The co-op was tons of fun. I think every one of us had an awesome time with it. I don't know what I was really expecting with this mode but Insomniac did an awesome job and should be commended. The matches were long and I can see a lot of replayability in this mode. It seemed like a lot of people were communicating more in this co-op than I found in multiplayer.
The strict multiplayer I didn't really like much at all. It seemed too hectic and chaotic. Even with the squad system it seemed like a bunch of people just running around with no set objective or strategy. There was quite a bit of spawn killing or it seemed other times I would spawn clear across the map. No real rhyme or reason to it. Maybe getting more friends together in a squad would have made it more enjoyable but I really don't like this style of play. I spent most of the time on the big maps but I think I would prefer the smaller 10 & 20 player maps. Either way I'm not saying it's bad but so far it just doesn't seem like my cup of tea.
Other things I did like across both modes: - EXP System - Guns - Lobby System - Class upgrades |
The squad system doesn't work well in team deathmatch. It is better suited for the "Skirmish" mode. In the end it is still a bunch of random people doing there own thing, just like every other online FPS. The coop is a lot of fun. I like the class system, Medic being my favorite. The special ops is good to if you can team up with a good soldier.

Yeah, that's what I was playing a majority of the time, I probably should have clarified. I actually don't think I played strict deathmatch at all. Maybe it was just the people I played with but so far for me coop >>>> multi imo.
