A little thing that helped to make the gameplay experience a bit more immersive.

While I'm normally a "strictly co-op" girl, some of the vs maps and modes were surprisingly fun.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

Speaking of enemies, on the hardest difficulty the damage is tremendous, and only a few shots or melee hits are enough to destroy both your armor and health - Xenos are more evasive and may hit you from any side with their wall-climbing abilities, while PMCs take cover and use human weapons as expected.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Used to play it a lot, used to love it a lot, playing as an Alien in multiplayer was super fun...
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lore inconsistencies and recycled environments hurt immersion, but sound design and occasional set pieces capture the Aliens atmosphere to keep you hooked.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's also patches that greatly increase the difficulty level, finally putting it up to the level of a modern shooter.
