The story aspect of the game is criticized for its linearity, despite attempts to offer multiple mission paths and side objectives. Players note that some missions feel unnecessarily long or too brief, and the gameplay can be "cheesed" in various ways, detracting from the overall narrative experience. Additionally, technical issues with controls may hinder immersion during mission execution.
“It tries to give you different ways of doing missions, providing you different paths to objectives and side missions. If you don't notice it, it can succeed in that, but it feels very linear immediately after opening the mini-map.”
“Some missions feel long for no reason, while others are too short.”

“Like past MOH games, a team of four guys does missions like demo and rescue, but when you use a sniper rifle, you have to click left twice. Sometimes the sticks may be an issue, and options could fix it by adjusting mouse speed or buttons.”
