It's pretty symptomatic of Beth as a whole: Railroad the player through a bunch of scenes from a B-movie and call it an RPG because it has stats and you can wander off in another direction. All their plot events, quite simply, suck. Hard.

That's called twinking in my book of RPGs. And yes, ducking in and out of cover is a valid tactic. But if there's enough of them (And let's not go into having Bozar) they'll eventually get around that corner and kill you. You're talking about beating FO2 without armour because you're twinking...
