Hardly any of that actually present or maybe even worse than that, because of the veil soon enough you can overpower your enemies easily. Some of the more challenging bits (hold out positions, boss fights) are still manageable with enough trial-and-error but I did start and hate the long wait time between dying and waiting to press enter to restart.
Did I play multi-player? Yes. It was fun for a while. I checked in xfire, I played it for 7 hours. That's it. It wasn't fun enough.
