Hope you've saved up enough ammunition...you're gonna need them for these [[That One Level|particularly aggravating]] first-person shooter levels.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
* While several levels in the original [[Time Splitters]] could be ridiculously hard, special mention goes to 'Mansion'. Two-thirds of the enemies carry shotguns which can kill you from halfway across the house in one shot in Hard Mode, as well as the fact that enemies can literally appear out of thin air, and [[Check Point Starvation|there are no checkpoints]]. Seeing as the timed secret can be unlocked in at least ELEVEN minutes, the people at Free Radical were aware of what they had created.
* Most of ''[[Time Splitters]] 2'' is straightforward arcade-style action, and that's part of the reason why the NeoTokyo level is so universally loathed. The first half of the stage involves following a baddie back to her gang's hideout without her or any of the numerous security cameras noticing you. It doesn't help that she strolls along at a snail's pace, and that getting noticed for even a second means starting the whole damn level over again.
** You want a level that is really hard in that game? Try "[[Nintendo Hard|Atom Smasher]]" on Normal or Hard. Playing this level on any of those difficulties is equal to playing "Mansion" in [[Time Splitters]] but almost worse. There are snipers everywhere, hardly any health or armor, henchmen wielding [[AKA-47|Soviet S47s]] and [[Hollywood Silencer|silenced pistols]] that can chew through your armor (if you have any), checkpoints that are few and far between, sentry guns with cameras (on one occasion you have to destroy one up close), and short detonation times<ref>You have to defuse some bombs during this level, usually by having a scientist defuse one nearby</ref> means you'll be bald after completing the level after so many damn times. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20170224194122/http://tsmusicbox.com/music/ts2/Atomsmasher.mp3 BGM] for this level means "You are [[Oh Crap|screwed]]."
* Time Splitters: Future Perfect has the "The Hooded Man" level. In the last part, you must protect {{spoiler|your past/future/whatever self}} from 'Splitters till he gets inside a base. This is during the middle of a firefight. You have the high ground to rain death on them. Sound easy? They cloak on and off predator-style and zig zag. When they get close to {{spoiler|'you'}}, they do high damage jumping slashes. You'll notice one coming and mow him down, only to then see 2 tearing {{spoiler|'you'}} a new asshole. On hard difficulty, this part is infuriating.
** Not to mention that as well as the enemies being cloaked for a lot of the time, they're a similar colour to the environment anyway, and on the last part of the level they're very far away even with the sniper scope zoomed in.
Line 256 ⟶ 255:
* [[Tron 2.0]]: The tank gauntlet on the Antiquated Server. Jet must run through a gauntlet of tanks that are read-only (you can't shut them down) and indestructable (you can't destroy them). So, not only are you having to run and jump through a glitching obstacle course with tanks shooting at you, the tanks will occasionally and randomly ''shoot out the very ground you stand on.''
