I played it on the PC and none of the problems mentioned on the GameTrailers exist for me. It also seems liek a lot of reviewrs are idiots. I swear I saw the line "sometimes my knives boubnce off other times they kill them in one hit, very inconsitent" seeing how armor is per-pixel hit detected that makes a lot of sense and it's quite consistent. Same with the stealth system, since it illuminates you when you shoot and a lot of enemis have nightvision/lights they don't seem to realize that it's possible that enemies see them because they suck, not because the game is broken. Graphics really seem to suck on the 360 compared to the PC and I am leaving the option tha the reviewers are not idiots but the developers had to cut some of the more intensive calculations, such as the per-pixel hit detection armor, because the 360 couldn't handle it. I doubt that and I would rather think that the reviewers are idiots.
@kiefer Played it on hard and the enemies were definitely not bullet sponges if you hit them right. All but the Librarians would die if you could get a head shot on them with any weapon and the throwing knives would 1 shot any lower enemy. Furthermore, armor really effects damage in the game, but if you want to kill things very quickly with not as many bullets use the military grade ammo, it tears things up. Also I noticed that even a Librarian on Hardcore dies with 3 thrwon knives if they all hit his head. Otherwise it's 5 knives + a few shells from the shotgun. I never quite got how you weren't supposed to kill them, I only didn't kill the sleeping ones that you have to sneak past. |
I've scored a few headshots for 1 hit kills but the fact is, you can't when there are 10 enemies hitting you in the pitch black from all directions and I refuse to turn up the brightness in-game or on my TV. Can't do that in Real Life 
I've been keeping the throwing knifes for the Bandit's/Nazi's during the stealth sequences. Sometimes the knife has passed through them and it only seems to be a 1 hit kill if you hit them in the upperchest.
