This is an excellent FPS game that has a strategic twist to it. This is not COD, you cannot just bunny-hop 360-noscope throughout the map, this game takes skills to master and anyone coming from those types of arcade FPS games might need to adjust to this game. If your planning to play casual mode, then a headset is not really necessary, but if you play ranked game, its very necessary.
The only thing bad about this game is that being a Ubisoft product, it has had numerous server issues.
