everybody saying this is easy?......I keep getting slaughtered when you got to disable that radar thingy and its only on normal

People who say its easy are people who have played through it multiple times, if you play it on delta mode the first time its considerably harder since you dont know where everything is etc.

Saying that I would still prefer it slightly harder on delta mode.

i tryed it on the default toughness at first untill i took out the two guys standing by the red flare at the begining of the game, it was so easy i didnt even use a weapon.

so i put it on delta and still it was easy, you just got to use tatics, for example stealth into the enimy area then throw a red barrle somewhere and blow it up to destract them, then do what you need to do.

Yup i followed that tut, all i have is an all white default texture, it doesn't apply the green tex when you create the terrain. I think there something wrong with the editors install

Try the following:

Go to View - Toolbox (so it shows in the editor)
Click on Lightingmorning
Click on HDR

See if that shows your textures as the HDR may be overdoing it and making the ground appear white.

Has anybody killed them 2 guys by knocking the big tree logs down the hill? That was quite fun.

Theirs lots of different ways to kill your enemy which I like. Using the destructible scenery and the way you can attack the enemy from multiple angles.

My favourite is cloaking in behind them then taking them out one by one with a shot to head with the silencer on.

Loving crouching slowly in on stealth energy slowly going down then prone then silenced snipe to 2 or 3 especially in the command post steady away wins the day.

If i try go all Quake on them i get owned big style

Yeah I played about 5 or 6 times now trying different things, I like using vehicles and speeding up to theAI, jumping out last minute to make an entrance then shootin the place up lol.

Decisions, decisions. Do i stick with Vista, or do i risk installing XP to see if the performance is any different ! Hmmm.

Can I run this DX10 "hack" with XP 32bit or does it have to be XP 64bit?

32bit will do fine....basically it changes high to very high.
so put your graphics settings on high and your ready to go....you can still lower some if you like.
i have all mine on hig and shadows on medium.

Messing with the editor I loaded the multiplayer map & selected a big tank, dropped myself in & it fired what looked like a nuclear bomb?

yeah, that's all I can remember also - that's why I was a bit vague. If you didn't know what I was talking about then it's probably something you need to install!

EDIT: Just been looking around for it but can't find it now. I do remember it being on a page of tweaks (the link to the ms page) and think it was in this thread somewhere also!

are you guys talking about the vista patch which isnt on updates ?

*edit*

I've just had this running smoothly on a 1.4ghz single core amd (@1.8) with 1gb ram and a 512mhz 8500gt, ok it was at 800x600 and with low detail but it ran smoothly none the less, i was suprised it would even run to be honest.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 29 Oct 2007 at 16:07

Any-one know why the FPS performance goes down 50% in the cut scenes??

Souness · 29 Oct 2007 at 16:10

anyone think the enemies feel kinda wooden? you shoot them in the legs and they say "ahh" but they don't even flinch. when i'm spraying from a fair distance i have no idea whether i'm actually striking flesh until they keel over.

you dont have to go with the whole blow limbs off approach of SoF but they enemies here just feel lifeless even before they are dead. i'ts like shooting bags of sand on the range.

Also i think the level of detail of "medium" is not very well balanced at all. surely the textures should not be so bland and something else should not be so high? the popping up of new objects left right and centre, even stuff that isnt even that far away is fairly offputting too.

I really didn't find the gameplay all that fun :/.

I do know what you means about the AI, it is pretty poor, put a silencer on and take cover and you can shoot them for ages and they cant work out where your shooting, i had one enermy sprint past me and run the entire length of the beach from one end (near the laptop) to the jammer, there are problems with the AI in this game but for me its not a complete deal breaker.

I found the environment immersive and the gameplay hugely enjoyable, but if you werent getting headshots you did notice the flaws in the AI.

Well after some messing around the DX10 version is still pretty much unplayable for me, there DX9 version runs a treat.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 29 Oct 2007 at 16:28

Lol

Cloak Engaged + Choke + Uncloak (prediator Style) + Maxium Strength + Throw = Ownage
