single player is great. the missions are very creative. even better than HL, IMO.
the beach mission and the "sniper's last stand" mission is simply my favorite.
in "sniper's last stand", you get to walk through a destroyed town filled with snipers. and once you walk in the open, BANG, you're shot from nowhere. i usually had to die 3-4 times before i could figure out where the sniper is (and i'm playing in easy mode!). great fun.
and these 2 scenes do remind me of the scenes from Enemy At the Gates.
and in some missions, you get to drive tanks, use a binocular to lock the target and send a radio call for artillery. and in the last mission where you have to destroy a whole fort by planting bombs in the underground level where it is filled with gas, you have to put on a gas mask. and that really really reduces your sight.
another mission which i really like the
idea is where you have to go under cover, hoister your weapons and get a nazi uniform. and you have to show your (stolen) id when requested.
the reason i said "idea" cause it's the idea that's good. the game didn't really make much use of it. i could just blow my cover and turn into rambo anytime.
the graphics, dunno. running a KYROII so i can't tweak everything to the max. so the graphics is just so so. didn't really impress me like when UT did.
but i thought it promised realistic trees! like in the nvidia tree demo (the one with fireflies)!!! bah!
ghost recon has better sound and out door graphics, IMO.
but if you're looking forward to a good and creative single player, then i say your order's worth every cent...
