it is a bit tricky, IGI1 AI was predictable to the point of not being AI, they have gone the other way with No2. Good game - as bruce forsythe would say.
mj-still on level 2
while I think on, when I have been playing and quit the game my PC restarts - any suggestions? could it be virtual memory (whatever that is) or something like that? I remember with UT you could tweak the system.ini file to allocate more memory to the game, but there doesn't seem to be anything in IGI 2 to do this. P4 1.7/XP Pro/256 Mb RAM/radeon 8500 ( WHICH COST £250 ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO AND IS NOW WORTH ABOUT ******* £3.99 
}
any suggestions
EDITED COS I CAN'T EEK PROPERLEY
EDITED AGAIN COS I CAN'T: PROERLEY EITHER.

To be fair i played IGI on medium and hard levels to complete it and respected the game due to the complete bitch of the last level and no saves.
Now having played splinter cell i simply cannot bring myself to play it - its annoying to use the bino's instead of NVGs, its annoying you cannot do 'proper' moves like in splinter cell with the scenery, its annoying that the computer can hit you from 50yds with a reaction shot when you are prone. They fixed alot of stuff but forgot to put any kind of realism into the accuracy of the shooting on both sides....

the biggest blow to IGI2 is the lack of crosshairs for the binoculars for the old "bino trick"
IGI1 - use binos, move bino crosshairs and centre on enemy's chest/head 200+ yds away ( AK47, MP5,minigun etc). Toggle off binos , and as if by magic the gun crosshairs are POINTIG STRAIGHT AT THE ENEMY , ( although you cant see him ). Fire about 3-4 single shots without moving the mouse = one dead enemy soldier.
IGI2 - use binos,hang on, where's the feckin crosshair gone?
make's the game a bit trickier , and for my money a bit less enjoyable. There also seems to be a distinct lack of medikits in IGI2.
