Me and friends enjoy the deathmatch. A lot of the levels seem designed around sniping. Its great trying to stealthily cross a whole area to kill a friend with a sniper rifle. Move. Duck etc. Very much like Saving private Ryan/Band of brothers. That level at the train station is great. Everyone's fighting over the central tower as it's the perfect sniper spot. Once your there it's difficult to remove you.
As for the one player. Realism (which I expected) is out the window, you have a VERY fixed path on later levels. The country levels are particularly appalling especially after playing something like Halo. You just walk down a shallow trench-like path. I would have expected to be able to get out of the trench-like path, but players are unable to do this. It's a lot more linear than it has to be.
Wolfenstein has a much better single player game. As far as I have played it uses buildings mainly so the linear play is believable. MOH tries to do too much with outside areas and looks miserable in comparison. More free-roaming perhaps EA?
