This was the third expensive game, that I ever bought for my PC; just after it was released 2006. Payed insane money for it. I have played it through several times. On each difficulty. I even found the hard level not hard enough. I am still wondering, why so many people say that this game is too hard even on easy. You just have to consider some simple combat rules to be successfull: 1.) grenades explode at 4th tick in your hands, throw them at 3rd tick towars you or at 2nd tick at 45° angle (red grenades to kill groups, gas grenades to block corridors) 2.) the pistol you got at the beginning is the only silenced weapon, stealth gameplay IS possible with it 3.) arm your comrades with your primary weapon or shotgun at all possible ocassions, you will find new weapons easily. 4.) when you are about to become a prisoner of war, drop all the guns but DROP NO grenades (the AI does not see them as weapons) 5.) Veronica machine gun is the best weapon, even better then the rocket-machinegun. 6.) tanks drive almost all the time the same path, it is easys to throw mines in front of them. I consider this game to be more an arcade style because of the very good gameflow. The game was so much better then the MOH in its time. It was extremely underrated and then forgotten. And I really liked the impact of the grenades on the enemies (last time I have seen such realistic effects in the game "shellshock nam '67"). It is not difficult at all, but I am a veteran of the first three Unreal Tournaments and the complete Operation Flashpoint... In my opinion this is the game even doesnot allows to test, how good you are in ego shooters, because it is too easy.
