Though set outdoors, it feels like close-quarters combat much of the time. They'll play dead and wait for you to walk into the middle of a trap. In the game, Japanese soldiers swarm out of the brush, erupting out of spider holes to charge straight at you in an attempt to run you through with their bayonets.
