I was perusing threads and noticed that alot of people mentioned lots of different ways of playing the game. I searched and found no thread (at least that my search found) that compiled all these modes. I figured we could all post the various ways we play, Ghandi, wrench only, no upgrades, etc. and see who does what!
I was thinking that a good way to increase difficulty without modding the game would be to play in Wrong Ammo Mode In this mode, you use the opposite ammo type for the enemy your shooting. Armor piercing for organics, anti personnel for robots, etc.
Makes it alot harder to kill!

An even better idea: why not try to kill your enemies by throwing soda cans, packets of crisps, magazines, and potted plants at them? I bet that would REALLY make the enemies a lot harder to kill.

Not a bad attempt at creating something new, but it is plain impractical to use the wrong ammo type, you'd run out of anti-personell bullets before destroying a single maint. bot.

I suppose you would run out of ammo alot, but that could be another factor since you would have to buy lots of ammo from machines and scrounge around for every available nanite and loose ammo boxes around the game.
As for the bots, maybe you could just use regular rounds then. it does take an awful lot of anti personnel to blow up those things.
D'arcy, I can't tell if you're being funny sarcastic or mean sarcastic. But it does make me think: If you're up high enough and drop something heavy, will it damage whatever it lands on?

No.

You could also just use a melee weapon. ;)

We need those grenades from Deus ex, some LAMs.
Someone should know if you can do a bomb that can be thrown away in SS2.
With physics behavior like the ones in Deus ex?

No, unless what you're dropping is a lift. And I wasn't being mean. The fact is that it's probably as difficult to kill an enemy by throwing soda cans at him as it would be to kill a robot with HP bullets.

You could try offering the hybrids cigarettes though... that might work in the long turn.

You wouldn't need to give the grenade hybrids cigarettes very often. :p
