Deus Ex: Human Revolution Preview

One new preview is available for Deus Ex: Human Revolution based on impressions made at the recent hands-on press-only event for Eidos Montreal's upcoming FPSRPG, from Cheat Code Central.
Although it was an early build of the game and the AI still had its quirks, enemies can be quite unrelenting if you don't devise a plan within a matter of moments. This is where the environment also plays a role in your survival, in addition to how you maneuver in cover. There was a moment where I entered into a room containing four enemies, two on patrol and two babbling to each other in the center. As I burst in "guns blazing", I instantly killed the two standing in the middle of the room and executed a quick slide maneuver to reach cover at a nearby desk. During this time the two on patrol instantly engaged me, and began to slowly creep forward while remaining slightly behind cover. Two other guards heard the commotion and began to storm the room; while luckily; I noticed a green canister had rolled over off of a desk. I took a quick shot at it as they ran in and an explosion of poisonous gas filled the immediate area, killing all but one who was almost upon me.
