IA! Combat

I am curious to know what the 'combat' in the game will be. Is it cover-to-cover you get shot a few times and die combat, or you can take a million bullets because your Gordon Freeman combat? And is the game featuring exclusive gunplay, or are there melee weapons/assassinations/incapacitations/injuries?

Most likely a mix between the two. While IA! is not meant to be a realistic game, being required to use cover to survive better adds more depth to combat. I can't yet say to what extent, though. That we'll find out once there is enough to test it with.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't it also depend on how you decide to play the game?

The whole customizable characters bit could, for example, let you choose between:
- A high-damage, low-health precision-elmination character that can take-down behemoths but has to utilize cover to not get blown-away by swarms of underlings.
- A high-health, medium-damage character that can give and take hundreds of bullets, but can barely keep-up with elites and can't out-damage mini-bosses.
- A low-health, low-damage character that can utilize support functions or bypass enemies and rush objectives.
