You mentioned the map being very empty of enemy, but that's because they all ran to your position at the beginning when you were discovered. In my playthrough, I remained undetected through most of the map, and there were enemy patrolling all over the map.

That's what I figured was going on, but it seems like a wild overreaction on the AI's part. It's nice in a way to keep the pressure up but then the rest of the map gets drained of enemy forces, and if I wasn't alone, another operator would just have free reign lol.
