The gang members you'll fight, called the Burners, aren't fleshed out quite so well, though, and their hockey masks make them almost indistinguishable from each other. But their constant, varied taunts and threats - usually consisting of Mason's name followed by a string of profanity - make them seem like real, vicious people with something to prove. And while they act pretty dumb at first - plenty of them charge at you like idiots, or just stand out in the open and shoot - a few are actually good at staying behind cover and dodging your fire. This unpredictability, along with their habits of attacking in groups and popping up out of nowhere, makes them almost frightening.
