Some of the best gunplay in the series dragged down by some of the worst scripted bullshit to date. Anytime you have a fun or tense gunfight it has to make up for it by filling twice as much time with a terrible gimmick or an insanely boring cutscene. Also, stop trying to put "boss fights" in these games. It does not work! It never works!

I don't mind the premise of a swashbuckling ww2 A-team, but the game does everything in its power to make everyone as annoying as possible. I don't like to rag on "dialogue" especially in a game as mindless as this but it's genuinely impossible to convey through text how fucking dumb it all is. I see a lot of complaints from the usual crowd about this game having forced diversity (it does to be fair) or how it disrespects the troops or yadda yadda yadda but the reality is that you can get away with all of that shit if you make anyone likeable to any degree whatsoever! They let you play as a silent guy in the beginning and then immediately kill him off so you can spend the rest of the game watching what is basically just a bad streaming drama occassionally interrupted by gameplay.

I feel bad saying this because it's clear through little bits like the environment and the sound design that there are so many genuinely talented people who worked on this, who work on all of these games, and all of their work is crushed under mountains and mountains of intrusive garbage that almost seems designed to make the game entirely disposable and forgettable.

That being said, the multiplayer is probably one of the most fun times i've had with one of these. Honestly has some of the best maps in the series.
