Never played multiplayer. Single player is good, but not great. Some little military inaccuracies here and there irk me. Being able to jump in vehicles that you find is great, but controlling the tanks is clumsy. Don't expect to bum rush enemies and come out alive... you need to stay covered and concealed as much as possible. Use the thee-to-five-second rush technique when you're under fire... jump up, run for three to five seconds (enough to say "I'm up, he sees me, I'm down"), drop to the prone, and open fire... it's better to fire from the prone than running and firing like Rambo. Killing from a distance is definitely preferred. Speaking of killing from a distance... it's really hard. Sometimes, you'll be in a combat situation, and you'll get popped... the game pretty much always shows where you are, and where the person that killed you is... sometimes, they are SO far away that it is ridiculous.
I think you'll enjoy it, if willing to be patient, and aren't looking for a Wolf/Quake clone.
Fire bad!

If you're interested I just put the game up on Ebay.
