RO2 should be similar but easier (less clunky) and a bit faster pace than the classic.
Similar, and easier is good, but if its going to be faster pace then RO1 then it concerns me a great deal...If anything, RO2 should be slower or equal pace to RO1.
Unfortunately, one of the problems I see with devs of FPS games is that they compress actions that normally take 2-3 minutes to accomplish in RL down to 1 minute.
