Since this game is little more free structured I have trouble understanding how to play sometimes.

For example I solved the situation on top of the carrier (killed all the bad guys). Went to get in the small boat, and somehow I missed it. Outside the ship I couldn't find a way back in. So I just decided to go back to the last checkpoint. Is this what I should have done? Haven't been able to resolve the deck since. lol

Also is there a way to confirm the game I am playing is set to "easy"? I thought that is what I did, but gee this seems really hard compared to something like half-life 2. I spend almost all my time respawning.

Its an adventure.

You can easily get back into the carrier by climbing a cargo net. This game is based upon actions that trigger other actions. In Carrier, you must find the small room that has one merc and sends you to a cut scene. There is info on the table about Val. The game allows you to be inventive. If you've completed the required tasks, and you've fallen off the ship, then you can still get to the boat high over head. Ususally chains are shootable.
If you just can't work your way through, there is a thread at the very beginning "Start here" that has a walkthrough. The walkthrough is in 2 parts. The first part is a physical description of each level, containing all of the AI locations, weapons, inventory, etc. The second part has suggested solutions to each level.
Good luck.

Is there any way to "dumb down" the AI? Sure, doesn't seem 'Easy'.

Once you get used to it.. you'll be fine. Also shoot the chains holding the boat then it drops then you jump in it.

***SPOILER***

The boat is next to the area with the two chainswing bridges that you can shoot out. Face left, and you'll see a rubber raft. Shoot the chains holding it in place, then jump from the boat, and hop in, then head to the East to end the level.

hmmmm
I guess my hint: "Ususally chains are shootable." wasn't obvious enough ;-)

Mebbe it was.. he hasnt come back..
