Divinity: Original Sin Wasteland 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
When a 'special event' potentially turns out better than the rest of the game.

Tried it over the free weekend and bought it.

On Extreme difficulty with HUD turned off, it's actually pretty tense. You die in four-five gunshots, enemies don't appear magically on your HUD when detected, can't tag enemies etc.

Unfortunately, it is clearly not meant to be played single-player as the co-op partners are useless pieces of shit. I mean, what they really should allow for is to draw up an action plan on the main map such that AI partners proceed based on go-codes, not this simple "GO THERE AND SHOOT" bullshit.

It would really benefit from some modding support, the very least.

Kind of unrelated to Ghost Recon, but is there any game with the level of autism where you actually have to change machine gun barrel once it heats?

ACE 2 for Arma 2 had barrel replacement mechanic. of course, carrying around a spare barrel was not fun

Someone already said Red Orchestra, but in Rising Storm 2 once you fire off like 300 rounds straight the barrel warps and you have zero accuracy, although, I don't think there was a mechanic to replace it. Now that I think about it, sort of a pointless mechanic because firing full auto is pretty worthless and bursting is far more effective, and besides that you have to fire full auto for a minimum of 3 reloads straight with 100 round boxes or 2 reloads with the 200 round belts with the M60.

I mean, in most games doing burst is more effective because there is no real need for actual cover fire like in real life.

Jah, MG3 varuraud pidi kaasas olema kogu aeg. Olin luures seega üksinda pidin kõike tassima, kuna kuulipilduja abi puudub luurejagudes.

Jagged Alliance 2 with 1.13 has QD barrel replacement and suppression fire works in the base game (makes target take an AP penalty next round, forces them to a downward stance). Silent Storm had the same suppression system, but no barrel changes.
