Chaos Theory - which mission is the best ?

[user1234]

This is a great great game. I'm only half way thru it so I haven't seen all the levels, but I already looking to playing it again and re-doing the missions with better strategy and using all the cool stuff (like when the intro shows what you can do at the top of the lighthouse in the first mission).

it's really hard to say so far, they are all so good and different. I guess the Displace mission (corporate offices) was the best so far.

Not sure because I'm only on the Bank Mission. I'm stuck at the vault trying to figure out how to pick the lock.
So far, it's a pretty good game.

yeah, the bank level is a pretty good one too. You need to go to the safe deposit room next to the vault.......

I just bought this game and have the controls setup on my Nostromo N52, I've played about ten min, had to shut down for the night. You guys have any suggestions for a dyed in the wool FPS'er, who is trying to change his spots to stealth, instead of shooting up the place ?

watch your stealth meter, stay in the shadows, always use the nightvision, sneak up on enemies and interrogate them (it's more useful then firing and killing and attracting attention) then knock them out, or if it's not possible to sneak shock them with the gun, listen to the conversations and study their movement pattern before planning your attacking strategy, and look out for hidden passages and objects (e.g. cameras and microphones) in the environment

Also turn off all the lights by switching them off or taking them out with your pistol. This is a great way to attract guards without causing them to start the alarm. Another way is to whistle so they get close and you can grab'em

I did get the stuff out of the safety deposit box. BUt picking the lock on the vault is different than the other ones.

The best level... hmm.. Korea was amazing... I mean the atomosphere was pretty cool. So yeah, I guess that would be my favorite. I also liked how you could rescue the pilots at the end, that was a nice touch.

user1234,
Thanks for your suggestions, I'm lovin this game, and the graphics are superb on my 6800gt. Played thru level 1, 4 times trying different moves, holds, weapons, no weapons, on and on. This time, it is take it slow, do it right, and enjoy what I paid for, rather than hurry thru the game and move on to the next, heh, my GF likes the new me as well.
I still like FPS games, but this one has added dimension to my gameing.

btw, for a 6800GT good settings are 1280x1024 Shader Model 3 with all effects on EXCEPT HDR, plus 4xAA/8xAF and all other options on max. Explanation: HDR incurs a 30-40% performance hit AND it cannot be used with AA/AF which is absolutely essential and really improves the clarity here, so it's not recommeded to use HDR. This setting produces a very playable and smooth 40 fps on my 6800GT.
