I take your point on Restarts. The good thing about the procedural generation is that it’ never exactly the same, so you can’t just walk the mission like it was Edge of Tomorrow. Even so, you get a feel for the optimal tactics on the map with each successive playthrough, so you will generally trend towards ‘Better than Good’.
Of course, if people are truly save scumming as you describe in parentheses, the computer will think you are a genius and react accordingly.
All I’m saying is that myself and Pr8Dator have both stated that we usually play ‘HonestMan’ (though I did Restart my last Lair Assault - see above) and we don’t seem to be experiencing the same level of swarming that others have complained of.
UV, it would be really good if someone from PP could chip in here and let people know whether constant scumsaves and restarts does adversely tip the game scales.
