It' s a console game, it' s made with lack of precision in mind, except for spread at range i' ve never had an issue with going for the head rather than the chest. There' s noin avoiding the direct fire if half of the cover elements explode in a ball of fire. It' s not so much that the game has hard sections but that many times you can only see the muzzle flash and not the enemy it' s coming from. You shoot back at the flash but what the hell are you hitting? A grey concrete block? Grey metal pipe? Grey fatigues worn by the enemy? The enemies had poor ai and i remember this being excused as " it' s just a dumb shooter based on dumb hollywood action movies! " so the mowing down of dozens of brain dead goons was forgiven.
