ORIGINAL: GODSPEED7 I do find it 'unsettling' to be able to purchase very good weapons from the start. I'm on day 3, I've went to the Safari, taken the Base "North" and finally the Crossroad; I can already buy an SVD and multiple versions of the new AK's.. Naturally, ammo seems to be somewhat of an issue in this game. I conquered the 1st sector, the Safari, the crossroads, the Dam and the North base all on the 1st day and DJ's only had crap for sale. On the beginning of Day 2 DJ's received some better weapons like 2 Enfields and some AKs. I'm still on Day2 but apparently, comparing with your report, the availability of guns on DJ's changes according to the number of days passed and not the sectors conquered. That's obviously a flaw, dunno if it can be modded or not though... All I can say is that I have some AKs, Sniper rifles, shotguns, FAMAS, M4, M14 and a lot of Garands and AKSUs and only got ammo for the Garands and AKSUs. Most were weapons drops since DJ's is still selling me crap. Also, despite all the weapons I have I still use some submachineguns like the UZI, MP5K and the MAC10. Those are very good guns to use with burst on close range, and very useful for silent kills with silencer. I always carry a main weapon and a secondary (a knife on Dagger and Dragon, and SMGs on the rest). Only the knife is better for close range, but few of the mercs can use that efficiently (2x5AP attacks to the head and it's a dead enemy without noise). I don't use pistols though, because when in close range I rather burst the legs, but I might try some good pistol with HP ammo to shoot several times the arms of the opponent in close range and see how good it works compared to the SMGs. As for HG being similar to E5 I fully disagree. 1st of all E5 and 7.62 have Smart Pause Mode, that ruins the gameplay for me and certainly can't be considered the same style of gameplay. 2nd E5 has different background management regarding both the sectors and the mercs, and that makes it very different for me too. I ditched E5 after 2 or 3 tries, and I'm loving HG. Tried 7.62 with English MOD already and all I say is I won't play that.
