Don't play this game on hard

[Shellshock]

It takes +10 bullets to kill a single UNARMORED enemy. This is BS.

Well, I played it on normal and the unarmored took only 1 bullet on the head
Then I played on hard, the first armored with helmet took 2 bullet on the head

I have no idea how you are playing, but don't shoot at the chest ;)

It take just one bullet in a head from heavy pistol for a helmet person. And about 4 for a bit more hardcore one. In fact, even with enormous spray, this game is way too easy on hard. I barely dies even without cover. They had to add several difficulties on top of it. And first setting to up should be reaction time of the enemies. Next one -- player's armor and regeneration factor (low that).

Learn to read and understand what you have then read. There is a difference between a game being hard and the enemies being bullet sponges. I don't find games such as this hard, but rather annoying.

I just finished the game on hard. And compared to the normal playthrough I noticed no difference how many bullets and enemy takes to die. But I myself took way less bullets until death. All enemies without helmets took only 1 bullet out of my pistol, with helmets I needed 2 bullets (not counting all those heavy)

Huge difference with all the heavies, those where you must shoot special parts (on the back). They took way more bullets on hard than on normal. But I don't see that as a problem.

Well, guards have bulet proof vests, and one headshot kills them if theyrea re not wearing helmet. So they are not strictly speaking a bullet sponges, and its way worse when you can kill enemy by shooting his knee! gladly it does not happen here.

One headshot does not kill a Monarch guard, test it yourself on Act 2 escaping the lab, they are bullet sponges plain and simple.

I just beat the game on hard headhots or shooting the pack of some guards is how you kill them besides using your powers which help if you collect the chron skill points.

Go hard or go HOME! If you think you are having problem now try the final boss fight in ACT 5 part 3.

Just did test it for myself on Hard. One shot to the head took down the unarmored, two/three (Not sure whether I missed the head or got 'em in a tougher part) on the helmets.

you just aren't good. I completed it on hard, stoned out of my mind, with no crosshair, and using a gamepad. and i don't even have teenager reflexes anymore.

Always playing on hardest. Modern games on hardest are easier than old ones on medium. Just land good headshots.
