Bioshock DVD9-ONEHiTWONDER

Finally after a 3 days of waiting a cracked version of highly anticipated X360 and PC game Bioshock is released by group ONEHitWONDER. I know many of you out there have been waiting for this game and got your first taste of it with the demo released a few days ago. This release is quite big coming in at 6GB and requiring 8GB of your HD for installation. System requirements are also quite high as you probably know by now. The NFO states that this ONEHiTWONDER’s first and only release hence the name “ONEHiTWONDER” so don’t expect any more from them. Download and enjoy this fine game :)

Edit:
Nukewar is finished… result: officially NUKED for bad.crack_no.compression. Lot of people complain about not working crack etc. Keep the image, and wait for a working crack!

BioShock is the “genetically enhanced” first person shooter that lets you do things never before possible in the genre: turn everything into a weapon, biologically mod your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques in an incredible and unique underwater city.

You are a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces, and hunted down by genetically modified “splicers” and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way.

BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won’t be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies. Here’s just a few things you can do a foe:

Features:

  • Catch his Grenades in Mid Air and Toss Them Back at Him
  • Freeze Him Solid and Shatter Him with Smack of your Wrench
  • Lead him and his comrades to water and Zap them all with 1000 Volts
  • Burn Him Up With Home-Made Molotov Cocktails
  • Booby Trap Healing Machines and Watch Them Blow up IN his Face
  • Brainwash Him to Become Your Personal BodyGuard
  • Invent your own Ammo Types to Prey on his Vulnerabilities
  • Turn his own Security System Against Him
  • Light Him on Fire and Launch Heat Seeking Missiles At him
  • Torment Him with Plagues of Insects
  • Take Research Photos of Him to Learn his Weaknesses
  • Send Him Flying into the Ceiling to Knock him Senseless

System Requirements:

  • Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista
  • Optical Drive: DVD-ROM
  • CPU Speed: Minimum-Pentium 4 2.5 GHz (single core) Reccommended-Intel Core 2 Duo Or AMD Athlon 64 X2

    Actually, you’ll need more than 8GB of HD during the “circumvention” process of the protection. After normal installation, you’ll have to duplicate the whole Bioshock dir, thus you’ll need twice the space. Though you can delete the old data when you’re done.

    You dont actually need to copy the installed game files to a new directory, you can just rename the directory when the pop up window appears at the end of install. This prevents the installer deleting them.

    Reloaded will obviously be the better choice (when the time comes), but the actual download itself should still work. You would just have to find a torrent of just the Reloaded crack.

  49. August 25th, 2007 | 15:24

    it’s too bad my gfx card can’t support ps 3.x. thank goodness i tried the demo first. it’s a pass until i upgrade my system.

    So has anyone really got this crack/release to work?

    i just wanted to make a post because we have like 120 posts almost now and i fealt like adding to it…and besides….stop bitching i know that half you nerds can crack this, you all know c++ and all that bullshit…well i dont so fuck…you guys are just to pussy to do it..just like this group..this is our only release well fuck we dont gcare because you have no glory your fucking crack doesnt work…and if you think about it the real problem could just be that the crack needs to be redone cause whoever coded it got it to work on their pc’s but not others…and why the fuck am i hereing all of you saying that your runing vista…are you fucking retarded…the game will run wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy faster on xp….dont download vista ..waiste of fucking time…this is nuked….either try to make a un-safedisc crack so you can use it..which i believe “need for speed most wanted” has (at least the russian version)crack mac…just open it up on some c++ compiler and edit the code…look for something that says…dick dont entered delete and write soem code like this

    public int ExecuteAssembly(
    string fileName,
    Evidence assemblySecurity,
    );

    this will probably not work but if your bored try it out..please dont delete this comment…lol

    To remove the securom reg, instead of RegDelNull and typing that in CMD; couldnt you get the same result by start->run->RegEdit; search of “Securom” and delete it? Isnt it essentially the same thing?

    And BTW, i rather wait for a quality release where a group strips this crap off the game :D

  122. August 25th, 2007 | 17:56

    Bako1, you sir are a retard. You cannot simply “open it up on some c++ compiler and edit the code.” In case you didn’t know, the C++ compiler compiles the C++ code into ASM. You can disassemble the ASM, and perhaps reconstruct pseudo C++ but almost never get the original code. Stop acting like you know how to crack. You can’t and will just keep leeching.

    i mean you can never stop us!!!!!!!!!!!

    btw fuck you …i was just messing around…i have no fucking idea about anything on any language…if i could hack it with registry i would do it..one problem..im fucking poor and im running a computer bought in 2001….so fuck off…yeah its a song yeah i got a weak ass process 2.1ghz..yeah i only have 1gb of ram…but fuck you…

    Someone has bought the PC version, this is what it says when you try to install it before the release date

    http://image.bayimg.com/oafphaabk.jpg

    The BioShock installer will automatically patch to the latest version of the BioShock game application as part of the install process. YOU MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE GAME.

    A progress bar will show the state of the patch download. Please do not interrupt the download or deactivate your internet connection during the download. If the download does not complete successfully, you can attempt to restart the download using the Start/Restart button.

    The downloader uses internet proxy and port settings as set up through Internet Explorer. If you have not set these, you can manually configure proxy and port settings in the BioShock installer. If you’re not sure what values to put here, contact your ISP or 2K support at http://www.2kgames.com/bioshock/support/.

    Some internet security software may detect this download as a Trojan or other compromisation of internet security.

    1. The exe shortcut has no icon.
    2. The exe jumps to that dos screen and says that.
    3. Unplugging. Uninstalling. Changing the system date. Etc. Does Not work.
    4. The game connects to an autopatcher at the end of install.
    —-> If you kill that autopatcher, it rolls back the install.
    —-> If you say you don’t want to patch, it kills the install.

    looks like all ypu pirates are gonna have to buy the game lol.

  128. Bako1
    August 25th, 2007 | 18:10

    plus for anybody who wants to try this out somebody says they think it will work on demonoid..so give it a try

    If you have Zone Alarm, when the installer tries to run securerom to check the disc, Zone Alarm will stop it cause it is suspicious behavior, that’s the perfect time to swap image

  130. Bako1
    August 25th, 2007 | 18:12

    btw some ppl cant follow instructiions maybe this is the problem

    before the patch auto-downloads, cancel the setup in taskmanager

    then you are supposed to put the cracked files in the directory

    next, you need to ‘activate’

    then mount the mini image

    finally hit the fixed start button and play the game. simple :D

    August 25th, 2007 | 19:01

    i just thought of something what if…..we run some kind of hack to copy all the server then make our own server and patch it so it redirects you to that server and it fixes it automatically…then you continue installing the game and all you do is change a small link in the installer…but you will probably have to get into their server (we need tough hacker for that on)

    well, everytime i think aobut it its funnier…everytime a company boasts of having uncrackable protection…like microsoft about windows vista…the sadder their downfall…
    only problem with this is that apple crack it..and release it to a dutch scene group and i actually know one the members…lol hilarious how this stuff get cracked like companies crack it for each other..funny if sony crack this , even funnier if razor is just sony operatives…or all gruops could be just company hired people to crack each others work…

    found another manual crack method that sounds like it works..

    1. Mount
    2. Install…wait for it to finish…once it starts downloading patch…copy the install folder directery somewhere else…like from C:/program files/bioshock to C:/bioshock or anywhere you want
    4-let the installer undo itself and apply the cracker paul.dll and game .exe to the copied folder
    5-PLAY!

    btw! just found this…read this i dont understand a word this guys is saying try it out

    OK, everyone listen up, with the release of the MAXI image (http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1318825/2415950/) you no longer need to copy the directory during install and end up missing several files. Here’s what you do:

    Step 1: Download this: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1318825/2415950/

    Step 2: Mount the real bioshock image (this one) and copy the whole thing to a folder on your computer.

    Step 3: Mount the MAXI image (http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1318825/2415950/).

    Step 4: Go to the directory where you copied all the files and run the autoloader and install the game.

    PRESTO! Everything installs, including the autopatcher and you get all those files that you normally didn’t get… Only problem now is activation, but at least everyone can get a full and complete install now…

    Exactly ! Works fine !

