I really couldn't believe this.  As of May 25, the same day as Seraneth's rescue, I have managed to send in crucial information about the General working behind the scenes, manipulating us to fight all of his scapegoats.  I attempted to warn Seraneth a couple weeks earlier, but he was not reachable sometime prior to his capture.  Not taking any chances, I managed to send in transmissions to Zion's second liaison, Vibb, containing the evidence.

 

The overview of the General: The General was in essence working behind the scenes, screwing every single side over.  His ultimate goal was to sabotage the Truce established between the Machines and Zion.  Various Zion operatives recovered such a file as of late March/early April as of last year.  Thankfully, Stack kept all of his files in his loading archive for future references. 

 

Steps taken to put Zion into dis-array/General's connection to the Assassin:

 

- Morpheus was doing everything in his power to recover Neo's body.  Meanwhile, the General had his LED Agents stalk Morpheus, and aided the then-obscured Cypherites by sabotaging hardlines.  The purpose of this was to prevent Morpheus from receiving any outside help.  In turn, Zion was not successful in apprehending Morpheus.  Although Morpheus supporters like myself were glad that he was not in Zion custody, the sad reality was that he was in danger.

 

- The Merovingian wanted Morpheus dead for an endless number of reasons and sent out the Assassin to carry out the assassination attempt.  The Assassin however had no luck finding Morpheus whatsoever on his own.  Here's the perfect murder: The General makes a deal with the Assassin and gives him the intel of Morpheus's whereabouts.  In essence, the Merovingian was not aware of the General and his innocence was genuine, despite the fact that he wanted Morpheus assassinated.

 

Result: The General managed to cloud Niobe's judgment, and at one point attempted to cover his tracks by trying to kill the Assassin before the Flit Guns were created. The cover-up was supported by a report found during a set of critical assignments during the development of the Flit Guns. The Assassin was the unknown entity referenced in the file.

 

Evidence: A Machinist operative I trust with my life (He shall *NOT* be named) had recovered an index card from a commando.  This was taken when the General wanted to ally with the Machines prior to aiding Zion.  The clue was "You'll catch more flies with garbage than honey." This heavily hinted that the General aided the Assassin.  The commando commited suicide possibly because of the card, and because the Agents knew about their imposter counterparts.  The General could have been deleted long before his plans came into fruition.

 

General's connection to the Cypherites:

 

I mentioned earlier that the Cypherites also sabotaged the hardlines when Zion was looking for Morpheus.  The General however provided more aid by sending in his LED Agents to assist them.  At one point last summer, Enmascarado made a death threat to random redpill operatives that they would die, prior to a massive battle with him.  A day later, those random redpill operatives targeted by Enmascarado were under attack by LED Agents. Coincidence? Too close to be a coincidence.  I was present in providing security detail for two of the targets.  The General aided the Cypherites until Enmascado's death, and left either due to the missing leadership, and/or the fact that the Cypherites were strong enough to fight on their own.

 

General screwing Zion over. Machines knew the truth:

 

With Niobe wanting to go to war with the Merv, the General had his perfect scheme.  He approaches Niobe and provides her the firepower Zion needed with his Commandos.  After having all Zion operatives jump through loops with loyalty tests, Zion already had an agreement with the General, despite massive protests by all Zion field operatives.  I was among the operatives that never trusted the General to begin with.  Now, he started to show his true colors by directing all Zion operatives into recovering a case containing "Cheat codes." Those "Cheat codes" were chemicals stolen from Kalt Chemicals some time ago, and the commandos were responsible for the set-up.  The General had an inside man, Anome, to manipulate us into gathering the case for them, thereby having Zion operatives fight against the Machines on a few occasions.  The Machines on the other hand were trying to recover something that shouldn't have been released in the first place, and knew that the General was provoking Zion into breaking the truce.

 

This was the time where I came in. I connected all of these dots together and understood the full story after some discussions with my Machine informant.  I'm glad that the warning is being sent to Zion command.

