I played through again, a fun game to play. I feel it is the cover system that lets it down in a big way though because you can die needlessly because of how this game has been coded and that is agitating. The movie camera camcorder view is an interesting take as if a third person is there recording it all go down so yes this is a third person game.
I played set on hard and enemies can take a longer period of time to die in their waves (mostly Chinese police and special-ops).
This game is a bit better to play overall than Dead Men so go out and get it.
