My favorite build? No build. I know I may sound like an ass, but after the "rough" ride with recruit I start to like the no skill build, well, from a challenging POV. The most mindless is pistol/heck/tech with master awareness; allow you to know where all the enemies are and you while enjoying plenty of offensive, defensive and hacking bonus: great for speed playthrough just for the story.

I would just say the game critics are just being unprofessional about the multi-national collaboration. If AP is release by EA/Beth/2k it would have a much better score. But hey, sales speak for themselves.

Agree, instead of the AI are dumb, I think it's the players who feel dumb by the smartness/realisticness of the AI! Now only if they behave more like original FEAR AI.....

Probably mentioned before, but: 1) All gadget to throw over cover while sticking to it. 2) Melee block for Mike 3) More final stage handlers

It is my understanding that Espionage includes sabotage .....which isn't spying nor stealth. Although as much as I would like the game to be like 5 GTA plus MGS for one epic length story, the current game mechanics makes sure the game have a constant pace forward and allow the players to go back just experience different play style. The AI isn't too bad, they just behave differently compare to other games; in fact, the guards are sharper in alert state compare to Metal Gear Solid. The other thing that make you find they random is because of the "critical aim" mechanics of the game makes it hard for the AI to deal with Mike effectively without grenades; and if you did invested in Stealth skills and upgrades, don't ask why the AI have a hard time trying to locate Mike: they should.

I think AP set a new standard for "Action" RPG. I mean, AP story responds really well to the player's play style and choice. ME's plot is too "moduler" to feel rewarding.

Basically, if you have fought Darcy, that's how a Engineer class should fight...it shouldn't be a fair fight As for using Shotguns, I rather invest in Resilience or Martial Art.
