You will have to scavenge places and people, to keep a large supply in your kitty. They are important.

Unless you are on Ranger difficulty, I didn't find myself suffocating in normal mode.

On ranger mode without reticle I am stuck at the city wherein my gas mask runs out and there are lots of those nosalies like creatures summoning others too.

Is that when you enter the city via a gate. And jump across to a building. With the gas mask on.

Yeah, it's the first time you go on surface. Guess I need to be fast and restart the chapter.

[soumo27]

Well switched to DX 11 from DX 9 and I'm getting some crap lines all over the screen. I wonder whats wrong.

Created due to Ethan_hunt's request, keep your Metro 2033 discussions here, tell us about your blood curling experiences, the alternate ending and more.

I'll start this again maxed out as soon as I am done with FNV, so guys, start playing this gem again.

[Ethan_Hunt]

First off, My honest apologies for failing at moving posts and merging threads. Thanks to tkin for creating a new thread.

I'm currently on the 4th chapter right now and the game's is dam atmospheric. I'm ditching the stealth way and going in all guns blazing. Any tips on what to purchase from the market? So far I have only purchase a scoped revolver and nothing else.

I only get to purchase medikits from the market.....

Don't be reckless while buying guns you will have to throw of your guns once you find a better one and you can't get it back. If you want to buy, you should buy a magnum and shotgun. But don't buy the guns with air pellets.

[asingh]

Buy guns with heavy load power. Meaning shot guns. Pellet ones do jack to to the enemies. Plus they continue to rush you and melee. Heavy fire power pushes them far, and the subsequent shot kills them to the ground. Enemies are difficult and fast in this.

Try to save up and get a good rifle first, no need to get shotguns cause they can be found ingame, also you can find the arrow gun later in the war level(forgot name).

PS: Are you going for the alternate ending? Get it man, really exciting.

[Ethan_Hunt]

I got Shotguns during standard battles with Humans. So didn't need to purchase any, yet. Should I sell any of my military grade ammo?

@tkin: I'm not sure how to get the alternate ending. So just going with the flow.

[Extreme Gamer]

Hey ethan, I do not think you can "sell" millitary grade ammo (the green 5.56mm NATO rounds).

To get alternate the ending you will need to make the right choices when you play.

For example, if a kid asks for a bullet, you give him one.

As extreme gamer said, but that's not all, listening to your companions, following orders, freeing captives, also help with alternate ending.

Listen to the dark ones.

[Ethan_Hunt]

Gotcha! I have done all the right deeds till now, or at least I think I did. There was a point, pretty early in the game, when a hooker tried to pull a fast one on me. I reloaded my checkpoint, before I got robbed off my ammo (or so I assume).

Any-hoo, reached the 5th chapter now. I have ran out of my gas mask filters in the 'Outpost' level of the 4th chapter. Need to refill them now. Are there anymore sections when we visit the surface?

[Faun]

^^yes the epilogue

[Ethan_Hunt]

Completed the game a few minutes back. I'm a bit confused about the last section of the game. But the loved the whole game. It was extremely atmospheric and good in terms of horror elements. A lot of detailed attention was provided to the post-apocalyptic setup. It's weird how Artyom spoke during loading scenes and chose to give the silent treatment during the game. I'm glad I played it on the 360. The visuals were stunning and the frame rates were consistent throughout. My current rig would have begged for mercy, if asked to max out this game. Definitely looking forward to it's sequel now.

You can find her but do not go for her

[Ethan_Hunt]

When I began the game, I was advised strongly on saving ammo. By the end of the game, I had so much ammo that I could start World War III.

Same thing happened to me in the game and also in RE5 and Fallout 3.
