Following on from the first chapter, the second  promises an increased enemy variety, and then clearly delivers. Though it tells little of the specifics of the mutants (calling it right now, they'll get a video all of their own not too far down the line) it does give it brief, but detailed, overview of the various Human factions. Also giving suggestions about how to deal with said enemies, such as blowing out oil lamps and shooting out bulbs. Features that were in the first game. Then offering further suggestions new to the franchise, such as shooting out the torches of enemies and sabotaging fuse boxes.

With a voiceover that speaks to you as a new recruit, commenting on everything as though for a real briefing, Deep Silver are clearly aiming to create an experience with as much immersion value as possible. Only time (and final release) will tell for certain, but with May 17th rapidly approaching, everything we're seeing strongly suggests they will not only achieve their goal, but wildly exceed it. Check out the video, there's a lot more there besides what I've already covered, but a true Ranger learns for himself. If you want me to hold your hand you are not cut out to be a Spartan.
