That's really more like Call of Duty difficulty. You die faster, so you just stay in cover longer. There's no consequences for going crazy, like in previous games, where taking a single hit meant a lot more. Here, you can just power through without thinking about it. The special abilities also break the game, specifically when playing as Michael.
