Hi, I'm just up to the part where I am in the communications tower and I am about to send the message out for reinforcements. Sorry about the vagueness but I only play this game maybe 1 hour in 2 weeks so the names/details are a bit sketchy. Anyway, the clean up dude from the start comes on the screen and says not to send the message. I saved the game, then sent the message and continued on. But then I thought, well does it make any difference what you choose here later on in the game??? Cheers Dre

Well, there will be a moment of dialog that's different, but the end result is the same.

Aim the plasma gun at their necks/heads. It will take out the missles as they're fired while killing the monster. -- sda_mail Scott | Yields over 30 blasts or @comcast.net Amspoker | 80 gentle honks per charge! ^ my email |

Nice, now I know for sure I'm gonna be less evasive and more aggresive with em :) Cheers Dre

Yeah, I went through that, too! What does it do, now I have to replay with no reenforcements, etc. I had a save game right at that point and all that happened was the guy says something like, "Wrong choice. Override!" Only different, of course. The only part that was really different in the game was back when you had to choose whether to start the monorail thingy or not. Either you rode the train, or walked to the next part. I saved there, too, and played it both ways. > > >Nevermind, I'm having a blast playing this game, allthough those bloody > > >skeleton things that shoot those semi homing missiles give me the shits! > > > > Aim the plasma gun at their necks/heads.

It surprised the Hell out of me! I wonder if you could hit a missile BEFORE it is fired and kill one of the things. -- ArWeDepletedNotDefeated

I'm at the waste recycling plant atm a fair way in (I think). Nevermind I think I have a save a little earlier on, I might fire that one up and check it out. > > > >Nevermind, I'm having a blast playing this game, allthough those > bloody > > > >skeleton things that shoot those semi homing missiles give me the > shits! > > > > > > Aim the plasma gun at their necks/heads.
