Pro Fast and fun gameplay
Secret Panchos is an isometric top down PvP shooter that pits teams of 3 against each other in several different modes of play. Games are quick, and the game mechanics are based on skill shots using a primary or secondary weapon that differs depending on which character you use.
Pro Variety of environments
Pro Neat campaign
This heavily story-driven Call of Duty campaign features a cool cast of characters, a villain who is basically what Batman would be if he were evil, and a bunch of great set pieces, like an escape from a prison inside an abandoned casino, a tank assault on an enemy base, two missions on a space station in Earth orbit, and a fight on a monorail.
Pro Awesome co-op mode
Players are sent to abandoned towns to fight hordes of aliens, kinda like the Zombies modes in previous Call of Duty games, but with randomized objectives that they have to complete in order to progress. It has some of the most fun gameplay in the entire Call of Duty series.
Pro Runs at 1080p and 60fps
Like all Call of Duty games, it focuses heavily on running smoothly, creating gameplay that feels way more fun than its 30fps counterparts.
Cons
Con Height
If you played the other Call of Duty games, then you would know that this game always feels like it's always crouching. It is really annoying with your character feeling like they are 4 feet tall all the time.
Con Dead multiplayer
The multiplayer has almost no players, many gamemodes are completely dead and only traditional ones, like free-for-all and team deathmatch have a few players.
Con Fish AI
Fish AI was claimed pre-release as part of the new engine, something that is not even new tech in the slightest and has been around in games for over 20 years. Of course to no ones surprise, post release the fish do not behave in the manner that was claimed. Once this was found out when the game released the studio then claimed it was "just a joke".
Con The competitive multiplayer isn't great
The map design and gameplay is some of the worst that Call of Duty has ever seen. There are better Call of Duty games to play if you want to play competitively.
