This is my first fps. I did play Halo Reach with Gold and that story was really short. I was shocked when the credits rolled... I am a RPG'er. RPGs have lore; meat on their bones. Where both FPS and RPG make you earn what you get, RPGs win hands down for storyline. I like this game but it is very vanilla. If I am not playing with friends, I get bored. Perhaps FSPs are not for me, but there could be more meat to this game. They did get my money and I'd agree it is a bit pricey for being this bland. I hope to see more than just new areas to drill over and over into oblivion. Not a totally bad review just not super sold on what I purchased.
