So, this is the ranger section. How it is the nazi and red sections?Played a bit of the new DLC. I felt a serious STALKER vibe.
The DLC has a level that tasks you to scavenge, survive and return to base to upgrade your arsenal. Very STALKER like. The enemy AI is also randomized a bit so you have quite a bit of variation every time you go out and hunt. The map is quite large, a re-designed and re-skinned version of the Library level from Metro 2033. The layout of the map is not linear as you explore and discover alternative routes etc. Plus you have to manage your gas mask (very limited comparing to the main game), ammo and money.
This whole level feels like the underground labs of STALKER SOC. Due to the randomized placement of the mutant AI, some encounters are quite intense and scary.
I hope this is where the 4A guys are taking the Metro franchise. Hopefully with more memory from the next-gen consoles, those 4A guys can finally make a semi-open-world rogue-like Metro/STALKER hybrid.
Nazi section is basically
Red section is a stealth section, with retarded AI and recycled map from Metro 2033. You get to use the completely awesome(TM) Russian VKS sniper rifle though.
