This game is difficult to enjoy. We did not like the mechanics and gunplay. Has some bad ideas (like rolling dash changes from first-person to third-person then back to first-person) and the even the good ideas were poorly implemented. Gunplay is a strafe and rolling dash shootout fest of 90% missed shots. Dark Ops is similar to Shadowrun’s round-based loadout shopping mechanic, but it’s a frustrating experience.
We recommend that every player turn Camera Bob OFF.
