I will make this short, but while playing Uncharted 3 last night I couldn't help but feel as if the combat was better in 2...at least I didn't feel as constricted at hit with bullshit was I feel I am in 3. Heavy soldiers are one of the tropes or archetypes I'd like gaming to drop, especially for a game series like Uncharted. When you are surrounded on all sides by RPG dudes, regular dudes, shield dudes, and then heavy dudes with armor...it makes for a completely disjointed and not fun experience in comparison to the amazing set pieces, story, and acting the game delivers.
