Broken Quest
I'm currently trying to do the quest in the lesser zone where your tasked with going into the sphere and it seems impossible. Not only do the AI see me from impossible angles and through walls (even while crouched) but going loud and trying to fight my way in just endlessly spawns in enemies. Finally made it to the guy in the basement but then after the cut scene more endlessly spawning enemies showed up which I easily dispatched but then they blocked the door with their dead bodies. Couldn't pick them up, couldn't move them in anyway, couldn't run through the door, not even a grenade would work. Every time I try to do this quest stealthily I get spotted no matter what path I take. Am I missing something? I don't understand what I'm supposed to do here. Is this a bug or am I just dumb?

I'm usually quite tolerant to endlessly spawning enemies in my games, but situation in the Sphere is quite ridiculous. I don't even have time to loot the previous group before the new group spawns in.. I think I just need to try to run as fast as possible away from there and try not to get shot, but it doesn't bode well for the rest of the game.
Don't use stealth, just have to shoot your way out instead.

For bodies blocking the doors, that sounds like a bug. Try to load an earlier save and restart the mission again. On my playthrough I got lucky and didn't have bodies blocking like that.

To avoid the respawning enemies try to escape thru the back of the complex, heading out an open door at the North gate on the far East-side of the complex. The Orange Mission Waypoint markers should help guide you on your map as you get closer to the Northeastern exit.

I think the Sphere misions is optional the second time you get prompted to go there.
Only went the first time, and ignored the "radio transmission" the second time to go there.
Still on my first time there. Trying to get away from Solder. I think I'll leave the game for a time being, give it a time to get a couple of patches in.
First time around you get a keycode to enter through the underground. There is a pipe entrance on the left side near the entrance. That way you skip having to go through all those soldiers. Second time should be easier due to having better gear. Getting a rifle with at least a scope is considerable upgrade to not having one.
Getting in wasn't a problem (came trough the underground). Getting out is, as the underground passage is blocked.
And combat itself, isn't a problem (killed dozens of enemies trying to get out). The Spawn rate is.
