Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Guards radio for backup on scripted triggers, not adaptive tactics

Bulletstorm
Arenas and spawns are fixed and learnable
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Alert timers and item pickups create some hidden-state tension
Optimization6 vs 7
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
