Walk until you get to choose between three doors. Whichever you choose, that only defines your basic skills and most immediate career path, you can always acquire any skills you want while in the actual game (if you've got the Cyber Modules for it). Marines focus mainly on weapons, Navy on tech (and some weapons), OSA on mind control. I won't bother describing the training areas, but I strongly advise you to take basic training as well as the three branches of advanced training, or else you'll start the game all confused.Īfter the advanced training, choose your career path. Once you've got it, go down again and enter the recruitment center. If you failed, move closer to it, or possibly press S to crouch down. You should now have picked up the basketball.

Center it on your screen and right-click the mouse. Continue to the top, and you'll see a basketball. Walk right up to it and press and hold the spacebar. Walk up to and face the lower side of that arch-like thingy by the GravShafts. Instead, walk up a bit, then turn around. And here's the thing: once you get up, Don't walk right in to the recruitment center. Step into the one on the right, with little bubbles travelling upwards. Do like the voice says, and walk straight ahead to the GravShafts (blue tube-like thingies). Walk forward and listen to the speaker voice. I feel like an idiot actually writing a walkthrough for something as simple as the introduction, but. Goodies: Basketball, on top of the arch near the gravshafts I don't see much use for the umpteenth pistol in poor condition or the eleventeenth jammed shotgun when I have an assault rifle.

Note 2: I don't list all available goodies, only those that I myself find useful at that point in the game. If this for some reason doesn't work in your browser and you see the codes anyway, well, you are reading a walkthrough, don't blame me if you find spoilers. Note: since codes are such big spoilers but no walkthrough is complete without them, I decided to put them in 'spoiler boxes' like this one: 12345. If you're still absolutely dead-stuck, don't say I didn't warn you. And check your map, audio logs and notes again.

Then, when you're relaxed, go back to the game and think some more of what you've missed. If you have a special someone, give him/her a kiss. Go down to a cafe and have a cup of coffee (or some other beverage if you don't like coffee).

Or if you live in a city, count the cars and list how many you can see of a given colour. Go out into the real world, take a walk and think how much better graphics it has than any game so far. When you've tried everything and you still are dead-stuck, think some more about what you haven't done. Leave the game for a while, get something else on your mind. When you're really really stuck, check your map, audio logs, notes. The audio logs and emails will tell you where to go, the signs will tell you which way is what.ĭon't read any walkthroughs unless you absolutely need to, since they most certainly WILL give away secrets and ruin your game experience. Use the minimap option to keep track of where you are. (For quick access, press 'U' to hear the last log you picked up, and press Backspace to quit playing it.)Ĭheck your map often. They contain clues and sometimes vital information such as passcodes. Then, before you read the walkthrough, read the 'Main goal' and 'How' sections first.Ĭonserve ammo, either sneak past or bash your opponents, especially early in the game.Īlways, always pick up any Audio logs you find. Always read the general tips before you read the actual walkthrough.Not that this might be of any significance to you, but I had a lot of fun writing it. It is not the only walkthrough, there are in fact quite a few of them on the net, but this is the only one written entirely by me. This is a walkthrough for the computer game System Shock 2, produced by Looking Glass Studios (which sadly died not long after the release of this excellent game).
