9.0/10
So far, the highlight of the wave for me (while admittedly having lots left to explore!) I was initially skeptical that a group of lightly-armed disorganized pirates could pose a meaningful gameplay challenge, but these guys are hella twitchy and in the claustrophobic confines of a freighter there's little room for error. A few misplayed engagements and the meltdown counters start bringing things to an abrupt conclusion. My second play of this was one of the best games of Warfighter I've ever had -- down to the wire, danger throughout, and a movie-quality finish with a meticulously timed final push into a room full of hostages. That's how it's done.
