| − | The player is then assigned as the [[Automatic rifle|Automatic Rifleman]], which involved defending their established [[Military base|base]] in the [[oil field]]s, and bringing the fight to the attackers. They eventually find a supply of money funding the [[Terrorism|terrorists]] inside a radio station's underground tunnels. |

The Fireteam Leader goes through [[Urban warfare|MOUT]] training again with the ability to give limited orders to fellow squadmates.

| − | ==Criticisms== |
||
| − | |||
| − | A large amount of detail was given to the game, but not without flaws. [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] problems mean that the teammates, although helpful, are [[cannon fodder]], with the missions being somewhat more reliant on luck rather than the player's skills in terms of protecting them. There are occasional [[Hang|freeze]]-ups when the game is played for long periods of time. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the online portion, a substantial amount of [[lag]] is evident, regardless of the players having good internet connection. To add to this, players were not able to bring their single-player characters over to on-line and vice-versa, as well as on-line cooperative play despite the original plans to do such a feature prior and during development. Players have speculated that this was due to the rush of Christmas sales. |
