	In that scenario, I only used the fire-through-obstacles thing a
little bit.

	The Marauder I killed by going for the legs, and finishing the job
too quickly for it to respond much.

	The Dire Wolf I killed by running past it several times at full
speed, using torso twist to get a bead on it.  I use the mouse for aiming,
and the joystick for manuevering, and I'm a pretty good shot, so it worked
pretty well.  When the Dire Wolf was hurting pretty badly I just went
toe-to-toe, and nearly died, but finished it off.

	I like lasers, they don't need any leading at all.  That's the way
lasers should work.  There are so many games (Are you listening WC III
people?) where lasers travel slowly, and take a long time to get to the
target.  This is pretty ridiculous.
