It's frickin annoying. I just stopped at the 3rd mission, the game seems to enjoy throwing more and more enemies against you, a lot of which have one-shot instakill weapons/abilities. Unfortunately, more enemies != more fun.

At one point I was told to defend an area against
- 2 dropships hauling their plasma ship cannons against me
- 2 of those only-killable from behind subbosses
- 2 stealth enemies with instakills

After trying that ~20 times, I found the best way is just to hide in a corner and let the (unkillable) team NPCs do the job. Frickin lame, saved by the NPCs.

Also, during the 2nd mission all my teammates suddenly seem to have been replaced by Russians... Unfortunately its quite annoying listening to their nonstop gibberish with their awful accents: "Iiiit's mein! Ai tääjk siis targättttt!" Wtf.

At least they updated their gfx engine, if you're playing at 1080p it's quite pretty. Not so impressive on 1680x1050 thou, for some reason I don't understand (maybe they are doing excessive upscaling at certain resolutions again, like they did with Halo3).

Oh, one more funny thing: If you take the cannon spot on those jeep things and let the AI drive, it will drive like shit. Pretty much like yourself would do with the retro drive-only-where-you're-looking-at control scheme.

They changed the buttons for your abilities.... again. I think they were just fine before.  :(

they changed melee with right bumper which is alot better as you can aim whilst meleeing.
Before you had to take your thumb off the right thumbstick to melee making it alot harder to aim.
