Did I see what I think I saw?

Posted By: Steve Levinson Date: 6/13/04 11:54 a.m.

I was playing Phoenix Falling earlier today when a trooper that was taking pleasure in shooting me suddently backed up and started firing grenades. Now troopers are generally pretty stupid. They'll relentlessly move in on you and fire bullets at close range. They'll gladly try to pound you with grenades even as the grenades impact on the cliff in front of them, making them take all the damage. They'll move around on you to try to get a better shot at you, but I don't think I've ever seen a trooper do something as intelligent as to back off and hit me with grenades. Or is this one of the many things that was actually more realistic in the original M1 engine?
BTW, the farther along I get in PF, the more I am absolutely dumbstruck by Matt's genious. He has done things I've never seen done with the MI/AO engine, let alone M1. There are some problem spots that need some work, and some oughtright bugs that can cause a very nasty hard crash, but this scenario is shaping up to be one of the most outstanding I've ever played. We're going to have to bring Matt's brother up to speed quickly so that he can quash the bugs - this is an absolute must-play.
