I have heard that the PC interface for hacking in DE:HR really sucks
rocks. On the PS3, it's far, far easier.

Heh, All I know is that I didn't have a problem, and I am using a PC.
lol But then, I emphasized hacking first, before anything much else, in
my upgrades, so.. that probably made a huge difference.

Rating go down, as you upgrade. So, pretty good odds that your upgrades
are not high enough for the nodes you are taking on. Otherwise...

OK, so I upgraded the Capture and Stealth abilities to maximum. Now
hacking just about anything is... almost trivially easy, actually. I've
now got about a dozen Nuke viruses, and I never end up using them. Every
single node is rated at 15%, and the network almost never detects me.
So I guess that's the secret, then. You just have to win a boatload of
praxis points somehow...

I just noticed something.
I hacked someone's computer. All it had on it was a few emails. But I
can't help noticing... either I'm going mad, or the text is that email
is a word-for-word transcript of the intro to HalfLife, with "Black
Mesa" replaced with "Omega Prime".
...or maybe I really *am* going mad! That's one hell of an in-gag...
