The ambush in the parking area was total chaos.

The ambush in the parking area was total chaos.

Story sucks but the pressure during those moments were intense.

Some of the missions were obnoxious for me as I couldn't figure out where enemies were and ended up becoming a target for the AI. But I'm just getting older so I assume that's just me. Look forward to see what the next entries bring to the table.
