Haven't touched the HD remaster (meaning I don't know how combat has been tweaked exactly), but I remember being frustrated on Normal with the original because, frankly, I suck at shooters. (Or used to suck. I probably still suck. Whatever.)
I got through Drakes Fortune, but I remember hating enemies that seemed to take multiple headshots (Guess that's fixed now? Or maybe I wasn't actually getting headshots...) and a few of the difficulty spikes (I specifically remember one being known as the Blue Room - suddenly you have to kill waves of enemies because video gamez). Keep playing and, well, "get gud" I suppose.
