Enemy placement is handled very well, and players will have to be especially careful not to let hidden baddies get the best of them. The level design in the bombed out Kosovo city level, watching out for enemy snipers in burnt out buildings, was intriguing. The standard variety of weapons can be found in John's arsenal. The small arm was to be the most fun to use. There are a few pistols and machine-guns, a shotgun, and a sniper rifle that will compose your arsenal for a good portion of the game.
Players can even resort to using some pretty wicked throwing knives.
A rocket launcher, large assault rifle, and of course an energy weapon come later, but quickly did I find them to be less fun than the starting weapons. Along with your guns you'll have an assortment of explosives and flash packs at your disposal. Throwing a flash pack into a room then charging in with your shotgun is usually very effective, not to mention fun. Overall though, the weapons and items are pretty standard fare. The most unique element of SOF is the visuals.
