It was very obviously geared toward ADD kids. The designers were terrified that 0.2 seconds without balls-to-the-wall action would cause the ADD player to lose interest, so the result is a nonstop onslaught of THOUSANDS of enemies running at you without a second to take a breath. There is no surprise or anticipation because you're in "frantic mode" 100% of the time. It's basically a coner movie.

That was certainly what I was hinting at... I think the part that frustrates me the most though is that now PC games are just being ported from console to PC (MW2) or delayed out right for 3 months after the release of the console versions(Assasin's Creed 2). Considering the first AC felt like it was a direct port from the consoles I wont be surprised when the new one is the same.

MW2 had it's fun points, and the style of making the single player a constant non stop action movie is cool and all, but it took me 3 hours on Veteran to complete the SP section of the game... Thats really sad. I miss games like Halflife that took days, was challenging and thought provoking.

That is the entire reason I got hooked on SH3 ages ago. Granted, I played stock SH3, never completed a campaign (was too difficult when I was playing it in "arcade mode") When I found out SH4 had came out, I bought it ASAP and got into the mods and the realism. The alure of the SH series was the length and the thought provoking game play, not the graphics or the non stop action!

Anyway, I remain skeptical of a release date, but a delay of some sort or saying that the xbox 360 will see a version before us dieing PC gamers do...

I hope I'm wrong, truely!
