I've heard great things about the SP campaign, only negative being
that it's too short.  I haven't tried it yet myself.

One thing I fear with a game like this is that folks will try MP and
quickly give up because they are getting killed running out into open
areas.  If people join a conquest map via quickmatch, they are likely
to get thrown into a 64 player server, and that can be a pretty
chaotic introduction to multiplayer gaming for those not used to it.

There are some good thoughts here on what Mack says with regard to how
he got past the first hour or so, and learned to play multiplayer the
way it was meant.

For folks not used to MP games or with limited skills, I always
recommend going into servers that only have a few players, in order to
get familiar with the map and shooting mechanics without bullets
flying at you from all around.

Once you get better, having that chaos of potentially being shot from
anywhere is part of what creates intensity, encourages you to take
cover and approach your goals with tactics and caution instead of just
rushing in.

This game is a defining moment in PC gaming history.  DICE raised the
bar and it is the shooter by which future shooters will be judged.