  159. aCiDmAn66
    August 25th, 2007 | 19:56

    and where the hell do you get paul.dll?
    i have tons of .exes now, but they don´t
    go round the activation…

    (just want to activate the dvd version of the game,
    because this is uncut. i have the original CUT version
    bought through steam and it kicks ass, but it want to
    see the uncut…)

  162. aCiDmAn66
    August 25th, 2007 | 20:04

    i´m not worried about getting arrested…
    i have it in my steam account and that SHOULD
    allow me to also install the uncut version,
    since i am old enough to see the game UNCUT.

    damn steam doesn´t allow downloading uncut
    version in germany. i´d need to go for the
    austrian version instead.

    Could anyone who actually bought the game post a “serial”, you may change all the numbers and letter but since the release should work with “any” serial it might need to be in the right format…

    yeah it works if you do the combo of mounting the mini image and installing from the dvd 9, but it gets stuck on the activation. The manual activate option shouldn’t be too hard to crack since Adobe’s software as basically the same thing and it’s cracked.

    finally, i managed to play through the demo with the pixel shader 2 hack from the official forum. i like the sound. the gameplay is similar to system shock. i love the story and atmosphere (would look better with ps 3.0 card).

    you can uninstall securom from your system after uninstalling the demo. it just takes some work that the casual pc user will not know (or willing to invest the time to learn).

    1. Bioshock is probably the most hyped game so far, and undeservedly so. This is a shiny, near-linear oversized attempt at reaching Deus Ex. And a miserable failure at that.

    2. Reliable cracks of the latest SecuROM are very hard to come by. It will be quite some time until a proper one surfaces…
    …Then 3 days later the game will auto-patch or fail to start if you disallow it, thus fucking up your playtime.

    3. Someone ban that utter moron of a script-kiddie Bako1, PLEASE. He tries too much and seems to be entering his teens as we speak. I’ll even be nice and say an honest thank you after you rid us of the pest.

  210. DooshPopper
    August 26th, 2007 | 08:10

    Well it took me 20 hrs to “almost” complete the game.

    I bought it ofcourse and was well worth the purchase, but the only problem is the activation……… You only get 5 installs until the key is invalid, and the limit the key can be used on different computers is now 5.

    Elizibath said they will be introducing a “Revoke” system which will make the limited install thing obsolite.

    But until then we just gotta sit tight.

    Also @ people Downloading the game, shame on you……….. This is the best game in years and how do you thank the devs for the Millions of $$$ and time they put into the game…………………….

    Fucking download it………… so now us people that buy the game gotta have fucking DRM invasive shit on our computers…………..

    Fuck you very much !

    Before any1 blows me up in flames and stuff let me say i am a dirty software thief and cannot wait for a working crack, however;
    Every single crack out there right now is a load of fake/non working bullshit. As for the ’start button not working’ hack, d4op admits it won’t work beacause it gives you a good message about activation being successful but in fact it isn’t – the game still thinks it has not been activated. The game cannot be cracked simply by hacking paul.dll – it will not work (check steam underground comments) Unpacking the original .exe is not going to be easy and even people who understand how these things work admit that it will have to be done by the pro’s. So lets hold back on all the bullshit cracks which are only serving to slow and confuse us, and let each other know when a PROPER crack is released by one of the big boys such as reloaded etc. Cheers and i bet the next comment after this will be written by an inbred mutant pig-f*****g nobwit with stinky lubwitzers and a brain smaller than a planktons donger. Just a guess.

    @Chris (206)

    I was going to buy this game – but when i buy something i expect to own it, not be told i can only install on so many machines/so many times and not that i have to choke up my system with crap like rootkits and securom in order to play.

    A win for drm in that it hasn’t been cracked yet, but a loss in sales from me and many others no doubt – I’ll wait on a working release, if it doesn’t show then so be it.

    It may be a great game, but this new protection crap is the start of a slippery slope leading to all kinds of problems for legitimate users who actually intended to buy the game, and for the pirates among us it just means we’ll be waiting a bit longer to play it but we’ll get the benefit of no anti piracy software infestation on our pc’s.

  222. Jas
    August 26th, 2007 | 13:49

    If this game is Steam..I don’t think anyone has actually written a crack for it. Instead like HL2 Repacks had to be made. Or if it’s SecuROM, like POPTT, I don’t think that’s has been cracked either yet :/… I hope it happens. Good luck professional peoples *fingers crossed*.

    Admins, delete comment 206.

    So why was this nuked? Given that people had it working in dx10 and is the closest anyone has got so far.
    I usually get the impression a scene release gets nuked and is followed by one thats 100% working however theres been nothing.
    Come on guys!!!:)

  224. August 26th, 2007 | 14:00

    something you all should know about this release before you download. This is from one of the Guys who brought you this release :

    “Bioshock

    Hi everyone, here is some files patched by the a team from Steam Underground.
    Here is the different steps to go through the install :

    1- Mount the image with latest Daemon Tool or other emulation program
    2- Install the game
    3- When you have the error message, go to the directory you installed the game and rename it, like Bioshock 2 or whatever.
    4- Then click on the error button to end the installation
    5- Download a bioshock.exe from mininova or try to find it in your temporary files
    6- Copy and past the files included in this torrent (erase if necessary)
    7- Click on the bioshock.exe
    8- Now the activation is bypassed and you can enter whatever serial

    This is where we are actually stucked, we still don’t know how to make the button ” Start ” works.

    The best advice is to wait news from the scene, maybe a crack will comes out soon, and if the actual problem is solve, we’ll let you know. Check the forum, or gamecopyworld.com daily”

  225. August 26th, 2007 | 14:42

    Shit, after playing the demo I came to the conclusion to buy the game and support 2k.

    CoC:DCotE
    Dungeon Siege 2
    Oblivion
    Jade Empire
    Prey
    Serious Sam 2
    Sid meiers Civilization 4
    Vietcong 2

    All games i’d downloaded for free….. so time to give some hard cash support.. .

    until i read this:
    [quote]As it stands now, this system is worse than Starforce, Steam, or any other copy protection system we’ve seen. The SecuROM servers aren’t reliable at the moment, and the two activations limit imposed on BioShock literally leaves no room for error: what if your system has a fatal error and you aren’t able to uninstall it properly, or what if someone doesn’t know they’re limited to just two activations and wipes their hard drive without uninstalling the game first? After all, do you know many people who manually uninstall all their apps before they wipe their drive and re-install? Or what about someone who sells their old PC and buys a new one, but forgets to manually uninstall BioShock? What if your laptop is stolen? There are just so many different scenarios that can leave end users with no BioShock activations left and therefore at the mercy of 2K Games and SecuROM. It’s really a ridiculous system, and what makes things even more frustrating is they don’t mention any of this in the game’s documentation, nor do they provide a way to reach someone on the phone 24/7 to get potential activation problems resolved.[/quote]

    fuck itttt, then i’ll download a proper cracked version and wait for the GotY edition without rootkits and shit

    August 26th, 2007 | 15:09

    Damn will i didnt get that far i mounted using dameon tools,then it asked for the original dvd before it even would completed the install.I try mounted the game with dameon tools 9 then mounted the mini image with version 10 but still picked up no dvd serom error.Im amazed you got far enough to get it installed in a directory i might buy game as well since it got 5 out of 5 stars in gamer tv.Ill still hang off for a razor or reloaded answer first.

    So, what is the solution if i want to play this game? buy no food? pay no charges-bills?

    Either that, or get back to your sweatshops and keep making those shoes for minimum wage, cause I need a new pair.

    and how the fuck do you have the money for a pc to run this game in the first place? If a game is half your paycheck, the pc must be a 10 year plan.

