I heard that, the Matrix rework for Hong Kong is annoying as balls. Turns out that Metal Gear "avoid the sight cones" stealth mechanic and isometric click-the-map movement isn't really a great combination, who knew? I always punt and just try to set off the alarm as fast as possible. Once all the ICE is dead, it's so much easier to move around the system. :)

I haven't run up against a time-limited Matrix run yet, though, apart from the one in the Ares office, where you have something ridiculously lenient like 15 rounds to get the job done. Not looking forward to that...
