Yeah, that's the same way I play. It isn't nearly as fun if you run around and shoot guys while always in the 3rd person view, using auto-aim. That's for sissies.
Another thing I like to do, which makes the game a lot more challenging, is to try and beat the game without collecting any ammunition crates. Actually, I haven't gone that far, yet... but I am playing through it this one way that lazy suggested a while ago: you play Vela and Lupus's missions without collecting the ammo crates, then use Juno to get them, so you always have shitloads of ammo when you play as him.
It was pretty challenging to beat Vela/Lupus's levels without the crates (even though I ended up getting a few of them with Lupus, fearing that I wouldn't be able to kill the mantis duo boss with the bare minimum of ammo). It was still a lot of fun, though. You just have to be extremely conservative with your ammo, and be as precise as possible. Almost all the drones who die will give you more ammo, so it isn't <i>that</i> hard, but it's still a good idea to be super-conservative and get as many headshots as possible.