    I got this Razor Patch via email I am not sure if its real and I can not test it now my girlfriend has my laptop. It looks legit though.

    disclaimer: I got the crack emailed to me by a friend I have absolutely no idea if it is genuine but if it is it is a crack that has not been made public yet.

    point: neither rzr nor pdx nor rld and similar have pred any patch or crack. everything you dl right now is utter bullshit (and trojans). by the way, bioshock doesn’t cost 60 bucks, it’s 38€ on play.com free-shipped at your fucking home, or, if you prefer, 58$ via steam. also, the limit you’re talking about it is NOT what you think it is. it’s just that you can’t install the same copy on more than 5 pcs at once. now then, are you fucking kiddin me? you need to play the game on 6 machines at the same time? no way. when you uninstall it, it frees up a slot. if you change your gpu, it’s still valid. the hardware hash is computed on your motherboard, if you don’t change that, the counter doesn’t increase. even if it does, you just have to uninstall properly before upgrading. even if you break the 5-installations-limit, you just have to phone a tollfree number and let them blank it out for ya. c’mon peeps, it’s since hl2 and oblivion that a game isn’t worth buying: this one is.

    A keygen is probably impossible, since this seems to be an actually properly implemented challenge/response protection (strong asymmetric cryptography algorithm that can’t be broken). With a lot of effort the game might be cracked maybe, but I wouldn’t count on it too soon.

    it’s possible to use some of the retail files in the demo.

    for instance, you can change the main menu to show new game, load, etc instead of demo. but you can’t save even though there is a gui page for it.

    some graphics were left out of the demo version. you can “restore” them from the retail copy. this enhances the game a bit.

    also the dev/log console will show scripts executing and you can use commands like “open” to open a map. unfortunately, it’s not possible to open anything other than the demo maps. it would seem there is a “lock” placed in the demo exe that prevents loading any level other than the demo ones.

    on the bright side, you can enable ‘hard’ mode this way. when you use health it eats up more of your supply. the splicers are much tougher to take down too.

  282. Jagshamesh
    August 27th, 2007 | 14:53

    THIS GAME WILL ONLY WORK ON GRAPHICS CARDS WITH SHADER 3.0 OR ABOVE!

    I like you. Do you like me?

  283. August 27th, 2007 | 15:02

    @283 — not true. if you have shader 2.0/2.0a/2.0b, you can use the (unofficial) SM2.0 hack from the official 2K forum. it’s currently at beta 1. but it’ll allow shader 2.x folks to play through bioshock without shader 3.x card.

  295. August 27th, 2007 | 19:31

    There have been some concerns that the copy protection was something nobody had ever seen before, except for the online procedure, there’s nothing different. There’s nothing wacky going on there, at some point we’ll move back from online activation. If people want to play BioShock ten years from now, they’ll be able to play it. We have a commitment from 2K that that is going to happen and we’ll hold them to that commitment and they’re serious about it, we’ll make that happen.
    from the interview on http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/24/joystiq-interviews-bioshocks-ken-levine-about-success-and-harve/

    so… atleast we won the fight… and the european version will be online activation free… hopefully… and oh yeah… if you can read between the lines… Bioshock2 is in production ^^

  296. August 27th, 2007 | 19:37

  297. Altas is Fontaine
    August 27th, 2007 | 19:38

    So you kill Ryan midway through the game, only to find out Atlas/Fontaine manipulated you to do it.
    Your player’s past is a fake memory, you were made in a lab to do everything said to you when added “…would you kindly…”
    That’s why you kill Ryan.
    Oh, and at the end, you get to be a big daddy.

    The two endings are; you raise all the little sisters into adulthood, or you kill em all for the Adam.

  298. August 27th, 2007 | 19:40

    @298 ! if you read throughout the posts you’ll see that many people fucked up the game for us… so i won’t curse you… because i’ve read that spoiler atleast 50 times…

    August 27th, 2007 | 19:41

    It is an awkward situation, all this nuke war thing. What I think is that REQUIRING internet connection in order to install a game is crap. Just like HL2. You have a great game here (probably) and you get pissed off by the company’s methods to protect it. Anyway, no crack seems to be working, and everything looks fake as hell. I’ve allready seen “razor’s”, “hoodlum’s”, “Reloaded’s” and it’s total crap. Be warned, and be prepared to format once again !

    Well have to hand it to you RE:. Really got me on that one. At least I got my ONEHIT copy to work, bypassed activation. Too bad you had to be an assramming cockmaster and ruin it for everyone else. PWNT

    P.S. – No lie. I will be exploring Rapture while you go on to live the life of a dickhead. Hope you guys figure it out soon. Its fun! You don’t actually get the fire plasmid until much later than i thought. The demo was actually doing you a favor. Max had it pretty close with that msvcr80.dll error.

    Just buy it and be done with it.

    This is the game that separates or divides those who would rather steal EVERY piece of software they own, and those who pirate then purchase like most .nfo files suggest. Either way neither group of fiends is better than the other.

    I suggest buying this game, it’s one of the few games this year (Half Life 2 Orange box, Call of Duty 4, Crisis, Hellgate: London, and World in Conflict) that warrant a purchase of your hard earned dollars. Bioshock seems to be one of those games that never crack quite right. Although people said that about HL2, now look how the scene has circumvented steam.

    All I’m saying is, this is one of the small number of games worth purchasing.

    August 29th, 2007 | 15:17

    Nah I’ll keep the hack to myself and you all can sit and think about me playing. Oh this game is so great; here is my review that I wrote.
    What can I say. ..?
    Well after the thousand or so WW II shooters out there It’s nice to see a great origional story line. Bioshock give me the feeling I had the first time I played HL & HL 2. Dark Messiah and STALKER almost did it but with all the bugs ithey fell a bit short. I have herd of some people having issues with playability but so far I’m smooth sailing; save for the occasional hanging fireball. The Hack feature while it does get a little old after a while is a great twist and all the choices to be made @ vending machines, Uinvents, and weapon upgrades as well as the variety in which you can dispatch you enemies seems to give this game great replayability. Well I off. time to get back to rapture and see what else is in store for me.
    never played any of the Systemshock games, so this was my first visit to the shock world. I can’t say I am very impressed either. Except for when it comes to graphics. The graphics are absolutely wonderful.

    It doesn’t matter if I am looking out the window, looking at surroundings indoors or just looking at the enemies. They’re all very well done. Animation is ok, nothing spectacular. They managed to get that feeling of everything being wet or damp in a good way.

    The voice acting is good as well. Nothing spectacular, since you rarely have any conversations with anyone. No wait, you NEVER have any conversation with anyone. All you do is listen to your radio and random tapes you find. I always find it lacking when the main character is void of personality and lines to speak.

    The story then?
    Well, have you played Doom 3? Or F.E.A.R.? If you have, you know the drill. Listen to your radio, listen to tapes scattered all over the place. That works well in both Doom 3 and F.E.A.R. for two simple reasons. 1: In Doom 3, you are usually familiar with the setting, and what the game is about. (I suspect most of you out there has played Doom 1 and/or Doom 2) In F.E.A.R. it all plays out in “our” world. Also copied elements from Doom 3 (the scattered messages) and The Ring (scary little girls who go on a killing spree) You can relate to these things. Bioshock? An underwater city in the 1950’s with scattered messages all over. Unregulated by any government except its own, which is a crazy guy with too much money who built it all. First of all, the city is huge. In order to have the funds to build it, you have to be so rich that if you add up all the money in the world right now, it still wouldn’t be enough. It’s just a bit too extreme, at least for me and I am a sci-fi nerd. It just doesn’t strike me as believable. Also the scattered messages, it worked well in Doom 3 and F.E.A.R. because you could relate. I really can’t relate to an underwater world gone insane in the 1950’s. Sorry, I just can’t.

    The main character is a mystery too. A lone survivor from a plane who crashed without any reason (or so it seems, nothing in the story so far indicates why it crashed) who then when he enters this strange underwater world, takes the first syringe he can find with a glowy content and proceeds to shoot up. SAY WHAT? If I, especially in the 1950’s with their very limited technology, found an underwater city, believe me when I say that the first thing I do when I find a syringe with a glowing content is NOT to inject it into anything. Story wise, too much doesn’t add up. Ambitious yes, but not believable.

    The game is fairly entertaining but not all it’s cracked up to be.

    Well i bought this for my 360 after playing the demo, my isnt man enough to do it justice.

    even on the suposedly inferior 360 platform I think this game is well worth £35, which is prob less in the states.

