slight correction there - double maulers were the best, and the laptop gun for sneaky kills.
Oh sweet memories of PD *goes to cry

lol the PD bots used to throw mines at you and just stand there...

Tangier is their version of Joanna Dark.
I loved the "He was my cousin three times removed" line. Really taking the pi$$!
The multi is good, but only if you put the bots on hard otherwise you just win, win, win. It's not PD but it does enough to remind me of PD multi.

For you? Yes. For others, probably not.

So your solution is to cut out 50% of the game?

Haven't played the mutliplayer yet. Have you noticed though in the single player how many things they stole from Perfect Dark? things like you shoot an enemy and his friend will say stuff like "he was my cousin" and "I'm gonna miss him" still funny but taken straight from the Perfect Dark book of funnies.
Mainly because every 20 minutes I would stop and think; I've gone round in a circle'.
Only even more worrying is that I hadn't, I'd been going forwards the whole time.
