Unknown Enemy is out and I download it's pretty big file and I was somewhat disappointed... It's TOO DAMN HARD on some missions!! Take the 2nd mission for example, "First Strike", you have to protect the Marine LC to dock on the Fralthi. But when that happens, five guys spawn out and they all attack it at once. I can't distract all of them, even with all the wingmen. That's when the damned Marine LC gets destroyed. Any help? The only way I can beat it is by using the cheat 'shoehorn' and then CTRL-F12. Thanks, Justin

A stupid question probably, but are you aware that you can adjust the difficulty setting in the options menu, just like in WCP and SecretOps? Try a lower setting that fits you. The mission you describe is actually a rather easy one in my opinion. I never menaged to get that LC destroyed unless I killed it myself... -- The following is a new Windows message that is under consideration for the planned Windows 2001: * Press any key except... no, No, NO, NOT THAT ONE!

I have all of WC4 left, but embarrasingly enough I got stuck right in the beginning, where you have to do some scout run on a planet. Too many missiles and enemies! I saw some walkthrough that said I should use my missiles on the missile batteries on the ground. (And only use guns on the flying bastards?) Did you get past that mission like that, or did you do something else? /Thanks, Torbjörn

Ok - I am biased as I was a team member. :-) Set in the Union of Borderworld you relive the invasion of the Bugs from their point of view. You'll fly the Scimitor, Epee and Banshee from an old Bengal Class carrier (that is the Tigers Claw type). Only downside is that it is relatively short (10 sim missions, 11 storyline missions in one playtrough, more if you count branching) > Where can I get it? Thanks!

Did you get past that mission like that, > or did you do something else? Using IR missiles on ground turrets is highly recommended. Also you might want to turn down difficulty a level if you find WC4 too hard. Personally I enjoy it most at the rather low Veteran level while I don't have any problems to play WCP or SO on Nightmare. WC4 is rather hard IMHO so don't feel embarassed if you find yourself using a lower settinf. -- UFO's are for real. It's the Air Force that doesn't exist.

Yes, you need the main Secret Ops package. Luckily, this is the part that's freely available for download at Secretops.com TC

You need WingCommander Secret Ops to play the UE as it is only a mod and not a standalone game. Note that for the minimum requirement you only need the basic package of Secret Ops (language does not matter). If you want to also have speech in Unknown Enemy (respectively if you installed the Full version of UE) you also need the Secret Ops Speech Pack or UE will crash. Englisch Speech pack is highly recommended here. You don't need the Secret Ops missions or a password for your callsign - so the free Demo of Secret Ops that is still available will do. > WCP Gold includes this, yes? Yes, SO is on the 4th disk. UE also works with that version and you don't have to bother with all that package stuff I mentioned above. -- Silly question of the day: Why does New Jersey have more toxic waste dumps and California have more lawyers?

Besides WC2 killing Caps with guns is very much possible even with vulnerability on. -- Silly question of the day: Why does New Jersey have more toxic waste dumps and California have more lawyers?

You don't need the episodes installed to play UE.
