Support is notoriously slow from what I've read on forums, you'd possibly get a quicker response tweeting them, though it is a new company running it now so who knows?

They really nerfed the effectiveness of C4 on sunderers. used to take about three blocks, two and a grenade if if you were lucky, and it caught fire and you gunned down the engies, last time I played it was an exercise in futility. Still good for anti tank though I think.

When you've shot down aircraft with a submachine gun get back to me

I still don't know how to throw grenades, none of the buttons seem to do it.

Pff, automatic weapons are cheating

[Psychosplodge]

G, G throws grenade. I'd assume that translates to R3 or L3 possibly? Also don't forget to equip it on the loadout screen

[Kirsten]

Tried all the buttons, no idea. I need to look it up

[Psychosplodge]

L1+R1 together

[Kirsten]

Aah ok

Who would ever think of trying that? Silly people

These Fallout games - how do they cope with nooBs who haven't played the predecessors?

[Psychosplodge]

I started at fallout 3. It was a completely different style to the early ones. it worked fine. I would have thought New Vegas would have worked fine as well. If you still have your ps3 I'd suggest getting three from CEX or somewhere and giving it a spin.
Going back and playing the first ones would require a PC and give you more background. But tbh I'd assume you could enter at four quite easily and the only thing you'll miss is some of the references I'd assume they'll include to earlier games.

All you'll really miss out is a few moments of seeing what they did there or getting of a reference. Fallout 2 is the one that relies most heavily on FO1 to understand

just spent several minutes creeping up on an enemy apc. knifed a dude from behind on the way, was awesome. got right up close, threw my C4, and it phased out as I threw it and my C4 just landed on the ground...
