Playing a Vanguard. Now 7 hours in, still feels a bit easy. But it's also very good.
The regenerating health seems to work with the fast paced combat. Guns use ammo. Lots of the RPG-esque item micromanagement from the first game (guns, armour, gun perks, armour perks) is completely gone. Everything has been streamlined. I can see some people taking issue with this as it's a pretty big departure from the first game.
I would say that when compared to the original this game has been rearranged in a way that will make it appeal more to shooter fans (just look at the boxart...), while still retaining some RPG goodness. It also improves upon some failures of the first for sure.
