pThere’s a lot of cover-based shooters out at the moment But when a guy hunkers down behind something, you’ve just got to sit there and wait for him to pop his head up. Pops up, couple of bullets to his head, pops back down again … and I’m waiting for him to pop back up again? F***ing boring. I can’t be bothered hanging around like that./p

pYou know, last night I was in Borderlands. While its enemy AI leaves plenty to be desired, it is a cover-based shooter. And I noticed that my aggregate gameplay hours are about four more days than I’ve spent in Black. There are tons of boring FPSes out there. But it’s not because of the cover mechanic.br
