Where else can you shoot aliens with an M14?


Texas.

I said "aliens", not "illegal aliens".

So those Sectoids/Rectoids/Whatever that are invading America and killing everyone are Legal?  ^-^

They're Grey.
Also some of them are carrying pistols, don't they need a license for them? (as opposed to the heavier weaponry :P)

Finished the campaign.  It's not really that bad.  I enjoyed it.  There were some choices to be made.  Wonder what will happen if I chose the other branch.  But I think I won't be playing this again.

^There were no choices.
The only real choice simply affected a bit of how your character looked at the last mission, and that's it.
It's again one of the sillier parts of the game.

I know this thread is ancient, but I just played this for a couple of hours just now, first time ever. I got it a few months ago in a bundle sale but never gave it a spin as I didn't know if it would work or not on my rig. It works, and rather well. I'm actually enjoying the story, even if it is on rails more or less. The environment is enjoyable too, as is the FPS combat, though I'm generally not an FPS fan at all.

I'd much prefer the turn-based version, but this is pretty fun.

This is a TPS, not a FPS...unless I totally missed something!

Point, but to me it's an FPS if I have to sight down a crosshair and click furiously to blow aliens away.
