1 had actual combat too.
2's is a bit improved, but not like a huge amount.
The stealth and shooting mechanics are still nowhere near MGSV's imo, but they are slightly improved over the first games.
Melee combat is the most fun imo.
It does scratch kind of a similar itch to MGSV, but just don't expect the stealth and shooting mechanics to be on the same level.
There's a ton of gadgets and tools that are fun to use so infiltrating and taking out bases can still be fun and creative.

Throwing packages at thieves, and choking terrorists out was entertaining.
There's just a little too much hitstop, and slo-mo.
Fighting BT's on the other hand (on a standard delivery) is boring shit.

The combat is fun as fuck. Removing MULE brawls would genuinely drop the game from 10/10 to 8/10.
