Playing on the realistic difficulty changes the behaviour of the AI and their durability very early in the game. On any of the other difficulty settings, you would expect opponents with helmets only near the end of the game, instead you'll encounter them as early as in level 3 (Fort).

In short, you can expect enemy headshots to be one-hit kills (even with armor!), you take exponentially more damage upon body shots, allowing you to die in no more than three of four shots. Armor is key to survival, but ultimately provides almost no additional cover, being an extension of your healthbar rather than anything else.

Lastly, enemy AI will much more quickly resort to using different strategies, calling in additional help (armed helicopters, land vehicles, boats) and using 'smart' hiding spots and routes to flank you when multiple mercenaries are available.

► TIPS & TRICKS

Never run and gun on this mode, it means instant death even at the very first camp in the game.
Always pick up body armour. This is the case on every difficulty, but especially on realistic, as it marginally (but surely) decreases your visibility, and stops most body shots from ripping you apart in seconds.
Lay low and hide in bushes almost 100% of the time. Mercenaries will almost never notice you on sight when doing so, and allows you to sneak from any direction.
Use of the single-shot firing mode on the rifles in the game allows for precise shooting from further distances. Make good use of this on the realistic difficulty.
Land vehicles, like the jeep or buggy, and armed boats are your friends. They allow for easy kills from large distances with rockets and miniguns. In contratry, mounted miniguns on the ground are a death wish, avoid them as they generally expose you in wide-open areas.
Detonate most explosive barrels if you can, to eliminate multiple enemies at a time.
Avoid using your flashlight when possible, it is too noticeable. Use your binoculairs to register enemy positions, this is of extreme importance on realistic. Use smoke grenades and flashbangs in small corridors to easily ambush and kill multiple mercenaries.
The silencer MP5 and the shotgun are your best friends. Use these to silently take down enemies, or blast away the trigens.
Patience is everything. It's what, in the long run, will allow you to beat every level. Muscle memory is going to be of high importance, knowing most enemy spots beforehand can give you a huge advantage.

► LEVEL TIPS

Archive introduces a brand new trigen, one that it immediatly pits you against as soon as you enter the room next door. These are, contrary to what you might expect, not harder than any of the previous trigens. In fact they're pretty weak. Their main skill is having the ability to cloak entirely, so you can't see them except with binoculairs or nightvision. Using either of these, although preferably nightvision, is highly recommended, because even though they're weak they can still deal quite a lot of damage with their default silenced MP5's.

However, FAR more concerning in this level, and for the first time, you'll be faced with enemies that have nightvision against you. The large foggy container area near the middle and end of this level are absolutely mind-boggling. It's insane. Don't bother killing all enemies if you're not required to (you are, sadly enough, required to kill the rocket launcher dude at the first area for the keycard). Especially at the last part, use the fat boy in the middle as a distraction to quickly drop-down the crate and simply escape. Oh, you can try, but you'll tear your hear out, unless you cheat.
