Is it just me, or is single player a bit too easy?

NOTE - I'm currently at level 10 (Semper Fi) so please no spoilers for this or later missions.

Half way through the game on Super Soldier and finding it's not much of a challenge.

The early stages were tricky while getting used to the mechanics until I realised you can simply stealth and walk past 90% of the battles. By the time you're forced to fight some Cell you have a sniper rifle, and can pretty much clear most levels with it from the starting point, especially with the large amounts of ammo around.

When the Ceph turned up it got even easier thanks to the silenced shotgun I found. I simply bought Covert Ops (no footstep noise) and nailed every single one in 2-3 shots, with the others hardly noticing.

I am enjoying it, but hope it gets a little tougher.

Remove your stealth key and set the game to super soldier. It is extremely easy to stealth through the game but really... you're ruining your own experience. Man up and stop hiding!

I thought the same thing and posted a thread nearly identical to this on the Xbox forums. It is easy, though the last part of the last mission is kind of annoying, but OMG impossible on Super Soldier.

Game is easy if you cloak the entire game. Even Supersoldier was a breeze with Nanon recharge and Stealth Enhance. but afterI passed it like that. I use Air Stomp, deflect, Covert Ops, and The one that tracks shots.

Play on veteran and is a perfect fit :P

The natural approach of the human mind is to make the easiest way top solve a problem, Why make something extremely hard on yourselves when you have the immediate option to make it incredibly easy?

if you use deflection, tracer, mobility enhance, and stealth enhance, its like your playing with infinite energy. you can run for so long while cloaked its rediculous

I was worried before release that stealth would be too OP in SP and it is. However, I enjoy killing all enemies as I go along for Catalyst and fun so didn't run through enemies. For a person, that doesn't want to kill enemies and runs the whole game in stealth then completing this game on any difficulty will be a breeze.

Thats why you see Tryhards, I don't like that word because it sounds complainish but its the only word I can think of, To them, Improvingon something is not using more and more difficult techniques to get kills, but rather getting more kills with the easiest techniques.

played it on supersoldier, killed every single enemy in the game, even waited for all the horribly placed respawn enemies. The game is fun if you make it hard on yourself. If you play it straight up , the game is a walk in the park. Easiest game I've played in awhile.

I personally love stealthing through the game, adds an intensity that can hardly be matched. Im not talking about stealthing around the edges, im talking about going through the enemies with it on and walking within five feet of them XD.
