tactical" entrance.
Maps are varied and look nice, shooting is good enough, the AI is not rubbish, and the game has lan play.
