I think the difficulty can be an issue with this one. Sometimes enemies will spawn behind you and kill you instantly because you can take so little damage. I'm all for a challenge but expecting you to psychically know where enemies are spawning is a bit much for me. Also you're often left ammo-less if you dont pull off streams of headshots which basically leads to a suicide run just so you can restart with more bullets. It's a bit daft and breaks the mood entirely. Overall I agree with you tho, it's a brilliant game and one I won't feel bad about playing on Easy lol.

Never had anyone spawn behind me, to be fair. In fact, their appearance is preset, there's no 'spawning' as such.

Also the ammo thing is intentional. You need to duck and weave and grab weapons and ammo often. It's intense as fook. Brilliant game design. If you start running out, take a few pot shots, build up the bullet time, kick it off and roll over to the nearest body.
