Thanks Kret, making these unavaliable sounds like a good idea, ill gave a dabble!

yes, i just wanted to remove some of the more powerfull weapons in the game such as the reticual launcher and the collapsable MG's. In my oppinion the whole game changed at this point when these weapons started to appear. I liked the close combat feel of the game before this. Once these heavy weapons start to appear the sstrategy and tactics start to go out of the window a bit when you can just deploy a heavy MG and gun everything down from distance. Also sometimes the reticulans give you no chance when they are all armed with launchers and let you have it from the mission start! cheers Hambo

Just about to start aftermath again for 2nd time and for me, the game was near perefect until the collapsable machine guns and reticulan rocket launchers became available. Can it be modded to remove these. I tried something myself but it caused the game to crash on loading.. cheers

THanks for that. Confirms what i was thinking myself really. Reinstalling aftermath as we speak..!

Ive done aftermath and went straight on to afterlight which im nearing completion. Is it worth getting afterShock? I base management of afterlight is excelent but it is let down i feel by the combat missions, which is the best bit Aftermath was the opposite but its much better combat missions made it a better game for me. Im tempted to get aftershock to complete the set but ive heard its not too good and buggy. What to do?

ok, what about this one. scenario: ememy is in a corridor and im behind door at end. i open it and spot him, let of a few rounds then sidestep left behind the wall. next move i sidestep 1 step to 'peep out' and shoot him, simple! however he gets 1st shot in and empties his heavy machine gun into my man and kills him outright.

or round a corner or go up/down stairs. If you enter a room and there is an enemy in there, they just open fire on you and depending on what weapon they have can take you straight out.

Both ways work a treat! takes a bit of time with the knife mind but does the job perfectly! Thanks Hambo

Ah, yes, of course! Ill try it when i get home! New to SS, been playing UFO, not used to this level of detail cheers Hambo

Im on a mission where by u have to get into an enemy base (ist mission after 1st britain ones!). The only way in seems to be to walk all the way round to the front and go through the main gate. In real life i would just snip a hole in the wire fence and sneak through but there doesnt seem to be any cutters and you cant climb over it, except for blow a hole in it with a massive grenade which alerts all and sundry..
