if not for all the hype and whatnot, i probably would give it a 7 or 8.. with all the hype I give it a 5 or 6.
In all seriousness, some neat gameplay aspects they've added. But nothing groundbreaking, or outlandishly awesome. Especially in the single player, the single player was wanting on so many levels. There was very little "omg that was freakin epic" bits about it.
Don't get me wrong, it's a really good game, but nothing to make it stand out from the other two, or just about any good shooter for that matter.
Same goes for the graphics. They were really really good. But definitely not the most fantastic graphics on the 360 to date. (though the environments were a metric ton better than the other games)
I guess i'm just nitpicky cause i work in this retarded industry...
