I've never felt so alone in a multiplayer environment. This game is without a soul. I finally went into the 2nd Strike mission and felt like the other two people that were playing alongside me were actually playing the game "with" me. I sort of wanted to say thanks to them. No real way to do that. I can't remember their handles they were too complicated. Would have been nice to group up with them again for some regular missions if they wanted.
Just like other first person shooters on the console I wanted my mouse and keyboard desperately. But most of all I wanted TeamSpeak or Ventrilo and a good group of friends to enjoy the game with. Normally I am in my living room taking some time out to enjoy some console fun but this game left me with such a strong desire to just interact with someone....anyone. I got up went into my office and sat down with some TeamSpeak friends to play other games.
I would have welcomed the high pitch squeal of a pre-teen screaming at how bad I am at the game and I think that says it all.
