Well, execution streaks were a main focus in previous combat. I can change my playstyle, but that doesn't change how the combat system is built. ACU's combat system is designed to be less repetitive, and it encourages you to use different moves to beat the opponent.

@Kain, I mostly agree about the camera. Guns can be a challenge, and can be annoying. I'd prefer if there were less guns blazing in combat, but I don't think they ruin the experience. As for the indicators, the health bar should flash gold when somebody is about to strike, though I heard some people had bugs with that. Still, enemies at higher levels (like at the military camp) pretty much always rage like maniacs before attacking, so that is also some kind of an indicator.
