The infantry fighting is just much more fun than any other FPS game I've ever played, and damn have I logged a lot of hours on shooters. As an infantryman, the fighting doesn't play like 1942, it plays like Black Hawk Down, the movie. Playing Mashtuur City with 64 players was really intense, and the ability to sprint from building to building and quickly go prone made the game feel much more lifelike. One of the features I haven't seen mentioned much is the switch in fire modes. Many guns can switch from single to full auto, and the M-16 can of course transition from 3-round burst to single shot. On single shot, your fire is dead accurate. I liked playing with it, because you can keep it accurate and still keep a reasonably high rate of fire. From prone or crouch the rifles will hit where you aim them, and you can really do some damage. One of the things I was worried about from watching videos was that infantry combat would be too slow and that it would take forever to kill someone. I can assure you that this is not true. For those of you who have seen the game play videos and thought the damage was way to low, don't worry, it's not.
