Now when playing in Survival Mode, you won't ever want to go on the highway past the cave that leads to Hushed River Valley, because it won't bring you to the plane. What they could have done is just simply keep the map the way it was, and added the automatic snow storm at the beginning of Episode 1, until you reached Grey Mother's House.ДЄgain, just because they wanted to change the difficulty around doesn't mean that they should have removed what had made the map so interesting in the first place. Yet the extreme coldness still can oush you right into the 10's in condition by Grey Mother's house or worse. Imagine if they had made the boxed clothes frozen like in the original start.people would be dropping like flies!Д«Ut your jacket, the socks, gloves, vest you find are all not frozen and you can use them right away. The path is simple.but the effects of the cold are much more than capable of making up for it. While the path and it's intensity has been 's dangerousness has actually stayed the same.and perhaps even become more difficult for some players. (I played the start over and over to test different ways of doing it) and died in half of the attempts! The start is surprisingly difficult even with good planning. It's actually showing how dangerous the cold can be in that it's showing the cold is just as dangerous as the wildlife! Not only is it colder but you can get mystery sprains and flat out die before you make it to Grey Mother's because of both! The initial Story Mode was hard for beginners who had to get past the wolves on the highway and next to the church, but now all you do is climb up and down, the only danger being how cold it is (which is intentional of course for the sake of Story) How is the new Milton harder then it was before? You now go straight from the plane to the town- it used to be that you would have to go on the highway and go past the church. I'm not sure you understood my initial point.

I'm saying that it's a lot easier now for Story Mode, and a lot less interesting for Survival Mode gameplay.
