Autumn Aurora 2

Mod review

While it's a great idea, there are many many flaws that make it a Misery (AKA unfun mod)for SoC.

1) The Grenade Damage and Range, way too high and ridiculous, IRL I could throw a grenade into a room, and stand to the side of the door, and survive with no injuries, in AA2, I can't be within 50m of it or I die.

2) The lack of visibility, yeah I get it "Muh immersion" but the ******** that stems from being shot from places you can't see, even if you look directly at them, is ridiculous. The enemies can snipe me from 120m away through dense bush and I'd be lucky to even see a tracer.

3) The fact that you can take 1 - 3 shots max before either dying, bleeding heavily or having to disengage while enemies (So far I've noticed this with Bandits and Mercs) Can take upwards of 6 bullets to the chest is clear artificial difficulty.

4) Rad drugs taking health away makes this incredibly difficult in the end stage of the game. Another bad design choice.


I recommend modifying some .ltx's and stuff to make it more enjoyable for yourself.
There are many other small things that I noticed that irk me, mainly how bad the AI is in escort missions and what have you. All in all it's a great idea that seems very rushed. I love the way it looks though.
