I should've liked this game more, cause I love las vegas and I love tactical shooters and I love rainbow 6 siege but this game just proved to me...............................................................................................................................(I hope you guys trust me ok?? what I'm about to say may be a little controversial................. ok? you've been warned!) how terrible consoles were for video games... STICK WITH ME!!! LET ME FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK????? JUST LISTEN!!

Imagine you're me and you're playing this game. You're not crazy in love with it and wondering why. You walk up to a door, wanting to use the snake cam to peek ahead. But since snake cam is used when near a door and pressing spacebar, and that exact same button is used for opening the door, and that same button is used for calling your teammates to the door for breach, you don't do what you want to do and you die. You wonder... why are 3 actions put on the same button? I'm on a keyboard and there are plenty of other buttons to use. Space bar is also used to tell your teammates to move, or to vault over objects. It's all contextual but very often these things overlap. Each one of these functions could've gone on separate buttons, or if it becomes overwhelming you could've done what games figured out years ago and have a little drop-down menu where you walk up to a door, hold the standard button that every action uses, and it pops up a little menu. If you're next to a corpse in hitman blood money, this menu shows what items you can pick up. There's a gun on the floor, he dropped his keycard, and with that, you won't be fumbling around with the camera pointing it at a direct pixel so the right button prompt shows up on the screen so you can control your character. When they started developing games for consoles and PC's, they were completely different. I remember the Shrek 2 game on consoles was like a 4-player thing and the Shrek 2 game on pc was a 3d platformer. Do you know why? Same reason lego batman on DS is different from lego batman on ps3. No offense to consoles you guys are awesome I love devil may cry and zelda and halo. I've got a lot more to say about this but really I should just leave it at that so I don't get upset. For what it's worth this game was still fun, after the standard military shooter opening level that almost made me abandon it right out the box, vegas was super cool and shootouts were fun as hell with you giving commands to your teammates. When it works, it's really cool. Waiting for enemies to walk up near the door watching them on snake cam and giving your guys the command to blow down the door at the right time to take both of them out Is undeniably cool and tactical. Maybe the sequel will do better? We'll see. Chaos theory had a bunch more cool gadgets than this maybe there's gonna be more cool gadgets in 2. I just want to do fun swat shit in las vegas and this game gave me some of what i wanted.

I don't even think there's a reason to be coming back to this game bc I think the online servers got shut down
