This game is just awesome. I recommend playing it on Hard from the word go. It makes the experience just more enjoyable. The multiplayer is just awesome. the co-op is awesome. the game is just awesome. Can't wait for the expansion and the new update. see you all on the battlefield.
I must get the new maps, need more killing fields. Still need to try the co-op to busy with Skyrim and Borderlands.
i cant wait for back to krakand and 8 million is seriously impresive, who ever says games are for kids really needs to take a look at those sales figures.
