i can agree that its probably one of the better FPS's but i really dont think it flies head and sholder's above other good ones
when i played on it i was really dissapointed because in my mind it didnt live up to the reviews
The reason it's so popular is because of the hype. The whole "I love bees" viral marketing scheme, all the secrecy, etc.
It's a by-the-numbers FPS with Goldeneye-inspired multiplayer, it has no originality to it at all. It's sad when a game's advertising is somehow part of the popularity.
