No saves? WTF do you mean, NO SAVES?

[MichaelD]

Unbelieveable. Firstly, I'm the only person on this board playing IGI-2. I know that.

Secondly, after more than 6 weeks, I've beat the game on Easy and Normal (no cheating!!!!). Easy, you can save 5 times per level. Normal, three times...I figure on Hard, once.

*buzzer* Wrong. NONE. NO SAVES. WTF? On top of that, the enemy AI does NOT miss. A guy with a 9mm Markarov pistol can hit you in the head from across the field, 100 yards away....on easy, they miss with the RPG.

Just thought I'd relay my disappointment at this major suckage. Thanks.

That's why it's called "Hard."

 

[Anubis]

It's a very good game. It's got Metal Gear Solid type elements; cameras, sneaking quietly as well as shooter elements...cool weapons. The game is not as easy as some think; a straight shooter it's not. Try that and you be dead, even if you are a seasoned FPS player.

On each level, you're given Objectives; Free this hostage, open this gate, send this radio transmission, kill this dude, etc. A lot of fun!

I have this game and for some reason, I never got into it.

How far did you get? It can be frustrating, especially the Border Crossing level...I almost quit at that level. Glad I didn't. The Libya levels rock! You get to shoot a .30 cal from a helicopter and kill the little people on the ground! Wheeee!

How is the LAN play? I was hesitant to pick this game up after reading the less than stellar reviews. But if the multiplayer portion is fun, I would consider it.

That's exactly why I would want to pick it up MichaelD, I loved MGS

You have to shoot the cameras out...if they see you, the alarm goes off...you don't want that.

At the end of each level (assuming you complete it ) You're given your stats. There's a set standard you're expected to meet and you're assigned a rank.

I have not yet played online...yes, I'm embarrassed about that. The LAN/online is supposed to be pretty darn good. I'll bet this game would ROCK on a fast server at a LAN.

Interesting. My friends and I are looking forward to getting in some quality Raven Shield LAN action, but we might have to check this game out too. The LAN play has been getting a little stale lately, maybe this will help pick things up a bit.

I can only beat games I truely enjoy more than once. I always play a game all the way through on Normal, but 'Hard' is basically the same missions replayed with more frusteration

I agree. But there is some measure of satisfaction from beating a level the second time around with no saves, whereas the first time, you needed three.
