So, it begins...again

Post by evilferretvictim »

I feel like I'm back in the early 90s all over again... I sat up playing UFO:ET for awhile until I decided I needed to get some sleep for work tomorrow. A few hours later, I wake up to play some more... I'm probably going to have to call into work tomorrow, I'm hooked :) Damnit....just one more mission!!!

I just finished my first alien base raid...Although the destructible environments isn't nearly as detailed as a game such as Silent Storm, I'm still impressed. After my mission was complete it *really* looked like all hell broke loose in there. Luckily my first base was just full of Halluciniods (I think).. During my firefight it almost seemed like they were *playing* with me~ Later in the mission I realized they could actually do physical attacks, I lost a couple of good men :(

Overall it does make me curious... Are there scripted events in the game that make it easier on the player the first time around? Meaning, does *everyone* have their first alien base mission just full of Halluciniods? Overall it just seemed a bit too easy for a raid mission, but maybe I'm just that awesome :)

Ugh...I'm tired and rambling.. Ok, back to the game :)

Yeah, I'm supposed to take a final in 2 hours but instead I spent all night doing an AAR and shooting aliens....think my professor will understand?
