Not content with getting Barry mangled, you stole his AR too - maybe before it even hit the ground! I guess you clumsily pressed RB twice, thus getting the AR unintentionally. Are you in the habit of mashing RB or something?

Of course, there was also some discontinuity going on (not that I'm worried). After the title, Barry was in a different location, and when you eventually dismounted, your AR was full and you had no frags, different from before. I guess your puzzlement over the pistol was during your first play, which you later rejected. Then to set up a new play, I'm guessing you splattered Barry with the hog to simulate his previous accident. But how come you didn't arrange to have your AR ammo and frag count the same as before?

Definitely a good thing to cut back on the pistol. But in this episode you used the AR too long it might be said. After killing a few Grunts to the side, there were plasma pistols and needlers available, and they make a great combination which I hope you'll keep in mind for the future. You can take down a Jackal shield with a plasma ball, then send in a stream of needles to get a good bang. I think it would be nice if Woaf 117 cottoned on to that tactic - and I'd welcome more needler use generally. It makes for a massively more entertaining kill (both visually and aurally) than boring old pistol fire or - worse - AR peppering from distance. If you're going to use the AR, let's be drilling them up close! That's when it's fun.

Also I think he could do with more weapon switching, rather than having a tendency to keep plugging away with the same weapon, which is my impression over the episodes so far (is that fair?). Of course, we don't want to make him too sharp or he won't have so many problems! But still, it would make for more entertaining and varied action I think. And the whole game is based around the two-weapon system after all. Perhaps you could have a bit where he starts getting into combo work; and then after that we'd see it more often. Wouldn't mind seeing some stun and tag moves too!

Actually, theoretically you still had a needler from early in part 9. I don't know what your secondary truly was though; we frustratingly never saw it. Was that deliberate for some reason?

By the way, the "take a number, form an orderly queue" line was another contender for funniest bit.
