Also, it was frustrating that fighting a big daddy is a nearly certain death sentence (perhaps multipel times) unless you found some way to kite-kill it.
Both of those things are purposeful design decisions and mirror its spiritual predecessor (System Shock); ADAM is especially tight if you are going the "Rescue" route. That being said, ammo is still pretty plentiful (past Neptune's Bounty, I never really has a problem on the medium difficulty; on easy (which I'm doing for a quick replay), its never an issue)).
