Deus Ex is one of the best PC games in history, but even it isn't without its faults and shortcomings. Shifter addresses these and then some. Unused game content, buggy scripted events, several completely useless items, and certain design choices that can only be described as "annoying", all fixed (or at least "improved") by this little mod. I started Shifter in 2002 to fix just one of the latter -- the fact that weapons equipped with a laser sight won't turn it on automatically -- and the project has expanded exponentially since then. A few new weapons, some additional uses for existing items, new augmentations, and several fixes for existing Deus Ex bugs all exist in Shifter, along with a new multiplayer component. The mod is so popular it's been featured in Game Informer's July 2007 edition of Mod World; how many Deus Ex mods can say that? (only 3, to be specific) Shifter: "Removing the suck from Deus Ex" since 2002.

Isn't it unrealistic to have the rebreather slowly fill up your oxygen bar rather than the original version which simply kept it at maximum? I mean... when you have a rebreather, it simply gives you breathable air, in decreasing concentration until it is depleted (usually in about an hour, which I understand is much too long for the purposes of a game but that's beyond the point).

This is so you cant turn it on only when your low on O2 and then turn it off allowing you to have a re-breather last for ever
