SPOILER>> EARLY GAME.... MULTI SHOT.............get into group away from them multi shot and let no one near.. Use fast peeps to get close - shot guns 15. -- Then Commando's - get em to rush in 1 or 2 will do it
I am about 14 days in on hardest setting restarting after WG on mid level. I have a lot of stuff I do not need. As It takes So much of the 3 resources to build things, why is there not a 'BIN' you can de-construct items you no longer need to get resources? All the Items need the 3 items so destruct/construct = same so destruct items say - 50% and use the rest for new Items or research. This is a society (if it is that?) devoid of most resources. When you have a bunch of bases alowed to use base resorces, that are relient on re-cycling, i'ts a bit silly that you can't recycle the stuf you find?
Why don't you just order from play.com in the UK? They do a good deal for collectors edition at £18 and they will do air mail to you for another few quid - you should get it in a few days.
Your post started of quite negative and then.......Sounds like its open ended enough for you to have a lot of fun - I tell you it will grow. I am having a night off after 6 days & 60 -80 hours of it . For me, best game for a long , long time ........
I must slowdown myself in this game. I have played about 80 odd hours since loading it up on Sunday night. It is the most addictive game I have played for some time. I work from home and this week I have done almost Zilch. That little ufo icon keeps urging me to 'click' and then its several hours later. I am normally very good at saying enough is enough but with this I just gotta do another mission! Last game that done this to me was War in the Pacific ( a hardcore grognards game) and I still put in 4 or 5 hours a week on that, but not this week.
Thats a nice touch making units and monsters behave according to time of day. Any Idea at what time they go home for dinner? That way I might catch them snoozing after some roast Human or whatever it is they eat
Sound card driver conflict? Are you using a creative card? Firewall or other system tray prog? Antivirus prog? Try underclocking your graphics card that can help sometimes on this sort of thing.
In a mission if a squad member drops ammo on the ground it will sometimes vanish before another member can pick it up. Also Changing 5.56 ammo whilst in a mission from FL type to Normal can crash the game when you unload a weapon.
