System Shock 2...
I just ordered a boxed copy of System Shock 2. A friend from 3DRealms forums talked me into getting a copy (Hudson) and it should arrive by Monday next week.
I've already downloaded the Rebirth model pack and the SHTUP texture packs. Is there anythign else anyone can suggest to help with my SS2 experiance?
And tips or words of wisdom?
Thanks ahead of time, I'm gonna go play some Deus Ex now.

Deus ex is not the first SS. Deus ex was created by Warren Specter, who is the father of SS as well. The first System Shock was ahead of its time and didn't do that well in terms of selling. Part of the reason were (at that time) difficult controls which you couldn't rebind.Caleb wrote:Oh you bastard you can't come in here and talk like that!

Rebirth model pack - made by fans of the game, only about 3 and a half megs zipped. Replaces all the models in the game (some peeps say that the original models are very ugly) with nicer, higher quality models.
SHTUP texture pack - haven't tried that, but I assume it changes in game textures. some info would be nice
XP users also need a fix that will allow them to run the game.
v2.23 brings multiplayer.
p.s. watch out, game eats and requires huge ammount of time.

I've only played a few hours of the game but it is fantastic. SS2 is a RPG/FPS... and a great one. You play as your choice of marine/navy/ or o.s.a. officer. Your stationed aboard the Vaun Braun, a spaceship that's capable or dimensional travel (watch Event Horizon... same concept). But things go wrong... I'm not gonna say what goes wrong. But I will say that there's a few ghosts, parasite driven zombies... all sorts of good things.
I havn't played the first SS... but I do have a copy on order from eBay.
And Deus Ex... god I love that game. A beautiful combination of RPG and FPS gameplay. Plenty of free roaming play, side missions all sorts of "play it your way" style. The skill system and Augmentation system is wonderfully implamented.
I would galdly suggest Deus Ex to any FPS fan... it's a great game.
And so far I'm in love with SS2... it won't work at all on the PC I'm on right now, but it's working on my girl friend's PC. I read somewhere it's because my PC has Hyper Threading... SS2 won't work with HT. Oh well... it's working on her PC and it's great. I'm gonna go play some more.
Actually, I would recommend you to at least watch the System Shock 1 intro before playing the second one (to catch the concept of Shodan and Citadel Station), you can download it from here.
