Complaining aside, I was finally going to give Combat Extended a playthrough. Is there there anything you lot suggest tweaking to make it a bit easier to get into it or should I go in as is and tweak stuff later if need be? My understanding is that it's a bit difficult at first, then it gradually gets easier as you get armor to prevent being one shot, then you get demolished by mechanoids unless you know how to use fire and heavy anti-tank stuff on them.
