I did my first runthrough as a marine. Then it was Navy every time after that. I have yet to complete an OSA runthrough. :o

Well I'm playing as navy, but to be honest I'm dispointed with the combat. It's extremely clunky. Considering that HL was released before this with great combat its disapointing.

Maybe you should play Deus Ex or SS1 first to see what clunky combat really is.
Besides, WE LIKE CLUNKY :thumb:

Considering that SS2 is based on the Thief engine, and HL is based on the Quake engine, it's not surprising at all.

Unedited combat in half-life 1 & 2 sucked. At least in system shock it doesn't take 20 shots to kill some things with a pistol. And guns are accurate. SS2 ftw :angel:

Oh look, someone's dormant alt has been resurrected for a bit of trolling. :rolleyes:

I guess it has to be situated in its time. But anyway, it never really was the fluidity of the combat that made this game connect even in its own time. It was more the setting in which it took place.
There is something raw about the combat, and along with the weapon degradation and isolation, etc, you get the feeling like the cards are stacking against you and you're perpetually under-prepared to handle it.

Just like Modify.
What's wrong with Modify? Other than the fact that on Easy there is enough French-Epstein Tools(or whatever) not to take it, and on Impossible when half of these Tools are gone, you don't have modules to spare.

3-4 tools are enough if you maintain your guns... to be honest, I'd remove french epstein and autorepairs alltogether from the game. Heck, ICE picks even, if Shodan's shields could be destroyed somehow otherwise.

I thought you could shoot them?
