The game has pleasant and realistic graphics that should appeal to anyone looking for a real life army shooter.

Someone who's not good at this game won't be able to kill someone who knows how to play by luck.
It could happen ONCE with an across-the-map grenade but it is not like Call of Duty multiplayer where you end up killing someone eventually.
