It works well in the single player game as you are heavily outnumbered; most missions where there is a shoot-out are designed so that you can use cover all the time; and prior to the missions you can just call Ambulances/Jacob to get full health and body armour. It's fun. But in multiplayer it makes things too easy - for everyone. All I ever seem to do in Deathmatch/TDM is: Spawn - get body armour - run - shoot - live/die - repeat Even if you don't die you have to go and get more health/armour if you want to have a chance at surviving the next skirmish... it feels like jousting sometimes, there's no rhythm or flow to it. Using cover is great - unless you're in an area with not much cover (like the airport), and going to get weapons/armour seems to take ages. The last deathmatch I played, I ended up going all the way to the airport to get a gunship, just to liven things up a bit. Of course, I hit nothing (you've got more chance crashing it into someone than using the machine gun to kill anything). It's also too easy to kill people in cars and helicopters because the weapon just locks straight on - you suddenly lose the advantage of being in a vehicle. I think things would be much more interesting if we used manual aim. There would be more skill, more tension and people wouldn't be so eager to charge headlong into battle. I hope you guys understand this, but I'm more worried about how this would go down in the public games... especially as the host can be kicked. What do we think?

The levels I've played recently haven't had too many cars knocking around, so once I've found one then it's really frustrating to drive down a road at someone, only to find that they're not scared in the least, and don't get out of the way. They hold L2 and press R2 a few times, and then I'm dead. I don't think it's unfair that I have an advantage in a car... there's no point in using one otherwise. Then it just becomes: run - shoot - live/die - repeat. I reckon we give it a go next time we're online. But even if we all come to like it, my worry is that when we go into public matches, we're going to get kicked for turning auto-aim off.
