I remember this tactic being especially effective. For all their hard shells, they've got brains like... lobsters Unfortunately I just got around to build my first M.C. lab, so it's going to be months before I develop sufficient M.C. skills to rely on it to work. Once it does however, bases become somewhat easier as you can have quite a few those lobsters fight it out amongst themselves before putting your men at risk.

I can run it but it doesn't play very well. Sometimes it's superspeedy(don't ask me to use Turbo or crap like that, I won't) or uncontrollable, etc. I was able to run it ok with DOSbox a while ago but I don't like it. Is there a version built for XP, like on a CD or something? There was a special windows 95 version released quite a while back. I was lucky to find one in a bargain bin. Together with a "hack" (actually, a loader for the main exe file) from the net which also has to be run in compatibility mode and WDMSound it runs nicely on Windows XP Pro SR2 Edit: Come to think of it, it might not have been bargain bin. Darn, It's too long ago >_

Fascinating. The seeming scale of the picture looks like they have gotten these down to a managable size now. Wish they would have discussed the power generation/consumption of the gun and how frequently it can be fired. You probably need a portable nuclear reactor to power it

Still playing X-Com2: Terror from the Deep Gathering enough courage to assault the first of three discovered alien bases :ph34r: Somewhere, deep down in my mind I just dread doing that. Memories from a time long ago when playing it tells me that it's going to be hard the first couple of times... Endless lobstermen, floating brains, enemy blast launchers. My poor aquanauts :'(

Been there, done that. Female Nosferatu are hot

Hanging

You would love Singapore They have the death penalty for carrying firearms.

It's still better than the new trilogy ^_^

Maybe it's spamming on behalf of youtube?

The last terror mission I tried I moved my first soldier to the top of the ramp and before he could do anything there was a grenade inside my ship. That was a horrible, horrible mission. It happens on occasion. The real fun starts once you get the "blast" thing with programmable flight patterns. You can literally level the entire area with the ground and remove any walls they might be hiding behind. It is also nice for making new entrancens in alien UFO's if there isn't enough doors already.

It's a pain, yes But usually, equipping the first guys out of the plane with a flare or two helps. Throw the in a pattern around your insertion area to light up the place and then move the rest of your team out, hugging whatever cover you can find. I've tried to use motion trackers, but in the end, I just team up my men in pairs or trios and clear out an area at a time. Edit: If in doubt, throw handgrenades over a few rooftops and through windows first. The odd civilian casualty is inconsequential.

X-Com2: Terror from the deep Grrr!... I had forgotten how much I hate lobster men. And I can't field any guys with sufficient psi powers yet to force them to fight against each other. USA and Japan has withdrawn from the project and I'm threatened with bankruptcy if I don't bring my debt below 2 million before next month. This game really does seem harder than the first one. (xcom apocalypse is still my favourite though)

Except that pasta and antipasti frequently meet, given that antipasti (or antipasto) is Italian for Hors d'

Anything you can do about that one? Newer/better drivers available for your card?

Pessimist or no, I just can't imagine the Fallout "feel" recreated on the Oblivion engine... It's like opposites that meet, matter - antimatter, pasta - antipasta etc. :'(

And only 156 issues (of minor or less severity) left, an alltime low :cool: Give those beta testers a good kick and make them run faster

I can't even be bothered to look those things up on google to see what it is

They are called "Security Contractors". A flattering name for mercenaries and hired killers Check the "Soldier of Fortune" magazine...

The T1000 corporation...

^_^ Edit: Iirc, you get xp points for it.

Are you using the hi-res textures? Nope. Unless some are included in the 1.03 patch. The GFX card on the computer I'm using could be the problem but it never gave me any problem before. I don't think it has all the features of normal gaming card like shaders and stuff. But I can still run Oblivion and pretty mcuh everything else. I don't know, it's wierd. It was just because you mentioned that it ruined your saved games. I remember someone, although not exactly who, hinted at a link between the corrupt save feature and running with highres textures

You and Hades/Visc/Sand/Whatever should start a support group where you cold talk about that particular awful experience :D

Are you using the hi-res textures?

I'm sure there must be laws to protect people against that gunk in other countries :ph34r:
