Combat's fine if you have a belt with massive smoke and/or stun grenade capacity and a quick sword. Throw a bomb, spam attack until the smoke clears, repeat until only you stand victorious. Muahaha.

Seriously though I'm a fan of the new combat; my "OMG I LOVE GOD MODE" side of me misses killstreaks, but quite honestly I like the increased difficulty - even if it can be made significantly easier with the technique described above it. The lack of killstreaks is also somewhat reminiscent of AC1 and AC2. But I definitely found myself sometimes wanting to be non-lethal and getting annoyed at the lack of fist-fighting as an option, or wanting to disarm an opponent.
