Its a weird one this as the game has been out in Europe for a while now.
Codemasters is a British company but the game doesn't seem to have a big 'America great, Chinese bad'; more of a being in the wrong place at the wrong time vibe.
No map editor that I am aware of (even in the PC version) and its taken some flack because of it. The operation flashpoint games have normally been very open world, and while this one allows you a large area to play in its not infinate and you'll die if you wander too far from the expected area. You can only drive the cars in the game and use turrets, but no helos or tanks.
I actually really enjoyed this game; the AI is a little stupid and will quite happily run in front of you while your shooting, but for people who prefer a more tactical shooter its a good fun game and really good playing co-op online
