Love and miss single player DOOM?

Check out Hard Reset. Similar fast paced over the top FPS action only against machines instead of demons. Really good fun and only a tenner on Steam...

For any of you guys who have played Hard Reset, can anyone explain the radar upgrade thing? I upgraded a couple of them but I can't see where in the HUD I'm supposed to be able to detect the enemies?

Hard reset extended edition is the one I have. And yes it supports 21:9 natively.

Love System Shock 2.

Incredible voice acting and story development. Best played with a few mods, imo.

I've just downloaded System Shock 2. Never played it before. Can you recommend a few mods and where to get them?

It's been quite a while since I've modded it, and last time I did (around a year & a half ago), I used a mod (called Infinite) that I wouldn't recommend for your first playthrough - since it changes the original experience too much. It's a great mod, but perhaps for another time. Of course, it's up to you.

I don't quite have the time at the moment to give this the attention it deserves, but for now I'll drop in a couple of links so you can have a look around. I'm happy to help later on, but I won't be free until a bit later in the evening.

I do remember one mod which is highly recommended called SHTUP (no, I'm not being rude ):

A weapon texture pack is also a good mod to use; I forget it's exact name, but I'll dig it out later.

Awesome thanks. Appreciate it.

I would recommend wearing an old pair of boxer shorts or ideally playing it sat on the toilet

Oh? A few scares ahead then is there? I'll look forward to that... :cool:

No problem.

I just quickly dug up an old thread on it as well. Mod talk starts around near the bottom of the first page.

Thanks again. I've downloaded the SS2Tool with the patch and mod manger and have successfully installed the SHTUP-ND mod. Look great and supports 3440x1440 resolution too! Sweet!

Going to resist actually playing it until I finish one of the other games I'm playing at the moment (Mass Effect 3, Beyond Good & Evil, Mad Max, Alien Isolation, Hard Reset & Jedi Knight Jedi Academy). That's about the maximum I can play at any one time without dropping a game I've found.

Man this Hard Reset game is really intense and proper hard once you get a to some of the later levels!!

Can anyone who has played this explain how the enhanced perception mode and radar works - is it in the hud somewhere? The action is so fast paced I can't tell...
