I was able to attack and take one down, and I would be okay if the other dude just didn’t notice. You begin this part of the game by ambushing two guards mid-patrol.

I could give you a ton of examples, but my favorite happens when you’re in France for the first time. Topping that list would have to be the non-playable character AI, which is just not good on any level. To name a few, the AI is flat out dumb, the stealth system is unbalanced, the controls feel like I am fighting Robert for control, the voice acting has issues, and the list goes on. Unfortunately, there is very little point in complaining about an annoying main character when faced with such a large number of technical issues. Without turning this into novel I’ll simply tell you that I found Robert Hawkins personally insulting on multiple levels. I know how this works.” Yes, that’s a line he says in this game, and yes he has that same smugness that most male characters have in videogames. This is the point where I really wanted to complain about how the main character can instantly start doing any job (like soldiering or radio broadcasting) just because he can say to other people that, “I’m a writer. The closest Robert gets to reporting on the war is setting up a pirate radio station during the introductory cut scene so that he can tell everyone that war is hell.

That said, I never saw Robert actually write anything down. In Enemy Front you play as Robert Hawkins, a war correspondent who decided that the best way to get the story he wants is from the front lines so Robert spends all of World War II going from country to country and signing up with any resistance group that will have him.
