Stun Grenade Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I just played Terror from the Deep for the first time tonight and I got slaughtered in my first mission! They kept killing me requiring only one shot. . . I went near the entrence to their sub and they just reacted first each time and I was shot on the spot... Is there something I can do to win? ~SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotty Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 well... keep your soldiers at a distance from the USO entrance.. and let ther be a couple sitting outside. they will react kill anything thet will leave.. and then.. shot first and ask later.. and use grenades as H*ll :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Use a tank to spot and nade attack and snipe from out of sight, you should take minimal casualties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 In case ya didn't know, you don't have to go through doors anymore. You can open them by standing next to them and right clicking their way. Handy when an alien is camping on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Playing TFTD again. What can you do, it's X-COM. This game really is quite a bit harder than X-COM 1. As the thread starter said, it's one shot one kill for the aliens. Even after getting aqua-armour it's not much better - if you're lucky, your soldier will survive a sonic pistol hit. Medi kit isn't needed untill you have the aqua armour... Anyway, I'm currently playing the second game. On experienced and no reload, same as the first one. This one is quite different from the first game, however. Before I only got terror missions, practically no small USOs after the first month has passed. Natually this led to a disaster. Island attacks are ok, but ship missions... Slaughterhouse. So this time around I'm skipping ships missions untill I can equip my men adequately. And even than I'll only go there to collect specimens and head out. Too tedious and impossible with the current death rate. Anyway, in this second game I get a lot of small USOs and this makes the game much, MUCH easyer. Becouse of the higher score the funding is getting bigger and I have enough Zrbite & Aqua plastic to sell. Funny how one game can be completely different from the other. One of the things I always loved with X-COM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 One thing that is IMPERATIVE on the ship missions is to use that neat close combat weapon. Can't remember what it's called now (thermal lance or something?), but it eats through the lobsterman armour like it was plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
