@@Legatron17 Ever consider that you guys are the fuckin' weird ones? XD Firstly, the skill-gap between a controller and mouse and keyboard is just insanely large for this game, it's like a whole different game. Console Aim Assist on Eternal actually works to the player's detriment most of the time, targeting centre-mass instead of heads or weakpoints, the ability to quick-switch to 3 or 4 different weapons in the space of a few seconds is just not something we can do on consoles, so yeah, despite what you say, while it isn't 'as' hard as TAG1, TAG2 on Nightmare is still fuckin' brutal for somebody like me.
