Originally posted by JustinZyme I know there's a bias here against consoles, but since I work in a game store I play games on all platforms, and it's a sad state of affairs out there, let me tell you. The majority of what sells seems to be overhyped fluff like Vice City, Splinter Cell, and The Sims. Games that make you think, or challenge the way you look at the world just don't move, which is why Doom III will beat the snot out of DX2 in sales. I'm looking forward to Doom too, but if I had to choose to play just one, either DIII or DX2, it's DX2 without a doubt. I can't agree you more. :thumb: As I often commented, less and less young people of this gerneration (though I am not that old...;) ) are into games, books, movies, or any type of media, that require them to think, ponder, and learn. I just came back from a "family reunion" of my university (roughly euivalent to fraternities in American colleges) yesterday. It was very sad when I ask my lowerclassmen, "Do you play, or even know, computer games other than CounterStrike, Age of Empire series, WarCraft 3, Diablo 2, and MMORPGs like Lineage?" They stared at each other, and no one could answer my question. :mad:
OK, back to the topic.... I replayed the Gas Station rescue scene several times, and found out there's no need to jump in from the roof. Just open the door and lob a gas granade.

I didn't exactly 'jump' on the roof. Instead, I activated Speed Aug (at least 2 pips) and ran right off the other gas station building (which had a higher roof), and the speed aug allowed me to land onto the roof without making enough noise to set off the alarm. Then I dropped in from the top (crouched so I won't be seen), and lobbed a gas grenade. I'm playing the GOTY version so there was only 1 MIB and regular trooper.
I have a habit of knocking out MIBs using gas grenade >> tranq dart trick. Get the MIB coughing in the midst of a gas cloud, then shoot him with a tranq dart (i often have Pistol skill on Advanced or Master). The tranq dart damage will knock him out of the coughing, but the MIB will move/shoot for a second before gagging on a fresh cloud of gas. Somehow, all the gas/tranq damage accumulate and the MIB will pass out UNCONSCIOUS after several repeats of the gascough-tranqmove cycle, using only 1 gas grenade and 1 tranq dart.

Even the developers knew they weren't going to be making any gameplay innovations. Usually the brainless shooters are the ones that go flying off the shelves. Why? Because if there's one thing I learned from Deus Ex, it's that people are sheep.

I save 'Miss. Savage' by going down the hatch in the ceiling very nicely and quietly.... ......then I BLOW THIER HEADS OFF WITH A F***ING G.E.P. GUN!!!
Haunt-of-DOOM on 12/3/2003 at 01:30
Doom blew, Boom 2 blew, and so will/does Doom 3, its a brainless shooter, no thinking, no team work, just summon a 57 barrel gattling gun with explosive shells and give em hell.
My favorite skill is the run/jump modifier one, because you can snipe from better areas, outrun guards by a longshot, AND get to areas the developers... didnt quite expect you to get to... (not to mention roofs)

I don't get the whole grenade thing. Where do you guys get all your nades? All I ever did to save girl savage was use a silenced sniper rifle to slaughter all outer gaurds then dropped in from the roof and slaughtered the 3 in there with my assualt shotgun. Problem solved.

Yup, but you have a very hard time trying to find a clear shot for those who keep going back and forth in front of the windows...
And sneaking in is mor fun anyway :cool:
