    Would love to see that feature back - weapon jamming and degradation ...

    Made gun fights way more immersive.

    It really forced adaptation, thats what I loved about it. It made it so that you couldn't get complacent using the same tactic over & over (unless you were consistently swapping out your gun). I did think it wasn't balanced well enough & that in general weapons degraded too quickly, it should have been more of a rare issue than a constant & pervasive one. There should have been more ways to deal with it than having to hoof it to a gun shop & get a replacement, but some of the most memorable moments I can recall from my time with the game involved a weapon jamming on me and having to adjust my plan on the fly. No shooter really forces that to happen anymore...

    Hahaha, the logic is sound my man, gold is one of the most dense metals there is! A gun made of gold would weigh over 80 lbs!

    Metro Exodus isn't even out yet, so I can't really say if it provides the same sort of thrill. I've not played any of the metro games but that one looks pretty sweet so I'll probably be giving it a try....

    I am playing Metro 2033 redux because it's so realistic but i'm not sure how long i will keep playing given the fact that enemies are mostly monsters.
    If 4A would make something that takes place in the woodlands or similar area and had human enemies - that i would probably buy.

    The monster enemies, the setting and the weapons being all makeshift & old-timey is sort of why I never got interested in the Metro games. That exodus vid from E3 though piqued my interest, even if we are fighting mutants, I'll give it a shot. I think I already have it in my gamefly queue...
