This is the worlds most horrible multiplayer I have ever played the the shotgun works when it wants to and the lag is horrible and when you are kicking the host butt he up and leaves the game and I get no exp. Me and my friends stop playn this crap a week after we got it I wouldn't play this or Gears 3 if I got it Free.

I would have to say this is one of my favorite games. I like the storyline, except that all the Carmines so far have died. Multiplayer is fantastic besides the lack Dedicated servers. Graphics are phenomenal and way surpass Gears of War. Overall rating, 9.5, always room for improvement.
