It seems like the gameplay is going to require that MP is done in TEAM strategy instead of Rambo style gameplay.

Aye. IGI 2 is probably best enjoyed with a group of friends who can manage teamplay. Seems like people playing on various random servers forget or ignore the important team aspect of the game, and rather charge in on their own, kill teammates, or worse yet; save up enough money to buy the Barrett then goes to snipe in a faraway hillside.

btw; using your satellite map is crucial regarding spotting enemies, especially snipers. Nothing is more delightful than finding a sniper on the map, finding a route to him, then blast away at his back with whatever is at disposal
