The uruk ai is pretty line of sight exploitable also, you can just climb a wall and watch all their arrows turn yellow and then they walk away. Pretty cheesy.

I was not overly amused in MGS3 when you had to wait for 5 minutes for things to go back to normal after being spotted. At first I afk'ed and then it encouraged me to forego sneaking altogether and just run up to the next check points and die.

Yes, in like 12 hours of playing I have seen 2, and completed 1, neither from my friends lists. Not sure how it works yet. Its a pretty basic mission, just kill an Captain.
Yeah they don't appear to be people from friends list, just random PSN users. They also only worth 10power so I usually skipped them.

Doing the story quests can give power, you get 70 for warchiefs 2nd tier takes a while, 3rd tier I did not even notice I unlocked.

Not really that many, it comes pretty organically over time - I ground for the tier 2, the rest just "showed up" while I was doing other stuff.
Update: Just completed the game itself - final two bosses were joke level difficulty, felt out of place - other than that, complete A+ game amazing product we need more stuff like to develop on the concepts they started on here.
[Not Platinum though, got a few oddball things + last two Hunting targets for trophying to do - 90% listed ATM]
Played for 11 hours now. Still only done 4 main missions. Been focusing on grinding out the red missions for power. Not sure how many captains you can kill off before they repopulate, but had it down to a total of 5 left (including ratbag) when I died and 5-6 more added.
Unlocked tier 3 power, and one of the 2500 abilities. Aside from the swarms, I rarely have problems with the captains now, which is probably due to me not progressing the story. Not sure I've seen any vendetta missions, only ever killed my nemesis orcs.

It really stands out. It's been a while since we've seen some decent innovation in gaming. Can't really remember the last time a game impressed me so much. Maybe Bioshock Infinite, but mainly just the "Oooh, so *that's* why there's no saved games.".

It damn well better. And not just lip service like so many DS quotes were.
The system is phenomenal, 30 hrs played or so and only repeats of captains I got were still giving unique statements, think I got one repeat comment ever on a fleeing quote.
Anyone kill a captain multiple times and he keeps coming back? Killed one guy 3x before he was finally dead. I'm not complaining about it, each time he came back he said something funnier.
Captains don't respawn. If they come back, that means you didn't kill them. Haruk (or whatever his name is) tracked me 4 or 5 times before I got an execution ability and each time his appearance would become more gruesome (scars, bag over his head).
No, he was dead. The battle update showed him down with his name crossed out and "Killed." Each time he came back it was after I engaged another captain.
If a captain's body is lying on the ground in the "Sauron's army" menu, that means he has merely been defeated. If you see his head on a spike, that means he's been permanently dispatched. That's why they keep coming after you and many of them can track you and overwhelm you when you're trying to do other things. That's pretty much what the nemesis system is.