    The games company obviously have put so much into this game, I’d say to anyone who can afford to buy it to buy it. it rewards them for making such a cool game. and lets face it none of you would still be arsing around trying to hack it when u could be playing.

    Best game Ive played since original halflife, if ur gonna buy one game this year i suggest you make it this one.

    Have fun!!!!

    What wiki says about bio shock…
    BioShock is a first-person shooter with RPG customization elements to the game, similar to that found in the spiritual predecessor, System Shock 2. A 14 minute video showing gameplay and some of the game’s AI was released on September 20, 2006.[9]

    The player collects weapons, health packs, and Plasmids that give him special powers such as telekinesis or electro-shock, while fighting off the deranged population of the underwater city of Rapture. The player at times will need to use stealth to slip by security cameras and foes, and can also hack into security stations to turn automated drones to his side.

    The main resources in the game are ADAM, EVE, and Money. ADAM is used for character growth, EVE (which is similar to “mana” in fantasy RPGs) allows the use of Active Plasmids, and Money allows the purchase of special items and ammunition as well as bribing, or effectively ‘buying off’ security bots and turrets.

    To adapt and advance his character, the player can spend ADAM to gain Plasmids to modify himself and give himself new or enhanced abilities and weapons. These are grouped under the Combat, Engineering, Active, and Physical trees. The “Active” Plasmids are essentially alternate weapons, activated by the player in order to be used. The other classes of Plasmids (referred to as Tonics) are passive ability-boosters. One Tonic (Camouflage) causes the character to become invisible when he is not moving.

    The developers encourage the player to use their super-powered plasmids imaginatively[citation needed]. Plasmids are versatile, and the player can use them in concert with each other and the environment to great effect. For example, one of the first bosses the player will face is a crazed surgeon. The player can use Incinerate to set him on fire, then as he tries to put himself out in a pool of water the player can use ElectroBolt to electrocute the water. While he is stunned and convulsing, the player can hack a nearby medical station so that it will poison the surgeon when he tries to heal himself. Telekinesis can be used on anything not nailed down; not only can the player catch grenades or rockets and throw them back at an enemy, he can also pick up a burning object and throw it to set an enemy on fire, or even defuse and re-set traps. The player has a limited number of slots to use on different types of Plasmids, so they have to decide which ones to arm themselves with and which to put into storage.

    It is hinted that some (if not all) Plasmids alter the character’s appearance (some screenshots show the character’s hands with a texture similar to some of the splicers’ skin), keeping up with the theme of “sacrificing your humanity” referenced by Ryan in one of the game’s trailers.[10] The ‘improved’ versions of Plasmids have a more drastic effect on the player’s appearance (for example, the initial Electro Bolt Plasmid has little effect on the player’s appearance, however when upgraded to Electro Bolt 2, warts and skin disfigurations can be clearly seen on the player’s hand). In all, there are over 70 plasmids and tonics.

    There is also weapon customization. The player can alter weapons to hold bigger magazines, to augment firepower, etc.. The player can also equip each weapon with three different kinds of ammo (for example, the revolver can shoot normal, anti-personnel and armor piercing bullets). There is also a camera in the game that can be used to learn an enemy’s weakness.

    The player also has access to a type of vending machine called U-Invent[citation needed], where the player can combine bits of scrap found around Rapture to create ammo, traps, hacking devices, and so on. Instead of reloading a saved game state if death occurs, the player will simply respawn at the nearest Vita Chamber.[11]

    Plot

    The player takes the role of Jack (taken from the name on the package he holds), a passenger on a plane that crashes over the Atlantic Ocean near Rapture in 1960. Descending into Rapture via a bathysphere terminus, he discovers the city has fallen into chaos. As Jack’s bathysphere completes its journey to the city, a man called Atlas, communicating through a short-wave radio, directs Jack to safety from nearby Splicers. Ryan watches Jack’s every move through the security cameras and thinks him to be a CIA or KGB agent; as a result, Ryan repeatedly uses Rapture’s automated systems and his Splicer armies, controlled by pheromones pumped into Rapture’s air supply, to slow down and kill Jack. Atlas tells Jack that the only way he can survive is to inject himself with plasmids and to use the abilities they give him. Atlas also tells Jack to kill the Little Sisters, in order to harvest the ADAM they carry to become more powerful. Dr. Tenenbaum, who is also watching Jack’s progress, insists that Jack only kill the sea slug, so as to rescue the human girl within each Little Sister; while Jack would gain some ADAM but not as much as by killing the Sister, Dr. Tenenbaum promises that she will reward him greatly for saving the girls.[14]

    As Jack works his way through the city, he learns through audio journals and diaries of the deceased left about Rapture. Prior to the collapse of society, Ryan’s power was challenged by other groups. Frank Fontaine, a mobster that smuggled goods into the city, had sufficient power, money, and supporters to fight against Ryan. Atlas himself was a leading political figure in an uprising group; as a result, Atlas’s wife and child were kidnapped from him and locked away in a bathysphere, which is why Atlas assists Jack, in hopes he will help save them. Unfortunately, as soon as the two arrive, Ryan sadistically causes the bathysphere to explode; an enraged Atlas tells Jack he must find and kill Ryan. Jack moves through the wreckage to Ryan’s Splicer-patrolled residence.

    Eventually Jack makes his way to Ryan, who has stopped putting up any resistance to Jack’s efforts. Instead, he reveals to Jack why he is here: Jack was actually born in Rapture; Ryan’s illegitimate son as a result of an affair with Jasmine Jolene, a prostitute. Ryan further informs Jack that he was trained by Fontaine to be an assassin. Fontaine sent him topside when he was two years old, then just prior to the present of the game, sent him instructions that trigger his conditioning to hijack a plane, crash it near Rapture’s surface entrance, seek out Ryan, and assassinate him. Ryan calmly demonstrates Jack’s lack of free will by ordering Jack to kill him, using the trigger phrase “Would you kindly…”. Jack realizes that Atlas has been using the same phrase since he arrived in Rapture. After Ryan is dead, Atlas reveals himself to be Fontaine. With Ryan dead, Fontaine no longer needs Jack, and leaves him to the fatally dangerous security systems of Ryan’s residence. However, Dr. Tenenbaum and her Little Sisters save Jack before security kills him.

    After Jack recovers, Dr. Tenenbaum assists him in getting to Fontaine by working out how to break Jack’s conditioned responses to Fontaine’s orders, including those that temporarily stop his heart[citation needed]. Dr. Tenenbaum predicts that the only way to approach Fontaine would be to assemble a Big Daddy suit and follow the rescued Little Sisters through passageways only they can access. As Jack approaches, Fontaine, fearing for his life, injects himself with all the ADAM he had stored up, becoming an inhuman monster. Jack and the Little Sisters are eventually able to subdue Fontaine.

    Depending on player actions before this point, one of two things will happen. If during the game the player rescued the Little Sisters , as requested by Dr. Tenenbaum, the Little Sisters swarm Atlas/Fontaine and stab him to death with their ADAM needles. The Little Sisters are then shown leaving Rapture. Tenenbaum goes on to explain that thanks to Jack, they can live normal lives in the outside world. The last scene is of an elderly Jack on his death bed, comforted by the now-adult Little Sisters. Dr. Tenenbaum notes that, “Jack received a family.”

    If the player has harvested the Little Sisters as urged on by Atlas/Fontaine, Jack is overcome with his lust for ADAM and snatches the nearest Little Sister when Fontaine is dead. The first person view ends and Tenenbaum begins a monologue in which she discusses how disgusted she is with Jack for his cruelty and lack of control, implying that he killed the Little Sisters. At the same time, a silent cut scene takes place in which a naval submarine surveying the downed plane’s crash site is surrounded with bathysphere pods from below. The sailors on the submarine’s deck gawk as the dozens of bathyspheres emerge from the ocean, carrying several Splicers each. The Splicers slaughter the submarine crew, and the camera halts on one of the sub’s onboard ICBMs before fading to black.

