    Yeah I know we are not meant to give two sh*ts about single player but this level surprised me and I mentioned it in my review in being the odd gem that pops up 2/3rds into the game.


    For those who have no interest in playing the campaign but want a spoiler free explanation of the level:

    It is the only open ended map in the game, that requires the player to move around a desert to 3 different locations and completet the same objective at each one. Each is made increasingly difficult as you progress and then finally you go to the fourth location for plot progression.


    Anyway its surprisingly enjoyable level with elements of half life episode 2's jeep moments that just randomly changes the game design and then goes back to its linear gamestyle and I am honestly surprised how odd the level is in the overall package.


    It is strange and I cant help but feel annoyed that if they went with this design for all the games levels somewhat that it might have been a more unique and possible more enjoyable experiance over the very by the numbers single player.


    Also of the few reviews I have read or watched little or no mention is made of the level which is surprising consider how much it sticks out.

    Enjoyable level shame the hide and heal thing makes short work of the choppers.

    Some punishment for dying would have made the SP a lot better.

    hardest bit for me was the drainage canal in the third last level, mostly because the spawn points there tend to stretch between 3 or so battles and I tended to get f*cked by a stray grenade in the last seconds.
