So you got the console save system. You got the console style health system. To add insult to injury the game has and onscreen icon that shows you where the enemy's grenade is so you can dodge it. All this screams consolitis.
normally I would agree but the way the save system is implemented is perfect IMO. The game always returned me to a spot I would've saved at anyhow (It also says a lot about the quality of the product when I don't mind going back at all to play through a particularly difficult area). As far as the health system, I don't see it as a console feature, it removes the anxiety of watching your health bar and makes things much more intuitive. I would welcome this kind of system in any FPS from now on.
