I read the whole article but I can't find any explanation of how the author thinks the game reboots the FPS genre or why it's the most important game in years.

The thing the author raved about, mostly, were how the game makes you feel like a badass with easy-to-kill AI enemies and extremely powerful weapons. Sounds very easy to kill or be killed. I'm not criticizing that but I'm not sure if it's revolutionary, either. The big thing appears to be removing as many frustrations as possible, which can be a positive depending on what you like, but isn't that kind of the CoD direction, anyway?

The Pilot/Mecha duality is very interesting but I think that's more of a unique design than something that will change the gameplay of a genre.
