Visuals get the job done, Pace is a bit slower and more deliberate than something like team fortress of half life, i like it because its different, and with the right people, awesome fun.
As far as the controls go, you only have at most 3 weapons to cycle from, one primary, one secondary, and grenade, knife doesnt cycle. so its max 2 clicks to get to the toy you want to use. Items are a bit different because you can pick up barrels and some other stuff.
I had a lot of fun using the grenades that let you spot people behind walls and stuff, then rushing in from behind and CQC followed by an auto aim kill while they are on the ground.
SOP is really neat, and when you get smart players actually using it, the game becomes a blast.
Controls took a bit of getting used too, but once you get the hang of switching on and off auto aim at the right times, it becomes a lot more fun.
I'm going to enjoy playing this, heres hoping its up for more than a year this time.
