This happens in the last level of CRYSIS - scroll down for spoliers
regarding final fights



































































You fight 2 giant robots on the flight deck of a Battleship, and only
after finishing the fight on God mode did I find out you were supposed
to use your binoculars to highlight gun ports and weak spots on the
robots.  What made me incredibly angry was the fact you NEVER do this
at any other point in the game, and have no input from the game to do
it now.  I had to resort to god mode and infinite ammo and just
blasted away for the best part of an hour.
