"Nice PC, but can it run Crysis?" 
I was on the fence about actually buying this game rather than just waiting for it to become available on Gamefly when it comes out. That's all changed now. I'm putting in my pre-order as we speak. If the multiplayer is any indication of how the final game is going to be when it releases, then this game is gonna be all kinds of badass.
For those of you that play your share of Modern Warfare, Black Ops, or Halo: Reach, you'll feel right at home. The controls play pretty much like MW/Black Ops with the exception of the armor and stealth controls which are similar to that of Halo: Reach. The graphics are great even considering the fact that this is running off the 360 and not a souped-up PC with a $500 graphics card. Gameplay is pretty fun since you can do power jumps, air stomps, climb ledges, slides, and the armor/stealth functions really bring a new dynamic in strategy. It also has class customization like MW/Black Ops which you unlock guns and attachments through leveling up and XP.
Of course with all of the good, comes the bad. Being that this is still in beta, I'm aware that there would be some kinks. First off is hit detection. Now I'm not sure if this is due to the game itself or the network issues, which I will touch on next. It took a full 10 minutes to find a session. Maybe their servers were getting hit hard, but I guess I'm not used waiting that long to connect to a game.
Overall though, this demo swayed me from a rental to a release-day pre-order purchase. If you have a 360 and are an FPS fan, I highly recommend giving this game a shot.
