GameSpot: Developer GSC GameWorld is doing its best to make the game's enemies pose a real challenge. Your enemies will stake out the best patches of cover and take potshots at you, which is why having a sniper scope on your rifle will evidently go a long way toward increasing your survival rate in the Ukraine. In this battle, we had teammates that provided covering fire while we went in for the kills, and as we saw, neither your enemies nor your teammates will live forever once the bullets start flying. Since you'll be fighting your way through an abandoned ruin, you won't exactly be able to stop by the local shopping mall to resupply, which is why you may find yourself looting the corpses of both your enemies and your fallen comrades in search of more ammo, first aid supplies, and new weapons. You'll have only a certain amount of inventory space, and you're also limited by your character's strength and carrying weight, so you'll need to choose your loot wisely.

IGN: Combat definitely leans more towards Rainbow Six than DOOM, especially when fighting with human characters, but it really lies somewhere in between. Basically, that means there's more running around than you might see in Rainbow Six, but weapons and tactics lean towards a much more cautious approach, since weapons and damage tend to be handled more realistically than in a fraggy game like Quake. One thing it did was make us want to get in and play a bit for ourselves to see how the control and weapons feel. Hopefully we'll have a chance to test the game out later this year and let you know how it feels.
