I cant comment on the single player game, because i have never ever even bothered to play it, i dont like siongle player games for P.C's thats what consoles are made for however i love my internet and local LAN games.
This game is what we all play on a thursday night after college which is a blast. At first i didnt quite like it since im a huge rainbow six raven shield fan.
But after some much needed training i fell in love with the multiplayer game i cant get enough i even get my gf to play me at it :D
In multiplayer mode you first have to create your gaming profile this includes your name, your character style (miliatry or rebel) then you weapon choice.
Now you see your weapon choice fits in with what sort of character you have choosen if your a sniper you get a choice of sniper rifles (for the record the barret is the best) a secondary weapon like a pistol and then exras like claymores (leave those minds behind you and watch people walk right over them) there are other ones like medic, cqb and gunner with similar options based on their character.
Once you start setting the game up there are a number of levels to choose from, most of them are very large so its a good idea to have about 10 people playing or you might spend the entire game finiding the others. There are different game options like deathmatch, team death match, capture the flag and take and hold.
Death match sees every player agasint every player and the person to kill the set number of kills or kill the most before the time runs out wins.
Team death match is similar to death match but your in teams the computer puts you on a random team but you can change if two or more people want to swap sides.
Capture the flag sees two teams pitched agasint each other where you must steal the enemy flag which is in there base, this involves team tatcis and quick thinking, the team wins with the most captured flags.
Take and hold there are set key points on the map and both teams have to fight for them and then hold them for long as possible the team that holds them for the longest wins!
Now once oyu have set all these options up you can begin playing the game (i forgot to mention that you can turn of time and set it to any number of minutes, set the kill limit or turn that off, turn of friendly fire so you cant kill your team mates thats a few options there are some more) the game is a first person view (this means you can see your gun and not your character).
The keyboard controls are perfect for a FPS this allows you to move around quickly and easily, change weapons and so on with out finding out that while doing so you was shot!
You have zoom functions on some guns but not all which is a shame, the sniper rifles have auto adjust which means that it sets the evelation for the bullet so you dont have too, this saves alot of time!
The game world looks amazing for such a early game, theres some great cover on levels such as long grass, trees and even buildings, each level as some AI controlled vechile that you can use like a helicopter, hummvee and even gun placements on the level, this can be fun having two people in helicopters having a fire fight!
The game its self as very few glithces so you shouldnt really find your self blaming the game when you die, not like some other games.
This game is a perfect mutliplayer game a must have for any online people!

Advantages: A blast to play and the included level editor offers quite a bit of replay value; good graphics and great use of sound effects; provides the feel of the "you are there" aspect well. Disadvantages: Too short; instances of poor framerates; aggravatingly difficult at times; AI.
Advantages: Extremely realistic, excelent graphics and gameplay, single player provides endless fun, let alone the multiplayer- online experience! Disadvantages: For best gameplay you need a high spec PC and at least a DSL internet connection for multiplayer
