Conflict series here to stay for squad based action and in depth missions.
The A.I. is smarter too. They run for cover and shoot from cover. Snipers are sometimes difficult to find and may drop you and your squad mates several times before you hone in on their position. As always with this series I found it fairly difficult to accomplish missions even on the normal setting. Once you get in the higher levels, planning on how to accomplish your objectives is key. With four players the option to just run and gun is out of the question. You may have to stick together to achieve some goals and sometimes all members will branch out to seek and destroy. Either way you have alot of freedom and several ways to get the job done.
