Cons
Con Has just one game mode and map
The only game mode is a free for all deathmatch mode in the same map.
Con Not enough support for IOS
Con Not much fun when played alone
While this game has a single player campaign, playing alone isn't as much fun as the multiplayer. Single player mode tends to be extremely difficult, which does detract from the enjoyment of the gameplay. Also, being that the game is designed to be played in groups, to play against 3 other AI players in not as fun or as unpredictable as playing against human players.
