If you have the network adapter and are online with your PS2 then I would say this one is a must have, its going to be huge online when it gets released and plenty of fun. I finished the single player missions earlier which were all fun, going to play through them on the harder levels because there is quite a few ways to go about each of the missions.
All in all a very fun game. Also MGs3 isn't out till the end of the year.

SEAL: OK dude, I want you to crawl up to the side of that hill without making a sound, go prone, use a silenced weapon to neutralise the sentry, then place the C4 charge next to the fuel depot so we can take out the barracks with it. They'll never know what hit them.
SAS guy: Sir! Yes Sir!
*SAS guy dashes forward, bites the leg off the sentry, runs into the barracks shouting "Wakey Wakey Rise and Shine!!!" and blows away 15 sleepy-eyed terrorists with his automatic shotgun. Then reports back to SEAL*
SEAL: What happened to STEALTH?!
SAS guy: Well sir, I'm in the British Army. This C4 is expensive stuff you know...

There are a few more commands, just things like the ability to tell your team to get down, leave the rest of your team in a certain place. Allows them to snipe the enemy etc
There are rocket launchers, but the ammo is limited so you only use them when you have too. Picked up a shotgun in the first level, very cool at taking out the enemy.
Also got some SAS guys in my team for the second mission which is cool.
Got the US version and I'm so far very impressed. Much more of the same with all the improvements that fans wanted to see.
Just waiting to get the UK version when its released for some great online play. :-)
Plenty of fun.
