Heh, someone over at the Ubi forums pointed out that it would actually be more realistic if it awarded you for silently killing everybody you caught or who saw you; after all, dead people don't tell tales of black-clad Americans with high tech toys asking pertinent questions...

Other thing: they brought back the "fixed battle" thing from the first one; y'know, you're in a gunfight and there's no way around it. I don't remember any of those in Pandora Tomorrow, but they always suck, becuase they're not actually action sequences but sequences in which you do EXACTLY the right sequences of movements and shots, or you fail. Or you just do it once and then wallmine the spawn points.

I know the bit you're on about. The 3 guy scenario at the end of the Baths level yeah?
Took me ages to figure out how to take them down without them going in to all out combat mode.
Oh, and there was one of those in PT; the glass corridors right before capturing the big bad guy in the TV studio. Never did work out a way of ghosting that bit.

Yeah, I was particularly amused to see wossisface (name obscured for spoiler reasons) run through my mines unscathed.

A housemate of mine got it about a week ago. Ive borrowed it off him to have a go myself and I really like it. Quite surprising since im not a big fan of the tom clancy range of games. If it wasn't for revision I'd be playing lots more of it.
So in conclusion, awesome game.

I'm on the second cd right now after going to NY after the power went out. I ghost like half the mission and kill the other half as I see fit. Sometimes it's unavoidable. I finaly figured out how to hack
I guess I should have read the instructions.

for some reason, a lot of people have trouble understanding the hacking process.
its a simple elimination game. you can do it within 5 secs if you pay close attention

by the way, last night i got 97% on the bank level. i got identified once as an intruder at the end.
however, i did interrogate quite a lot of people and knocked them out.
so that means, you could knock out the last guy in the lighthouse map to get yer 100% .. ?

I'll have to give it a go; that level doesn't take too long anyway.
