PC Gamer have said "Visually, it's very attractive. The animation is great, the explosions superb, the levels stuffed with detail to take apart, and designed with the same level of freedom that you'd have if someone shoved a gun in your hand and ordered you to do it for real". The player is able to battle alone or cooperatively with up to 16 players in a variety of intense multiplayer operations and there are 25 vast missions in which you can use the fully destructible environments to your advantage
