Pros:

+ Airstrike AOEs are more clearly marked for teammates
+ Vehicles have larger pickup radii
+ Vehicles get a dedicated equipment slot
+ Weapons and armor can now drop for classes you aren't using
+ Duplicate weapons are no longer useless
+ Tons of other improvements I didn't notice in the short time I got to play

Cons:

hey now some people just want to get right to maximum explosion mode

I can respect that

Do they effect the other players when you use them online? I don't care what anyone does in single player, but I know in 4 people using cheats would give max armor and weapon drops to other players in the multiplayer game, which really sucks if you want to actually play the game yourself.

I don't fully think I understand.

1) What is the difference between Normal and Hard mode on SP?

2) Why is there always a decrease in enemy HP/damage going from (Multiplayer with 1 player) to (Multiplayer with 2 players)?

1) These are just the changes from adjusting the number of players, not any other changes between difficulties. Single player enemies have the base level of health regardless of whether you're playing in splitscreen

2) Playing online with 1 player gives you the same enemy scaling as with 4 players. Why? Uh, I don't know, extra challenge mode?

Don't cheat anything in unless you're just planning to screw around for a couple hours and then stop playing forever or something.

I think 4.1 had the better story, I remember the steady escalation of stakes and deterioration of earth's forces being sold pretty well as the campaign progressed. In 5 I felt like the middle 80% of missions could be more or less shuffled around randomly, at least in terms of narrative.

5 is definitely the better of the two in terms of gameplay though, and its story is still interesting in its own way.
