It has a ranking system and weapon choice very similar to CoD. What seperated the two for me was the rankings and the weapon spawns. I like the game just hate they did away with what made the game unique and not just another FPS. If i were to ask what game is it that has the weapon spawns and ranking system... only answer i can think of is/was halo. The game is just a generic FPS. BF3, CoD, Crysis, Halo, all too similar now.
That was the game. Both systems ARE flawed however now they are all the same. I agree with adding playlists for choice. Those that like pointless ranks that mean nothing obtainable by all can do some. And those that like a challenge and someting different (aka old halo) can have fun as well.
Would like to say I like the game just wish it wasnt sooo generic.
