Pros: + god-tier soundtrack + guns actually feel like guns rather than peashooters + funny bri'ish blokes + unreplaceable atmosphere + memorable and unique enemies + has extremely high replayability value + amazing weapon variety and perks + DOSH + isn't 100gb like kf2 + can run on a toaster Cons: - you can't kill the floor You should still get it though :)
