Feels like MW2 mixed with Halo, only better

I downloaded the multiplayer demo this morning on my Xbox and geared up for the inevitable noob feeling you'd get from any other game. To my surprise, my first match wasn't too bad on my behalf. The controls seem easy to get used to for any 1st person shooter fan and there are plenty of options for button assignments and sensitivity. The control over my player felt somewhat like Modern Warfare 2 mixed with a bit of a Halo feel. The map was solid and the graphics were nothing short of what you'd expect from Crytek(Incredible graphics). The environment is extremely hands on and everything feels very vulnerable. The nanosuits have a lot of different capabilities and options and they all seem to balance fairly well. The guns look great and the HUD is very easy to understand. I can only imagine how great the campaign is going to play and feel.
All in all, I think this is an awesome game just from playing the multiplayer demo and I can't wait for the full game to release in March. If you're a fan of realistic gameplay, this one probably isn't for you. It does seem to be more of a Halo approach. Be expecting a lot of tactical thinking and make sure you're always aiming for those headshots. But, if you are into the futuristic sci-fi intense 1st person shooters, this one is going to satisfy your taste buds.
