...not bad

infact i think it may actually be good.
playing with revival mod 2.3 which like does things or something. many things, but there is no changelist so i am unsure.

playing as a marksman who got lucky and found a lengendary rifle which launches buzzsaws and cuts through groups of enemies. or maybe it was the mod which increased this type of drop. mod seems pretty competent and balanced, and there has been no other good drops out of many many bossbattles so it was probably luck.

levels seem repetitive despite the amazing graphics which still hold up today.
the lighting and textures are superb in many places. i can take a screenshot of some of them and you wouldnt believe this game is literally 10 years old from 2007.
i never got past the first or second subway station back when i played this in 2007, so i am unsure how the entire game looks and how the levels are varied.
i did run into the british museum which was a nice change of pace, im hoping more variation like this is to come, but im not really holding my breath because the gameplay is just barely solid enough to tolerate the repetitive scenery

gameplay is great though
playing with xbox one gamepad on pc. the game has a type of autoaim present which is built in feature not meant to be disabled, but even so the enemies are easy to hit since none of them are trying to evade you.
pretty solid game. 8.5/10
