I went out and picked up BIA EIB after reading this review. Nice post Kodega.

I didn't play the first BIA.

BIA is a completely different game than COD. Much more tactical. Let me say that again. Much more tactical. I didn't enjoy the Unreal graphics or the very poor voice acting. I did enjoy the gameplay a lot. I was very frustrated by the lack of save points or health packs but once I realized that the game gave my squad a free heal after the 4th or 5th time loading it wasn't so bad. I really don't like the weapon sights. I could (and have) done better with a real M1 than I can in game. I know COD was bit crazy on accuracy but I'd like a happy middle ground that BIA didn't give me. I felt like some insurgent doing a pray and spray every time I pulled the trigger. However, it seems like everything was well thought out in terms of realism, so maybe this is meant to portray what it's like to be shooting while being shot at...a situation I've certainly never been in before.

I think that if it weren't for the bad voice acting I'd be loving this game. It's hard but very very rewarding.

No time to try online play so can't comment there.
