I set the difficulty to medium, and it actually felt like hard mode to begin with, I died very quickly numerous times on the first groups of enemies
Same here but you get used to the combat system pretty quick. Trick is to get the reticle 'on'
before you pop-up.
I'm finding that getting into cover is almost essential for combat - it's no 'run and gun', this one.
I find the stealth cover and other controls a bit clunky and its rather annoying that when you crouch you have to press the same key again to uncrouch - basically its just going to take me some getting used to as I'm not a 'stealth' person.
You can change the behaviour in settings to 'hold button' rather than toggle.
I'm progressing much faster just by shooting seven shades out of everyone now
Me too. Killing is very satisfying in this game. I'm doing most with the 10mm pistol. BOOOOOM Headshot!!!!
The more I play this, the more I remember of the original - still one of the best games ever, IMO.
