Honestly, I'm not knocking this game because it isn't revolutionary, I'm knocking it because it has "been there, done that a million times already" written all over it.

I might be a decent game but I get the distinct feeling that I've played it so many times in the past 10 years that I have a hard time saying anything more than "meh" about it. Hopefully the full game will surprise me but I'm not holding my breath in anticipation.

Can't you say the same thing about Resistance, COD4, Halo 3, etc? The only shooters that have changed the playing field this gen are Bioshock, for it's storytelling, and Gears, for the cover system, but everything else could be filed under "been there, done that"

CoD4 is quite a bit different. It's a modern setting and extremely well executed. As for Halo, well it kinda created its own sub-genre of shooters so it gets a pass, though the series is getting a little tired and I hope they let it rest for a bit. R:FoM was "meh" for entirely different reasons... The world was bland and felt uninspired IMO.