Assassination missions should be assassination missions (This one is okay)

 

Courier missions should be courier missions (only 90% of the time. The other 10% ends up being an assassination mission for some stupid reason.)

 

Retrieval missions should be retrieval missions (This one is okay)

 

Escort should stay as escort missions (This one is okay)

 

Rescue missions should involve rescue missions (Uh, this is basically being redundant to Escort missions. Doesn't rescue missions involve bring NPCs to hardlines or REP points?)

 

Infiltration missions should stay as infiltration missions (Instead, what we get is 10% Infiltration while the other 80% are the Courier/Retrieval missions)

 

Recruitment missions should be recruitment missions (Isn't the point of recruitment missions offering bluepills the choice to work for their respective organizations? Instead, it's just another name for Escort missions involving redpills.)

This is really beneficial for everyone, and it made the game more enjoyable than it already is. The problem with the old system is that anyone could spend as much as five hours and *NOT* get the red frags. If this is removed, a lot of people would riot since they would basically get nothing out of their hard-earned grinds.

Pistols and SMGS: Ballistic downgrade accuracies (which makes sense)

 

Rifles: Ballistic upgrade accuracy (Makes sense)

 

Shotguns: Ballistic upgrade accuracy (*CENSORED*?)

 

Shouldn't the order of guns in terms of accuracy be Sniper rifles> Assault Riffles> SMGS= Handguns> Shotguns? Shotguns may be powerful, but they really suck at travelling long distances when in free-fire mode.

 

Another thing that is bugging me. The rifles are supposed to be accurate stat-wise in CR 2.0, but whenever I fire the rifle, I feel like I'm back in the older version of the game, in which the rifles are *STILL* inaccurate regardless of the fact that my Rifleman tree is loaded. Hell, I even feel more accurate when using the Duelist tree.

I had this game since March 2005 and have been consistently playing until November. Unfortunately, I had a lag problem with FEAR and took it to Best Buy to have a fan installed. On top of that, the people that installed the fan forgot to update the drivers. For the past couple of months, my top-of-the-line PC has been very slow even at start-up, and the problem was finally solved as of this week.

 

Problem installing the game: "Feature Transfer Error.

Feature: Resources

 

File: Blank

 

Error: Catastrophic failure

 

Could it be from the transition to SOE? If not, how can I re-install the game?

See topic. I was considering about joining it, but don't know. If it is closed, I was not able to find the topic before the SOE transition.

I have posted this on the General Boards, but this is the only way I can get the attention of the administators and the topic has not been noticed. I'm also compiling some posts that were made throughout the past week/months and they really need heavy attention.

 

 

 

Posted by Chuui as of yesterday

 

This is the only solution that I can personally propose and I agree with her. Just inncrease the drop ratio for the red fragments. It's more productive to get ten fragments per hour rather than wasting five+ hours just to get one fragment.

Once in a while, the PC reboots on me whenever I jack out of the Matrix. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I'll send a /ccr as I log in.

Gothique has posted this in the Character Development topic and I honestly agree:

 

 

The problem is that there are those of us that want to get said Red Fragments from the correct M.O.B.s but we normally keep getting stuck with useless items that we don't want. It's not even productive if we have to spend two+ hours just to get a red fragment. Not everyone has a luxury of time to do red-frag farming all day long especially for those that have school/college/work not to mention that the Downtown lag is barely fixed.

 

As for the un-used items, I agree to some extent. It's a bit of a hassle to just go back to a hard-line, switch to coder, create said items, then revert back to whatever combat tree you want. I'm hoarding some SMGs just because I don't know if I'm going to use them or not.

Is there any way we could have a better chances of getting the red fragments? I understand that they are supposed to be rare, but this idea is ridiculous. I have been fighting M.O.B.s for two hours and I only got ONE fragment. On a related note, a friend of mine has been playing for THREE hours and found NOTHING.

Just decided to create this topic since a new patch just came out today and there's no description of it at launch-up. This is for the administrators.