    [edit] Plot Holes

    Several possible plot holes exist in the story of Bioshock. The player is informed that he can use the vitachambers as he has part of Ryan’s DNA, yet when Ryan is killed the player is made to believe that he is permanently dead. Secondly the player is under the spell of Fontaine throughout the game up until he kills Ryan, yet the player is given the choice of harvesting or rescuing the little sisters, despite the fact that Atlas (Fontaine) tells him to harvest them.
    nfluences

    Levine has stated in an interview with gaming website IGN that the project has drawn on many influences, mostly from utopian and dystopian literature; “I have my useless liberal arts degree, so I’ve read stuff from Ayn Rand and George Orwell, and all the sort of utopian and dystopian writings of the 20th century, which I’ve found really fascinating.” He also states that he wanted to confront challenges that face the modern world such as “stem cell research and the moral issues that go around”.[15]

    In an interview appearing in gaming magazine EGM, Levine states:
    “ As a kid, I was obsessed with 1984 and Logan’s Run. I love exploring what happens when good ideas fall apart. ”

    The Shining(both the Stanley Kubrick film and Stephen King novel) has also been credited as being a huge influence by the developers in an IGN interview. The game’s spooky atmosphere has many thematic similarities to the Overlook Hotel.

    One reviewer compared BioShock to Orson Welles’ 1941 film, Citizen Kane, both of which are set in post-war America.[16]

    [edit] Similarities to System Shock series

    According to the developers, Bioshock is a spiritual successor to the System Shock games, and was developed by former developers of that series. Levine pointed out many similarities during his narration of a video initially screened for the press at E3 2006:[17] There are several comparable game play elements: Plasmids serve the same function as Psionic Abilities from System Shock 2; the player needs to deal with security cameras, turrets, and drones with the abilities to hack these; ammo conservation is stressed as “a key gameplay feature”, and audio recordings serve as the same storytelling device that email logs did.[17] The “ghosts” from System Shock 2, phantom images who replay tragic incidents in the places they occurred, also exist in BioShock, as do modifiable weapons with multiple ammunition types.

    [edit] Engine

    BioShock was initially developed using an enhanced version of the Vengeance engine, the highly modified version of Unreal Engine 2.5 technology used by previous Irrational titles Tribes: Vengeance, SWAT 4, and SWAT 4: The Stetchkov Syndicate. In an interview at E3 in May 2006, Levine announced a switch to a modified Unreal Engine 3.0. Levine emphasized the enhanced water effects, which he claimed would be very impressive: “We’ve hired a water programmer and water artist, just for this game, and they’re kicking ass and you’ve never seen water like this.”[18]

    BioShock utilizes the DirectX 10 feature set when available, but it will also run on older DirectX 9 hardware.[19]

    While industry rumors suggested that there might be a PlayStation 3 version of BioShock, based on the presence of text referencing the PlayStation 3 in the PC demo’s configuration files, Ken Levine has denied that there is any PS3 version in development. The demo is reportedly from an older build of the game, and an exclusive deal has been signed with Microsoft since then, limiting the title to Windows and Xbox 360.[20]

    [edit] Demo

    A free demo was released on Xbox Live Marketplace on August 12, 2007.[21] The PC demo was officially released on August 20, 2007. The official version of the PC demo is available for download from FileFront, FilePlanet, and GameSpot, and is also made available through the digital distribution program Steam (activation required).

    Larry Hryb (also known as Major Nelson) chatted with Ken Levine on his podcast about the BioShock demo.[22] The demo contains the first 45 minutes of the game and includes a beginning cinematic that established a setting and beginning plot lines. The demo also introduced a few weapons, such as the pistol and the machine gun, along with powers that can be used by the main character, such as ElectroBolt and Incinerate; some of these would normally be found later in the game, but were added in the demo in order to give players a taste of the full game.

    Biography

    [edit] Early life

    Black is the son of two satellite engineers. His mother, Judith Cohen, is Jewish, while his father, Thomas Jack Black, Sr., converted.[1] He was raised in the Jewish religion.[2] His parents divorced when he was 10. Black moved to Culver City with his father and frequently visited his mother’s home until the end of his first year of college at UCLA when his father’s family moved abroad. As a child, Black appeared in an early Atari Pitfall! commercial,[3] which was later shown during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and again on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

    When he entered high school, his parents suggested that he transfer to the Poseidon School, a private secondary school engineered specifically for students struggling in the traditional school system.[4] Black eagerly accepted the proposition, afraid that he would only be bullied if he remained in public school. He also attended the Crossroads School, where he excelled in drama. Black later attended UCLA but dropped out during his sophomore year to pursue a career in the entertainment business, at which point his father discontinued his financial support. Fellow UCLA veteran Tim Robbins later cast Black in Bob Roberts. He also had recurring roles on the HBO sketch comedy series Mr. Show.

    [edit] Acting career

    Black’s acting career began primarily with primetime TV. He played roles on several hit shows such as: The Golden Palace (Taxi Driver), Life Goes On (skinhead), The X-Files (Bart ‘Zero’ Liquori) and Northern Exposure (Kevin Wilkins, prom king). Black later took on small roles in Airborne, Demolition Man, The Cable Guy, Bob Roberts, Mars Attacks!, The Jackal, Bye Bye Love, Dead Man Walking, Enemy of the State, and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer before a breakthrough role as Barry, the pretentious co-worker to John Cusack’s record store owner in High Fidelity. His career soon led to leading roles in films such as Orange County, School of Rock, and the Academy Award-winning King Kong. Black starred in three films in 2006: Nacho Libre, in which he played a Mexican friar following his childhood dream of wrestling and pursuing true victory by fighting for the children of an orphanage, and Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny, a fictionalized account of the band’s formation and their quest to obtain a “supranatural” (sic) guitar pick (’Supranatural’ being on “a whole ‘nother level than” supernatural). Nacho Libre opened on June 16, 2006; Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny was released November 22, 2006. He starred alongside Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, and Kate Winslet in The Holiday, in which he played Miles, the love interest of Winslet’s character. He still occasionally makes TV appearances, including the short-lived animated television program Clone High.

    Black has appeared numerous times on the “untelevised TV network” short film festival Channel101, starring in the shows Computerman, Timebelt, and Laserfart. He also provided an introduction for the unaired sketch comedy, Awesometown, donning a Colonial-era military uniform. In the introduction, he claims to be George Washington (and takes credit for the accomplishments of other American Presidents such as Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln) and gives viewers a general idea as to what they should expect from the show. Black has also guest starred in the Adult Swim show Tom Goes to the Mayor as a bear trap store owner.

    Black appeared in an un-aired pilot episode for a show directed by Ben Stiller called Heat Vision and Jack where he played an ex-astronaut pursued by actor Ron Silver. He was accompanied by his friend who had merged with a motorcycle, voiced by Owen Wilson.

    In a Season 3 episode of The X-Files, titled “D.P.O.”, Black played Bart ‘Zero’ Liquori, friend to Darren, a teen who could cause lightning strikes, played by Giovanni Ribisi.

    Black recently hosted the 2006 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards on April 1, 2006 and the MTV video music awards on August 31, 2006.

    He is also a member of the Frat Pack, which also includes Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, and Steve Carell.

    Jack Black has made five appearances on Saturday Night Live: three times as a host, once as a musical guest (with Kyle Gass as Tenacious D), and another appearance with Tenacious D, not as a host or musical guest.

    He appeared on VH1’s Internet video show Acceptable.TV.[5]

    [edit] Music career

    Main article: Tenacious D

    Black is the lead singer for the rock comedy band Tenacious D. Black’s singing style is often described as being a scat type of music. Black has dubbed this form of singing the “ventrili-solo”. Black has also performed a two-part scat with bandmate Gass in the song “Tribute”.

    Tenacious D has released two albums, a self-titled debut, and the follow up, The Pick of Destiny. The latter coincides with the movie Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny. The film, directed by Tenacious D veteran Liam Lynch, features recurring characters such as Lee the superfan and Sasquatch. Tim Robbins cameos (both Black and Gass appeared in Robbins’ 1999 film Cradle Will Rock), as does Dave Grohl as Satan. Ben Stiller also makes an appearance as a worker at Guitar Center.

    Black was also a guest star on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show entitled “Ellen the Musical”, alongside Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth and teenage singer-actress Olivia Olson. On the show, besides singing, he discussed his then-upcoming film Nacho Libre with the host.

