Seriously, how this game plays and controls is very frustrating, like it's really, REALLY OLD. Aiming is horrible, stance transition is horrible. When you're aiming, it cuts the sensitivity like half and you can't adjust it, so either your hip aim is too fast or your shoulder aim is too slow. And for some reason, leaning pulls you out of aiming, so you aim first and then lean (it's stupid). Enemies can see you across the map, accurate from a thousand mile distance, bullet sponges and they somehow do more damage with the same gun you use. Quick shots as well, hitting you before their head even gets into frame. Stamina sucks as well. It depletes too damn fast and recovers too slow, and doesn't significantly recharge unless you're standing still. You also move really slow, even with the sprint and switching to some weapons like the sniper rifle or rocket launcher slows you down even more. Unlike later entries, at least until 3, stealth here is completely non-viable. The only stealth weapon you have is from an MP5 or machete. You can't even move around at a decent pace because they will hear you and investigate a mile away. At least the story is engaging but it's too frustrating to enjoy that.
