Gameplay

172 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you played and liked the first, you should really like this sequel as it beefs up everything and improves on the formula (more customization, more attachments, new classes, new enemies, bigger campaigns and maps, quality of life additions, etc).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This one has a lot of graphics options, unlike the original Fireteam Elite, thats a clear improvement.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's not a perfect game but the minor amount of bugs and hiccups I encountered is more than made up for by the addicting and heart-pounding co-op experience.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The primary pro is the gameplay is like the first but 4 player, with various improvements such as better feeling weapon balance, better class design, more aliens to shoot and longer waves.
