There are situations in the game where this still works, depending on the difficutly level you're playing. But most of the times you'll be dead pretty fast.
I've read in a review that you'll die within a few seconds on the higher difficulties, if you try to "run n' gun".
Shit, that sounds like it'd be difficult, yet fun.
BTW, Have any of you played Resistance 2 and what do you think of it? It's nothing really revolutionary, but it is still pretty fun to play, as is the online system a pretty good setup.
Finished my first playthrough on normal difficulty about an hour ago, needed eight hours and a few minutes in total.
- I've died 56 times.
- I've commited suicide two times?! LOL!
- I've revived squad members 31 times.
- I've killed three squad members...
- I found the ending to be very disappointing.
Now i've started a new game on hard difficulty. It's still not too hard, but "out in the open" you'll be dead in no time.
I haven't played the second one, but from the limited time I exposed myself to the first one I'm not so keen on finding out how the second is. The first was pretty rubbish imho.
I mostly find the online to be fun, the story, becuase I'm a chicken shit, I tend to get worried after every battle simply because there's another one imminently coming soon after.
