JA2 Thread

Shall we play a game, gentlemen? Or shall this thread die in obscurity like BiA?

I once started with just a made merc and Shadow and wrecked the begining of the game with how many kills they racked up.

I'll be playing on Realistic, Tons of Guns on Experienced, some changes and the like. No, I will not be playing 1.13.. Yet.

Any other changes you'd like to see, or shall we get started?

No 1.13? Bah. 1.13 is where the fun is at.

Not yet.
I haven't even completed vanilla yet.

So, Sup Forums, who are we?

Slab Bulkhead. Give him the large model, TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH voice, and take bodybuilding and athletics.

Getting the feeling I should just.. play 1.13 then. Oh well

>TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH
Patrician choice

Well I said 1.13 is where the fun is at but Gym Bro might be a fun character. Give him a shotfun and a knife.

You play what you want user, I'm just trying to push this campaign towards being a loud daytime assault action movie instead of spooky night ops like we usually play. I haven't played vanilla in a long time and can't remember what's not available in it, so go ahead and modify my suggestion as required.

Make it a female that is a staunch feminist that doesn't believe in in toxic masculinity. In other words, zero wisdom, zero useful physical or combat stats, max medicine and mec

This work?

Vanilla has the questionnaire after all. I can attempt the switch at some point.

Old Modded Commander after all. Might even be easier to fuck around with.

This game is so fucking tight, to bad this board is full of casuals and shitters who have never played it.

>no 1.13

Bumping this thread to watch the commander get tacticool

I've made it towards Cambria.

How should I do this questionaire?

Or shall I actually make the switch to 1.13, and what .ini settings should I use? Fuck the Drassen Counter attack.

It'll be ages before you're done editing 1.13
Just go for all the CUHRAZY options, I'm with

I want to help you, but I honestly can't remember much about vanilla.

Just choose what a gym bro would pick.

Rocky?

Damn right.

Fair enough. Lets just get something fancy going.
Vanilla will be a shorter game overall too.

And I won't be constant Night ops, because setting that shit up is silly.

How about we make these answers a little more clear?

HIRE TREVOR

*grabs you by the neck*
back the fuck off?!

Shall we get the big guns? Or try for something else?

It was tempting, but why waste ammo?

Auto weapons, twice.

Started another run through of ja2 1.13. playing around with different guns and shit. Now a p90 is sweet for a nighttime only group, especially with set ammo.

>but this run I got curious about the magpul.

>IRL its in 556. In game it's in some funny calibre.

What stranger / weird guns do you like best?

I mean. Abakan and all that us OK, but even an m4 whatever catching some guy in the chest with a burst isn't enough to kill later on. P90's set ripps em to shreds though.

Because what other answer would you choose?

DID SOMEBODY SAY BARNEY
BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL HEARD SOMEBODY SAY BARNEY

Right, that questionaire over.

Lets go.

played it last year and took me 90 hours to beat with 1.13 but original balance and features.
tried 1.13 but couldn't figure out a bunch of new systems like interrupt and aiming
maybe i'm just a brainlet

Healthy
Stronk
Marksman

Split the rest between Dex and Wis, but we're gonna do some Rambo shit right off the bat. Tank the other non-Agi stats and keep Medical at 35.

Kill mechanical, explosive and medical skills to 35 or whatever minimum it is before it goes to 0 'cannot ever learn' so you can pump up the core stats he needs

Something like this? Or..?

I can up Explosive and Mechanical from 0, but I doubt we'll ever use em on the IMP, Should I lower Dex into health?

Depends on what other mods I'm playing with.
Managed to nigger-rig Arulco Folding Stock and Arulco Revisited to somewhat work together (handplaced Arulco Revisited loot is fubar though) and since Bobby Ray's is a no-go (with AR it's unlocked after capturing Estoni, but AFS+AR merge fucked it up and the gear never gets delivered) I've been using whatever I can scrounge from enemy corpses.
Favorite weapon is probably the humble knife, Throwing perk makes it a 1HKO on pretty much anything when undetected. H2H/Throwing and MA/Athletics mercs really carry this playthrough so far.

Dump Leadership, Ira will be our recruitment driven bitch.

Or perhaps like this? I can see this working quite well

No. Raw dex and ago is always more useful than just a little more health. Unless you have like 600 health or something just having health is NOT gonna save you if you fuck up and get caught by a burst. Agi, dex and str make it so you got plenty of ap and weight effects it less.

some battle where scope single handedly killed like 40 guys with a sniper rifle.
this game needs a remaster with better scaling UI and zooming in/out, everything is too small at 1080p it was designed for 480 4:3 monitors

Less health and str. More dex and agi.

