What players say
I find this game really fascinating. Thematically, it's kind of a retelling of the War on Terror, abridged to remove all the collateral damage, atrocities and waste of human life. It's like if war in the Middle East for the last 20+ years was put through a propaganda machine and cleaned up to basically make it about a game about cool dudes kicking ass in the desert, where good always prevails and never crosses any...
Fergie can kick my doors. The game is great, its a BIG improvement from Door Kickers 1, controls here a way more intuitive and mods allows you to create endless levels, the destructible environment creates even more dynamic battlefield and endless ways to clear a level. COOP is fine, I've changed my mind
Honestly been a long time since I have played a game that was "worth the money". This is one of those games.
