First of all, I was really looking foward to this game for a long time. I finally picked it up yesterday and started playing. Everything seemed good, graphics, and as much of the story i could get into. So far I havent been able to beat a single battle, not even D ranks or free ones all because of a few errors that destory the game experience. For instance, now when you hit someone in a week spot, it does 2-3 times damage. When someone gets behind you, they do 3x damage as well, but when they hit a week spot on your back, you get hit for 6x damage. Sounds good when your fighting someone else, but your never really fighting one person in this game, basically its 5 on 1. I'll be running towards an enemy and one of those small car robots will come up behind me and take me down to 1/4 hp before im able to find cover. In addition to the damage change, somehow chips now have hp. I have no idea why they decided this. You cant even heal them all the way when theyre damaged. You take you chip to a chip dealer and he will heal 1/2 the damage, but the ammount that your chip is at after being healed is now its maximum. The only solution to fixing this problem is to transfer the data (The levels your chip has obtained in combat) to another chip. The transfer will cost about twice as much as a normal chip. Only thing else is that vendors dont sell all equip over the period of time. More will probably be added when you progress through the story, but its slightly impossible to do that.

For battles, the trick is to get the SVs alone, and forget the grenades- fire those rockets! Usually, I found it easier to beat things when I go invisible and tail them- it only takes like 2-3 rockets to get them that way. Don't get yourself surrounded.

actually i found game play rather easy.
the key is to use the rookie weapons in the beginngin such as the machine guns. and cloak often.

I thought the only hard parts is when you're transiting from one grade to another, just because the bosses always seem to pop up when I'm injured and I need to revise my weapons for new strategies. Still, I get along all right. ^-^

Its actually very simple. I have beaten the game many times and my key strategy is to use the O.C. and sneak up behind them and use a melee weapon such as the sword. Which is what I use.

Ive been wondering if there ar Chagras and Tolomeos.

no.. theyre arent.... WAAAHH!!!! To think i had built a Charga with a lvl 99 body, legs, and a wolf... wiht level 55 light shoulder lasers (2 of em) and two light spead shots... WAH! it rocked so hardcore i could beat roy in under ten seconds.

Hmmm, I just got a lvl 99 Sword and killed everyone in 1 hit ^^ maybe that could help you out.

the way to really take out the svs is to get a hartman and just go ballistic with the machine guns. You get a lock on theyre backside, BOOM, theyre DOWN FOR THE COUNT BABY!!

The best way to take out a ranker is to clean up the area and when he arrives, just leave. Go save you game and go to the same event, all you have to do is frag 1 guy and the ranker will arrive, but this time you will be prepared. And you can load and try again if a ranker "catches you off guard". I also recommend a hartman because of the high hp. After all, the key to winning any war is to stay alive
