While I agree with the gameplay aspect having changed drastically (remember, I'm old.. I remember OLD games too! LOL!)- I really enjoy the new one. The graphics are top notch, the cinematics are for once integrated beautifully, and it strikes a decent balance between epic scale moments and connecting with the characters to some degree- something sorely lacking in most shooters of this generation, honestly. COD MW series is especially guilty of this even thought the original MW had a solid storyline and plot- then it tried to out do itself everytime, with ridiculous results.
Just an opinion. I do wish they made a modern version of the Rainbow 6 series, those were fun too!!!!
