conceptually intriguing and there are sequences that feel like the best directed stuff in the series. but like walks back into the hands of military propaganda so assuredly that I felt ill. and for a future tech game, it's surprisingly thin on cool weapons and interesting ways to use them. at least Ghosts (and eventually Infinite Warfare) had space combat. this may as well have been set today, the tech is little else but pretty set dressing for a by the numbers contemporaneous shooter.