    Black has also appeared on Dave Grohl’s Probot album, providing vocals for the hidden song “I Am The Warlock”, and Liam Lynch’s Fake Songs album, providing vocals for the song “Rock and Roll Whore”.

    Black performed a cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” in the last sequence of High Fidelity. He lent his musical abilities to the Queens of the Stone Age song “Burn the Witch” with rhythmic stomps and claps, some performed with his eyes closed.

    Black sang lead vocals with Sum 41 in the song “Things I Want,” which is currently unreleased, and performed a cover of “Kiss From a Rose” on an American Idol charity special in 2007.

    Black has not only appeared in music videos by Tenacious D, but also in the following:

    * Beck, “Sexx Laws”
    * Dio, “Push”
    * Foo Fighters, “Learn To Fly”
    * Foo Fighters, “Low”
    * Foo Fighters, “The One”
    * The Eagles of Death Metal, “I Want You So Hard (Boy’s Bad News)”
    * Foo Fighters, cover of AC/DC’s song “Back in Black” at MTV New Year’s Eve Party 2003
    * Queens of the Stone Age, “Burn the Witch”
    * “Sum 41″, “Things I Want”

    [edit] Personal life

    Black dated actress and comedian Laura Kightlinger from 1997 until 2005. In January 2006, he became engaged to Tanya Haden (daughter of the jazz double bassist Charlie Haden). Haden herself is an accomplished cellist. Both attended Crossroads school, but met again 15 years after graduating, at a friend’s birthday party. Black proposed marriage around Christmas 2005 with a $220,000 Neil Lane ring. They married on March 14, 2006, in Big Sur, California. Their son, Samuel Jason, was born on June 10, 2006.

    [edit] Comedic style

    Black’s comedic style combines many key elements from both sides of the traditional double act. Black typically begins a skit in which he presents an earnest introduction to a premise or subject that quickly reveals itself to be flawed or fundamentally ludicrous. Black then switches completely to a far-extreme caricature of human emotion. His would-be straight-man Gass often functions to trigger these outbursts. Tenacious D’s subject matter illustrates this technique:

    1. In “Tribute”, Tenacious D tells a story in which they claim to have performed “The Best Song in the World” for a “Shiny Demon” who would otherwise “eat their souls”.
    2. In “Inward Singing”, Black doesn’t merely discover a new vocal technique, he discovers what he refers to as “the most powerful tool in singing technology since yodeling”.

    Black’s skits also use the phrase ‘more cushion for the pushing’ including his guest appearance on Will & Grace and MTV Movie parody ‘Jack Black: Spiderman’.

    Also some info on the art of war

    . LAYING PLANS

    1. Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance
    to the State.

    2. It is a matter of life and death, a road either
    to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry
    which can on no account be neglected.

    3. The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one’s deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    4. These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    5,6. The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete
    accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him
    regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.

    7. Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat,
    times and seasons.

    8. Earth comprises distances, great and small;
    danger and security; open ground and narrow passes;
    the chances of life and death.

    9. The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom,
    sincerely, benevolence, courage and strictness.

    10. By method and discipline are to be understood
    the marshaling of the army in its proper subdivisions,
    the graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance
    of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the
    control of military expenditure.

    11. These five heads should be familiar to every general:
    he who knows them will be victorious; he who knows them
    not will fail.

    12. Therefore, in your deliberations, when seeking
    to determine the military conditions, let them be made
    the basis of a comparison, in this wise:–

    13. (1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued
    with the Moral law?
    (2) Which of the two generals has most ability?
    (3) With whom lie the advantages derived from Heaven
    and Earth?
    (4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced?
    (5) Which army is stronger?
    (6) On which side are officers and men more highly trained?
    (7) In which army is there the greater constancy
    both in reward and punishment?

    14. By means of these seven considerations I can
    forecast victory or defeat.

    15. The general that hearkens to my counsel and acts
    upon it, will conquer: let such a one be retained in command!
    The general that hearkens not to my counsel nor acts upon it,
    will suffer defeat:–let such a one be dismissed!

    16. While heading the profit of my counsel,
    avail yourself also of any helpful circumstances
    over and beyond the ordinary rules.

    17. According as circumstances are favorable,
    one should modify one’s plans.

    18. All warfare is based on deception.

    19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
    when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
    are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
    when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

    20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder,
    and crush him.

    21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him.
    If he is in superior strength, evade him.

    22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to
    irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

    23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.
    If his forces are united, separate them.

    24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where
    you are not expected.

    25. These military devices, leading to victory,
    must not be divulged beforehand.

    26. Now the general who wins a battle makes many
    calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought.
    The general who loses a battle makes but few
    calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations
    lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat:
    how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention
    to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.
    [To Chinese text |To Top]

    II. WAGING WAR

    1. Sun Tzu said: In the operations of war,
    where there are in the field a thousand swift chariots,
    as many heavy chariots, and a hundred thousand
    mail-clad soldiers, with provisions enough to carry them
    a thousand li, the expenditure at home and at the front,
    including entertainment of guests, small items such as
    glue and paint, and sums spent on chariots and armor,
    will reach the total of a thousand ounces of silver per day.
    Such is the cost of raising an army of 100,000 men.

    2. When you engage in actual fighting, if victory
    is long in coming, then men’s weapons will grow dull and
    their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town,
    you will exhaust your strength.
    3. Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources
    of the State will not be equal to the strain.

    4. Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped,
    your strength exhausted and your treasure spent,
    other chieftains will spring up to take advantage
    of your extremity. Then no man, however wise,
    will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.

    5. Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war,
    cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.

    6. There is no instance of a country having benefited
    from prolonged warfare.

    7. It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted
    with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand
    the profitable way of carrying it on.

    8. The skillful soldier does not raise a second levy,
    neither are his supply-wagons loaded more than twice.

    9. Bring war material with you from home, but forage
    on the enemy. Thus the army will have food enough
    for its needs.

    10. Poverty of the State exchequer causes an army
    to be maintained by contributions from a distance.
    Contributing to maintain an army at a distance causes
    the people to be impoverished.

    11. On the other hand, the proximity of an army causes
    prices to go up; and high prices cause the people’s
    substance to be drained away.

    12. When their substance is drained away, the peasantry
    will be afflicted by heavy exactions.

    13,14. With this loss of substance and exhaustion
    of strength, the homes of the people will be stripped bare,
    and three-tenths of their income will be dissipated;
    while government expenses for broken chariots, worn-out horses,
    breast-plates and helmets, bows and arrows, spears and shields,
    protective mantles, draught-oxen and heavy wagons,
    will amount to four-tenths of its total revenue.

    15. Hence a wise general makes a point of foraging
    on the enemy. One cartload of the enemy’s provisions
    is equivalent to twenty of one’s own, and likewise
    a single picul of his provender is equivalent to twenty
    from one’s own store.

    16. Now in order to kill the enemy, our men must
    be roused to anger; that there may be advantage from
    defeating the enemy, they must have their rewards.

    17. Therefore in chariot fighting, when ten or more chariots
    have been taken, those should be rewarded who took the first.
    Our own flags should be substituted for those of the enemy,
    and the chariots mingled and used in conjunction with ours.
    The captured soldiers should be kindly treated and kept.

    18. This is called, using the conquered foe to augment
    one’s own strength.

    19. In war, then, let your great object be victory,
    not lengthy campaigns.

    20. Thus it may be known that the leader of armies
    is the arbiter of the people’s fate, the man on whom it
    depends whether the nation shall be in peace or in peril.
    [To Chinese text |To Top]

    III. ATTACK BY STRATAGEM

    1. Sun Tzu said: In the practical art of war, the best
    thing of all is to take the enemy’s country whole and intact;
    to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is
    better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it,
    to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire
    than to destroy them.

    2. Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles
    is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists
    in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

    3. Thus the highest form of generalship is to
    balk the enemy’s plans; the next best is to prevent
    the junction of the enemy’s forces; the next in
    order is to attack the enemy’s army in the field;
    and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities.

