Keyes

The second to the last mission, Keyes. Y'know, the game is getting more interesting the deeper into the game I get. I just wish it didn't start getting good in the last three missions. Even though there are some things I am appreciating about the game, there are most certainly things that I am finding endlessly frustrating. One of those things is fighting my way deep into a base or area and then having to fight my way out again. Another is, it feels like there are areas in the game where chance plays a large role. Finally, the checkpoint system feels random and unevenly spaced. I came across all of those things in this mission.

I had to backtrack to escape the enemy ship which required me to fight my way through a corridor filled with enemies. Every approach resulted either in me getting through or at the mercy of thrown grenades. I didn't know what strategy to take, whether I was supposed to throw grenades, shoot my way through, allow the two warring factions fight amongst themselves or what. Ultimately I just kept dying until I had the right combination of things happened that allowed me to get past. Once I got past I had to travel a significant distance before the checkpoint appeared. I died so many times and had to restart that section over twenty minutes before everything worked in my favor. I did keep my cool, but I would have rather not had to go through that.

Also, I don't know what is going on with the story. How did Keyes get turned into a victim of the flood or the...whatever it is I'm fighting?
