All that's here is a clearly defined, well-written, well-acted character named Haggard who seems enamored with explosions. As we watched, we began to get the oddest sensation. We weren't sure, but we think that's what it's like when other emotions are engaged besides the emotion that likes to see things blown up. ... Yuck. We need a shower.

I have a good feeling this game will deliver. The previews look really really nice. Go DICE!

At least the humor is decidedly better than "Army of Two"

Nice.
From what I've seen this has the potential to make Dice's name on the console after a few so-so titles.
It will greatly depend on the enemy/friendly AI though. Dice's bots aren't the best, and while they roughly simulate a person playing an online shooter, they don't really act like real people which is what you expect in a SP shooter.
But if they've got some outside talent in to produce some convincing AI which is convincing without needing to be scripted, then we could have an awesome game.

Wait so being humorous in an FPS, automatically means it's a rip off of TF2?

This game looks great. It's about time DICE does something single player for once. Almost looks like Three Kings the game, only it's in Europe not Iraq.

If the game takes a narrative aspect, I'd be interested: character development looks promising.
Otherwise, screw it.
