Never go through unsecured doors
I’d never played a “tactical” shooter before and it was a rather interesting experience. It’s very different from your usual first person shooters, where you’re an unkillable superhero who is always charging in the thick of combat, destroying armies after armies of enemy soldiers on your own. Here you can’t accomplish much by yourself and you have to think about how you use your teammates. The game is very punishing when it comes to your mistakes. The words of Hoffman from Saw 4 kept ringing in my ears throughout the entire game: “You know never to go through an unsecured door. Ever.” And yet time after time I did and had to start over. That’s right – one mistake and you’re dead. Well, two or three, if you’re lucky. There are no modern day shenanigans like regenerating health, but there aren’t any first aid kits either. Still it’s fine, as the difficulty IS fair and with trial and error you will eventually learn the mission and complete it, and it will feel rewarding when you do. By “learn” I mean “get the general idea of how to act in various situations in the given environment,” because the positioning of enemies and hostages is randomized every time. The story isn’t exactly complex, but it’s there and I guess is okay. For me it was tremendously overshadowed by the novelty of gameplay. There is no tutorial, but us, old-timers, know that you’re expected to read the manual. All the information you might need is there. You will have to install the Last Resort mod and dgVoodoo to run the game at a modern resolution and a proper framerate.