    4. The rule is, not to besiege walled cities if it
    can possibly be avoided. The preparation of mantlets,
    movable shelters, and various implements of war, will take
    up three whole months; and the piling up of mounds over
    against the walls will take three months more.

    5. The general, unable to control his irritation,
    will launch his men to the assault like swarming ants,
    with the result that one-third of his men are slain,
    while the town still remains untaken. Such are the disastrous
    effects of a siege.

    6. Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy’s
    troops without any fighting; he captures their cities
    without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom
    without lengthy operations in the field.

    7. With his forces intact he will dispute the mastery
    of the Empire, and thus, without losing a man, his triumph
    will be complete. This is the method of attacking by stratagem.

    8. It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten
    to the enemy’s one, to surround him; if five to one,
    to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army
    into two.

    9. If equally matched, we can offer battle;
    if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy;
    if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.

    10. Hence, though an obstinate fight may be made
    by a small force, in the end it must be captured
    by the larger force.

    11. Now the general is the bulwark of the State;
    if the bulwark is complete at all points; the State will
    be strong; if the bulwark is defective, the State will
    be weak.

    12. There are three ways in which a ruler can bring
    misfortune upon his army:–

    13. (1) By commanding the army to advance or to retreat,
    being ignorant of the fact that it cannot obey.
    This is called hobbling the army.

    14. (2) By attempting to govern an army in the
    same way as he administers a kingdom, being ignorant
    of the conditions which obtain in an army. This causes
    restlessness in the soldier’s minds.

    15. (3) By employing the officers of his army
    without discrimination, through ignorance of the
    military principle of adaptation to circumstances.
    This shakes the confidence of the soldiers.

    16. But when the army is restless and distrustful,
    trouble is sure to come from the other feudal princes.
    This is simply bringing anarchy into the army, and flinging
    victory away.

    17. Thus we may know that there are five essentials
    for victory:
    (1) He will win who knows when to fight and when
    not to fight.
    (2) He will win who knows how to handle both superior
    and inferior forces.
    (3) He will win whose army is animated by the same
    spirit throughout all its ranks.
    (4) He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take
    the enemy unprepared.
    (5) He will win who has military capacity and is
    not interfered with by the sovereign.

    18. Hence the saying: If you know the enemy
    and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a
    hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy,
    for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
    If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will
    succumb in every battle.

    IV. TACTICAL DISPOSITIONS

    1. Sun Tzu said: The good fighters of old first put
    themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then
    waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.

    2. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our
    own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy
    is provided by the enemy himself.
    3. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat,
    but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy.

    4. Hence the saying: One may know how to conquer
    without being able to do it.

    5. Security against defeat implies defensive tactics;
    ability to defeat the enemy means taking the offensive.

    6. Standing on the defensive indicates insufficient
    strength; attacking, a superabundance of strength.

    7. The general who is skilled in defense hides in the
    most secret recesses of the earth; he who is skilled in
    attack flashes forth from the topmost heights of heaven.
    Thus on the one hand we have ability to protect ourselves;
    on the other, a victory that is complete.

    8. To see victory only when it is within the ken
    of the common herd is not the acme of excellence.

    9. Neither is it the acme of excellence if you fight
    and conquer and the whole Empire says, “Well done!”

    10. To lift an autumn hair is no sign of great strength;
    to see the sun and moon is no sign of sharp sight;
    to hear the noise of thunder is no sign of a quick ear.

    11. What the ancients called a clever fighter is
    one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.

    12. Hence his victories bring him neither reputation
    for wisdom nor credit for courage.

    13. He wins his battles by making no mistakes.
    Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty
    of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is
    already defeated.

    14. Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into
    a position which makes defeat impossible, and does
    not miss the moment for defeating the enemy.

    15. Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist
    only seeks battle after the victory has been won,
    whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights
    and afterwards looks for victory.

    16. The consummate leader cultivates the moral law,
    and strictly adheres to method and discipline; thus it is
    in his power to control success.

    17. In respect of military method, we have,
    firstly, Measurement; secondly, Estimation of quantity;
    thirdly, Calculation; fourthly, Balancing of chances;
    fifthly, Victory.

    18. Measurement owes its existence to Earth;
    Estimation of quantity to Measurement; Calculation to
    Estimation of quantity; Balancing of chances to Calculation;
    and Victory to Balancing of chances.

    19. A victorious army opposed to a routed one, is as
    a pound’s weight placed in the scale against a single grain.

    20. The onrush of a conquering force is like the bursting
    of pent-up waters into a chasm a thousand fathoms deep.

    [To Chinese text |To Top]

    V. ENERGY

    1. Sun Tzu said: The control of a large force
    is the same principle as the control of a few men:
    it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers.

    2. Fighting with a large army under your command
    is nowise different from fighting with a small one:
    it is merely a question of instituting signs and signals.

    3. To ensure that your whole host may withstand
    the brunt of the enemy’s attack and remain unshaken–
    this is effected by maneuvers direct and indirect.

    4. That the impact of your army may be like a grindstone
    dashed against an egg–this is effected by the science
    of weak points and strong.

    5. In all fighting, the direct method may be used
    for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed
    in order to secure victory.

    6. Indirect tactics, efficiently applied, are inexhaustible
    as Heaven and Earth, unending as the flow of rivers and streams;
    like the sun and moon, they end but to begin anew;
    like the four seasons, they pass away to return once more.

    7. There are not more than five musical notes,
    yet the combinations of these five give rise to more
    melodies than can ever be heard.

    8. There are not more than five primary colors
    (blue, yellow, red, white, and black), yet in combination
    they produce more hues than can ever been seen.

    9. There are not more than five cardinal tastes
    (sour, acrid, salt, sweet, bitter), yet combinations
    of them yield more flavors than can ever be tasted.

    10. In battle, there are not more than two methods
    of attack–the direct and the indirect; yet these two
    in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers.

    11. The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn.
    It is like moving in a circle–you never come to an end.
    Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?

    12. The onset of troops is like the rush of a torrent
    which will even roll stones along in its course.

    13. The quality of decision is like the well-timed
    swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy
    its victim.

    14. Therefore the good fighter will be terrible
    in his onset, and prompt in his decision.

    15. Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow;
    decision, to the releasing of a trigger.

    16. Amid the turmoil and tumult of battle, there may
    be seeming disorder and yet no real disorder at all;
    amid confusion and chaos, your array may be without head
    or tail, yet it will be proof against defeat.

    17. Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline,
    simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness
    postulates strength.

    18. Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder is
    simply a question of subdivision; concealing courage under
    a show of timidity presupposes a fund of latent energy;
    masking strength with weakness is to be effected
    by tactical dispositions.

    19. Thus one who is skillful at keeping the enemy
    on the move maintains deceitful appearances, according to
    which the enemy will act. He sacrifices something,
    that the enemy may snatch at it.

    20. By holding out baits, he keeps him on the march;
    then with a body of picked men he lies in wait for him.

    21. The clever combatant looks to the effect of combined
    energy, and does not require too much from individuals.
    Hence his ability to pick out the right men and utilize
    combined energy.

    22. When he utilizes combined energy, his fighting
    men become as it were like unto rolling logs or stones.
    For it is the nature of a log or stone to remain
    motionless on level ground, and to move when on a slope;
    if four-cornered, to come to a standstill, but if
    round-shaped, to go rolling down.

    23. Thus the energy developed by good fighting men
    is as the momentum of a round stone rolled down a mountain
    thousands of feet in height. So much on the subject
    of energy.
    [To Chinese text |To Top]

    VI. WEAK POINTS AND STRONG

    1. Sun Tzu said: Whoever is first in the field and
    awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight;
    whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle
    will arrive exhausted.

    2. Therefore the clever combatant imposes his will on
    the enemy, but does not allow the enemy’s will to be imposed on him.

    3. By holding out advantages to him, he can cause the enemy
    to approach of his own accord; or, by inflicting damage,
    he can make it impossible for the enemy to draw near.

    4. If the enemy is taking his ease, he can harass him;
    if well supplied with food, he can starve him out;
    if quietly encamped, he can force him to move.

    5. Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend;
    march swiftly to places where you are not expected.

