I'm kind of enjoying it.   The cover system and general mechanics need a lot of work.  Its just not as smooth as Gears of War or Uncharted.  

 

I'm playing on Normal and I have to say that I died a few times due to poor controls/gameplay mechanics

Yeah it pretty much ruined the experience for me. I've changed my gaming habits since then to not give a damn about achievements, but it's oddly difficult.

Im in the the middle of chapter 10 and I'm liking the game more now that I've gotten a little more used to the clunky controls.

 

The storyline is excellent and I like the idea of making choices.  I wonder how it will play out.

I'm not super into Trophies, but I enjoy getting them.  I don't have a problem with the difficulty if it's worthwhile, and I think this game will be.  That being said I play in small chunks so not to scream constantly at my TV.

You'll enjoy it.

I'm glad everyone is liking it.

Pretty awesome last 6-7 chapters.  

 

Great story, great experience.  If only the gameplay mechanics weren't so broken.  I can't say how many times I died because I couldn't get into cover.

 

Also, why does the game try to reinvent the wheel by making the hurdle and cover buttons different?  Just make it like Gears.

I listened to this random Gamespot podcast a while back that had the lead writer of Spec Ops on and it was pretty interesting to hear some of the things he was going for with the story.
