Objectives range from capturing points, destroyble objectives, active (use key to capture), stealing, etc.
Delayed Sounds. Example: You are standing 100 meters away from a bomb being exploded instead of hearing the sound on instant explosion, you'll receive it after certain amount of seconds.
All weapons are skill based, only the sentry gun is automatic. Example: the Rocket launcher (Javelin) allows you to fast straight fire or lock. If you lock, you can pick a trajectory for angle of attack (Vehicles have weak spots). If you straight fire, it's based on your aiming skills.
Target sharing, a second person is needed in a vehicle to "mark" the target. Then only the gunner can see it.
Missile defeat is also player controlled; you have to spot the incoming rocket, aim at it, and shoot it down. It's not that easy, though if you master it, your vehicle will be stronger. That said, you need two people in the vehicle for it to be useful. (Driver \Gunner, Counter measure \ Targeting)
Will contain a Single Player campaign. - The single player campaign will focus on this powerful storyline as players' execute missions focused on non-linear gameplay, moving their frontline through enemy held territory.

Single Player puts you in a division called the Stray Dogs where you work with a tough squad of gritty soldiers fighting through impossible odds. Joining you on the missions is an embedded reporter who tells you the stories back home and helps you through the mission.
The Artificial Intelligence for this game can be considered as advanced. For example, if the AI soldiers see you moving around a corner, it will hold its position. If the AI thinks you are about to do something, it'll try to flank you. If they suspect you're in the area, the AI Soldiers will hunt you down, they'll be moving from one place to another around your last known position. If they find you, they can also retreat into defensive positions, cover, and call for help. If there is a slow pace in the game your AI squad could possibly check the status of the mission or tell stories to each other.