I don't think leadership affects anything if you're not personally recruiting or taking the party buff skills, so put that on 35 and put the points to agility instead.

I want to say, eventually Stracciatella may go OpenXCOM route. I hope it will, but that dev team is so scattered, its not funny.

Scope is insane with a sniper rifle. I swear that 99 Marksmanship goes higher in practice.

Ira and Hitman, maybe. Those two are my go to for leaderships

Healthy and strong are the core tenets of this character though.

You want Conan the barbarian tho'. Not Rocky 'stand still and get punched in the face to mostly death' balboa.

scope and the british guy

I'm gonna agree with this, however, the rest will come naturally because Wisdom. LETS GO

We have a voice selected already, so whats our portrait?

Take the nigga

Done

Anything but the Nigerian. Be a barbarian physical god amongst mere puny mortals.

Here's our initial A.I.M. selection.

Personally, MD, Igor, and Grunty are my guaranteed starters.

Also the IMP has Hand to Hand and Auto Weapons.

>Buzz gone
Fuck, so much for trigger warnings.
We're going for a single good merc or a squad?

I was thinking of taking my initial three, add Hitman in for early Militia, and then grab Nails once I get Drassen.

It is 2018, damn it! Hire as diverse crew as you can, or you are a racist misogynist!

>MD, Igor, and Grunty
Sounds fine to me. Grab Barry too for weapons maintenance and trap disarm.

(that means you can only hire non-whites or women)

(and hiring Vicky should be your top priority because she fulfills both of those conditions)

Done.

I'm just using base 1.13 with enemies drop everything. That way I can sell off their gear. Actually makes fighting profitable (since you know, mercenaries and all that)

I find the best assault rifles like the m4 etc. Still the best all around. But later on their DMG gets really low and I need to burst with Like three fucking guys into a fool to drop the faggot. With my last run larping as sg1, my set bursting squad ass fucked anything 1 v 1. It was just much harder for them to get into useful range and had to do everything at night.

The magpul prds seem to be a cross between. Less DMG but more range and easier to use.

She's out of my price range.

You should do alright with 3 OK mercs. A mechanic. A doctor. An exploder?

MD is best doctor.

Should be good, leaves room for Ira when I get her.

Alruco. They say its beautiful, but.. Is it really?

Barry spots the first Troublemaker.

Slab gets a hit off, but due to the fuckin top of the map, its hard to tell.

Are those the accurate longer range revolvers or are they shitty 'just as bad as the crappy pistols' ones?

I know I once gave Vicki a pair of great revolvers and anything that tried to bumrush the team got a pair of heavy slugs fucking their whooooole day up.


>can't attach folding stock to go with the x2 scope

Playing a bit defensively here.

Enemy Agent!

Grunty starting off strong.

Slab gets first kill.

Slab "The Slab" Bulkhead.
It's a good name.

Take the shot Igor!

He's a good shot, and if need to, will punch a soldier in the face without a care.

Will we finish this without injury?

Motherfucker has a shotgun! What the Drake!?

Oh.. this is bad

Slab is a tanky motherfucker, taking no damage from a buckshot round to the chest.

Musta been that Flak Jacket.

Yeah! This is an enemy fre-

What is that?!

Fuck yeah this is action movie as fuck already

A Desert Eagle.. and a Shotgun?

Lucky first mission or what?

Appropriate nickname

Can't quite say the same for its quality, but useful, if only five shots left in it.

And here we go. We have 1 part of the Meduna assault load out already.

Grunty finds a crowbar and wirecutters

One of life's great mysteries Fatima. But no. I have a letter for you.

No, he, and his $35,000 did not.

Should I just skip all this and get Ira?

Well, I can try and promise in 30 days, We'll have Two cities and multiple Sam Sites.

Yeah go ahead, the people in the thread have all played the game before.

Keks.

Holy crap, NOTHING?

Finding some Wirecutters, we prepare to move on.

We have a few choices to make I suppose.

Head to Drassen and get Omerta the food, Head to San Mona and get some supplies and maybe some ammo. Barring that, we have Chitzena to liberate too.

Choices.

Any objections on getting Drassen ASAP?

Always go get a mine first. Cashflow is a priority. Doing the quests and shit gives 'free' levels so you can hire more impressive mercs who respect your accomplishments

God dammit op. Now I have to go make an aim squad of bitches to accompany my manly leader in a fresh play through of shenanigans.

>fix is a bitch! She sets women back 50 years acting like that!

>fox is a filthy whore! Ooooooo she gets me sooooooo mad!

Roger that.

Say hello to Elliot U. Idiot. Or don't.

Was JA3 super shit or what? How have they not just HD'd 2?
