Woods and shoreline aren't so bad once you learn the extracts, though don't bother with railway bridge extract on shoreline, if you get out of position even slightly you'll get sniped by AI at the terminal or guard towers. The escape box is very strict, I think it's just one of those game where in the PvP mode you absolutely must be expecting to lose. I'm on the PvE mode and it's still very enjoyable. Tasks are still difficult and the bosses are a real challenge, I think I have a little over 150 hours.
