Two players seems to be the sweet spot between inventory supply and manpower, as any more players and ammo would surely have run short. Ignoring all the technical difficulties we experienced, the game was fun, though not very challenging. Such a modification is suggested, as the default levels tend to detract from fluid gameplay (though it makes firefights a hell of a lot more tense). We chose to reduce weapon-damage by 90%, yielding an easily manageable but still present degradation effect. I chose to use all the texture enhancements, and found that they dramatically improved the look of certain things (like midwife breasts?), but the game does still look damn old. Both classes ended up being roughly the same in skill by the end, with your class choice only really mattering during the first third of the game. I played a marine, while C_Zoui played Navy. The corridors of the Von Braun and Rickenbacker are safe once more, though the clean-up crew will need a strong stomach to peel all the goo off the hull and scrub the rumbler blood from the walls.Īnyways, on to the co-op mode minireview.įirst, the side details. After beginning our journey here, C-Zoui and I endured through extreme hardship, passed the point where the brave men before us had failed, and successfully beat the game. but it honors us that others continue along the path where we have fallen.Īnd after four months of valiantly battling the Many (and perhaps more so, game bugs and instability), a brave team of Arsians has finally achieved victory. sadly all four were not strong enough to complete their mission.

Four brave Arsians awoke aboard the Von Braun several years ago.
