You'd expect.

Okay someone find a video showing someone balancing a pencil on its point  
to illustrate the difference between possible and bloody difficult.

Unless you play it the way the game tells you to. 'Go and find that squad  
by the sawmill' so off you go then it's 'incoming from the water towers'  
what bloody water towers? What, you mean you didn't memorise that map on  
the desk back in the base?

Just annoying, repetitive and boring. Hey look it's a Strider, oo and  
another, and another, and another, and another, and another, and another,  
and another, and oh wait we're done. Nope silly me here's another Strider,  
and another, and another, and another, and another. Gee wasn't that fun?
