Bought this a week or so ago. It's definitely and improvement over the first R6. You have more control over your different teams, such as when they pause prior to receiving a go-code, you can have them either snipe, defend (360 degrees), or cover (180 degrees) orders so that they don't get plugged from behind by some goon. You can set their engagement modes so that they either shoot on sight, only when tango in path, or only when tango engages first so that you can actually do a recon without your teammate giving you away.
Your guys are way more intelligent. In R6 your teammates sometimes (alright, often), would stand directly in front of a door when opening to enter or frag, which usually resulted in your guy getting plugged or fragging himself. Now your mates will stand to one side of the door, lean over, and toss the grenade inside, without exposing himself in any way.
Graphics and weather effects are way better. I'm running a VooDoo3 3000, Celeron 300A (overclocked to 374mhz), and 128mb RAM and it looks cool. Not quite as cool as Quake3, but nothing does. Fog, snowflakes that drop like the real thing, etc, very good.
New animations make the tango and teammates look and move pretty naturally. When a tango gets shot, they tend to do a rather comical pirouette (sp?) before falling. Sometimes they hack, cough and make odd noises. Other times they take multiple hits before going down or limp away if you don't get a particularly good hit.
The weapons array this time is a smorgasbord of sweet pieces. I've been using the UMP .45 suppressed whenever a subgun is desired. I tend to use either the Colt M4 or HK G36 for assault rifles.
I found some cheats that allow you to do things like invisibility (theshadowknows) so you can check out a level without having to play it or finish one of those impossible recon only levels.
