How to play a different game?

[Morchuflex]

Hello.

This is at least the 10th time I play SS2 (on Impossible), and I realize that I have a tendancy to always make roughly the same choices: max out Std weapons ASAP and invest the rest of my CM into a mixture of Hack, Mtn, Mod and personal stats. Add a bit of HV for the very effective GL, and forget about everything else.

It may seem monotonous, but unfortunately, weapons in this game are imbalanced, aren't they? So, why would I bother to research those pathetic exotic weapons when I can tear everything up with my trusted AR?

So, has there been any effort to rebalance weapons? We now have superb textures and models to play with. What about balance? Are there any mods that make the EMP rifle or SFG worth carrying around?

We really do need to get around to giving that a better name, one of these days.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it.
I would never have suspected there was a mod by the same name of this very, very old thread.

Also, SecMod for a really, really big gameplay change.

I recommend Eldron's psi amp for a really different game. Great mod.

What? All that does is change the Psi-Amp's model.

But it's a very different psi amp model.
