My answer to the pistol-rifle debate?
Who the hell cares? Prelaser weapons are useless anyway. If you want to go after crashed UFOs in the early game, use what you've got and don't worry about "no, the pistol's better! No, the rifle!" They're pretty equal. (Equally weak that is.) |

A weapon is only as "weak" or "strong" as the strategy using it.
Pistols are better if using them for your Stun Rod / Grenade equipped shock troops, but that doesn't neccesarily mean they are always better than the rifles.

Just avoid the discussion and go for auto cannons and a few rocket launchers in the early game. At that point I rarely if ever took the risk of using weaker weapons + stun rods (risky because it can endanger the success of the entire mission).
Research quickly towards laser rifles and you're off...

Never compared laser pistol to laser rifle if one-handing; my gut bets on the rifle but I could be wrong. (And, except on specific missions, I rarely do much with grenades or stun weapons anyway. I much prefer energy weapons.) As for autocannon...too heavy, too much reloading, generally not worth it. Last edited by Ramidel; 01-05-2008 at 11:32 PM. |

I think there shouldn't be any problem doing that. Just copy the sub-directories whose names start with "Game" to the directory of this version and it should work just fine.
