    Game play is solid, very nice indeed. I didnt play the first one but I kinda expected everything that I got with this game. The movement is top notch and it really feels like your controlling a character with a suit on.

    Graphics have been solid all around, I haven't played to many new games as of 2010 and 2011 but I really love the style they took with it even though its only DX 9.

    Sound is very good from what I have played, the team members in MP are always talking to each(just NPC talk) to give a hightened sence of the experience and there is voice system in game for ppl with microphones which I really love, All games need this.

    Replayability, so far there are a lot of acheivments you are going to be able to unlock as well as a nice friends system. I couldnt start a few games when I first loged on but after adding a few friends you can invite them in game through an easy interface invite system which is always monitored even in single player, very ingenious.

    Multiplayer is one of the reasons I got it, the main one. I hope they will be able to add more to it, like more modes where the objective isnt just capturing points and maybee a campaign mode where players can team up and play through a story type of setting. All in all, the multiplayer is highly addictive and fun and will consume you for at least the first few hours learning all the commands and abilities. Its not going to be like COD BO or something like that, but for what its worth EA really hit it straight on the head seemings how this is mainly a single plaer game.
