Thoughts on BFE changes in Fusion

[Skorly]

What changes did you like and more importantly: which ones you didn't like.

[Artman40]

Like:

Shotgun becoming useful
Updated weapon sounds
A few new secrets
Some enemies using new attack patterns on serious difficulty
Space monkeys are aggressive
Weapon resistances instead of immunities

Don't like:

Rocketeers' attack on serious difficulty rarely seems to be unavoidable.

I have a similar problem with the Khnums. They have become really easy to dodge because they throw a single fireball most of the time (even on Serious!). I wish that that would revert it back to him always throwing 3 fireballs on higher difficulties.

btw, I don't like new sounds for shotgun and assault rifle. It's too typical sounds and there is no feeling of fire power. Pistol sounds very nice.

In my opinion the rifle and shotgun sounds beefier and that's a good thing, at least for me.

Also, I didn't mind most of the changes, but the special attacks for some enemies felt kinda tacked on if you can call it that.

I didn't really notice anything substantially wrong with the changes. I think the amount of cloned soldiers and hatchling arachnoids has been toned down, which is the best thing since sliced bread. Overall the game just seems to flow a lot better now. The increased magazine/clip sizes are okay I guess, but I'm still waiting for someone to make a no reloading mod.

Also, the game's buggy as hell, and I've had to resort to cheating a couple of times because I've gotten stuck, or some map parts haven't had collision.

I wonder if it had been better if hatchling arachnoids and cloned soldiers were given new attacks instead.