    6. An army may march great distances without distress,
    if it marches through country where the enemy is not.

    7. You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks
    if you only attack places which are undefended.You can
    ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold
    positions that cannot be attacked.

    8. Hence that general is skillful in attack whose
    opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful
    in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.

    9. O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you
    we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible;
    and hence we can hold the enemy’s fate in our hands.

    10. You may advance and be absolutely irresistible,
    if you make for the enemy’s weak points; you may retire
    and be safe from pursuit if your movements are more rapid
    than those of the enemy.

    11. If we wish to fight, the enemy can be forced
    to an engagement even though he be sheltered behind a high
    rampart and a deep ditch. All we need do is attack
    some other place that he will be obliged to relieve.

    12. If we do not wish to fight, we can prevent
    the enemy from engaging us even though the lines
    of our encampment be merely traced out on the ground.
    All we need do is to throw something odd and unaccountable
    in his way.

    13. By discovering the enemy’s dispositions and remaining
    invisible ourselves, we can keep our forces concentrated,
    while the enemy’s must be divided.

    14. We can form a single united body, while the
    enemy must split up into fractions. Hence there will
    be a whole pitted against separate parts of a whole,
    which means that we shall be many to the enemy’s few.

    15. And if we are able thus to attack an inferior force
    with a superior one, our opponents will be in dire straits.

    16. The spot where we intend to fight must not be
    made known; for then the enemy will have to prepare
    against a possible attack at several different points;
    and his forces being thus distributed in many directions,
    the numbers we shall have to face at any given point will
    be proportionately few.

    17. For should the enemy strengthen his van,
    he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear,
    he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left,
    he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right,
    he will weaken his left. If he sends reinforcements everywhere,
    he will everywhere be weak.

    18. Numerical weakness comes from having to prepare
    against possible attacks; numerical strength, from compelling
    our adversary to make these preparations against us.

    19. Knowing the place and the time of the coming battle,
    we may concentrate from the greatest distances in order
    to fight.

    20. But if neither time nor place be known,
    then the left wing will be impotent to succor the right,
    the right equally impotent to succor the left, the van
    unable to relieve the rear, or the rear to support the van.
    How much more so if the furthest portions of the army are
    anything under a hundred LI apart, and even the nearest
    are separated by several LI!

    21. Though according to my estimate the soldiers
    of Yueh exceed our own in number, that shall advantage
    them nothing in the matter of victory. I say then
    that victory can be achieved.

    22. Though the enemy be stronger in numbers, we may
    prevent him from fighting. Scheme so as to discover
    his plans and the likelihood of their success.

    23. Rouse him, and learn the principle of his
    activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself,
    so as to find out his vulnerable spots.

    24. Carefully compare the opposing army with your own,
    so that you may know where strength is superabundant
    and where it is deficient.

    25. In making tactical dispositions, the highest pitch
    you can attain is to conceal them; conceal your dispositions,
    and you will be safe from the prying of the subtlest spies,
    from the machinations of the wisest brains.

    26. How victory may be produced for them out of the enemy’s
    own tactics–that is what the multitude cannot comprehend.

    27. All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer,
    but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory
    is evolved.

    28. Do not repeat the tactics which have gained
    you one victory, but let your methods be regulated
    by the infinite variety of circumstances.

    29. Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its
    natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards.

    30. So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong
    and to strike at what is weak.

    31. Water shapes its course according to the nature
    of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works
    out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing.

    32. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape,
    so in warfare there are no constant conditions.

    33. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his
    opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called
    a heaven-born captain.

    34. The five elements (water, fire, wood, metal, earth)
    are not always equally predominant; the four seasons make
    way for each other in turn. There are short days and long;
    the moon has its periods of waning and waxing.
    [To Chinese text |To Top]

    VII. MANEUVERING

    1. Sun Tzu said: In war, the general receives his
    commands from the sovereign.

    2. Having collected an army and concentrated his forces,
    he must blend and harmonize the different elements thereof
    before pitching his camp.

    3. After that, comes tactical maneuvering,
    than which there is nothing more difficult.
    The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists
    in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain.

    4. Thus, to take a long and circuitous route,
    after enticing the enemy out of the way, and though starting
    after him, to contrive to reach the goal before him,
    shows knowledge of the artifice of DEVIATION.

    5. Maneuvering with an army is advantageous;
    with an undisciplined multitude, most dangerous.

    6. If you set a fully equipped army in march in order
    to snatch an advantage, the chances are that you will be
    too late. On the other hand, to detach a flying column
    for the purpose involves the sacrifice of its baggage
    and stores.

    7. Thus, if you order your men to roll up their
    buff-coats, and make forced marches without halting day
    or night, covering double the usual distance at a stretch,
    doing a hundred LI in order to wrest an advantage,
    the leaders of all your three divisions will fall into
    the hands of the enemy.

    8. The stronger men will be in front, the jaded
    ones will fall behind, and on this plan only one-tenth
    of your army will reach its destination.

    9. If you march fifty LI in order to outmaneuver
    the enemy, you will lose the leader of your first division,
    and only half your force will reach the goal.

    10. If you march thirty LI with the same object,
    two-thirds of your army will arrive.

    11. We may take it then that an army without its
    baggage-train is lost; without provisions it is lost;
    without bases of supply it is lost.

    12. We cannot enter into alliances until we are
    acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.

    13. We are not fit to lead an army on the march
    unless we are familiar with the face of the country–its
    mountains and forests, its pitfalls and precipices,
    its marshes and swamps.

    14. We shall be unable to turn natural advantage
    to account unless we make use of local guides.

    15. In war, practice dissimulation, and you will succeed.

    16. Whether to concentrate or to divide your troops,
    must be decided by circumstances.

    17. Let your rapidity be that of the wind,
    your compactness that of the forest.

    18. In raiding and plundering be like fire,
    is immovability like a mountain.

    19. Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night,
    and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

    20. When you plunder a countryside, let the spoil be
    divided amongst your men; when you capture new territory,
    cut it up into allotments for the benefit of the soldiery.

    21. Ponder and deliberate before you make a move.

    22. He will conquer who has learnt the artifice
    of deviation. Such is the art of maneuvering.

    23. The Book of Army Management says: On the field
    of battle, the spoken word does not carry far enough:
    hence the institution of gongs and drums. Nor can ordinary
    objects be seen clearly enough: hence the institution
    of banners and flags.

    24. Gongs and drums, banners and flags, are means
    whereby the ears and eyes of the host may be focused
    on one particular point.

    25. The host thus forming a single united body,
    is it impossible either for the brave to advance alone,
    or for the cowardly to retreat alone. This is the art
    of handling large masses of men.

    26. In night-fighting, then, make much use of signal-fires
    and drums, and in fighting by day, of flags and banners,
    as a means of influencing the ears and eyes of your army.

    27. A whole army may be robbed of its spirit;
    a commander-in-chief may be robbed of his presence of mind.

    28. Now a soldier’s spirit is keenest in the morning;
    by noonday it has begun to flag; and in the evening,
    his mind is bent only on returning to camp.

    29. A clever general, therefore, avoids an army when
    its spirit is keen, but attacks it when it is sluggish
    and inclined to return. This is the art of studying moods.

    30. Disciplined and calm, to await the appearance
    of disorder and hubbub amongst the enemy:–this is the art
    of retaining self-possession.

    31. To be near the goal while the enemy is still
    far from it, to wait at ease while the enemy is
    toiling and struggling, to be well-fed while the enemy
    is famished:–this is the art of husbanding one’s strength.

    32. To refrain from intercepting an enemy whose
    banners are in perfect order, to refrain from attacking
    an army drawn up in calm and confident array:–this
    is the art of studying circumstances.

    33. It is a military axiom not to advance uphill
    against the enemy, nor to oppose him when he comes downhill.

    34. Do not pursue an enemy who simulates flight;
    do not attack soldiers whose temper is keen.

    35. Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy.
    Do not interfere with an army that is returning home.

    36. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free.
    Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

    37. Such is the art of warfare.
    [To Chinese text|To Top]

    VIII. VARIATION IN TACTICS

    1. Sun Tzu said: In war, the general receives
    his commands from the sovereign, collects his army
    and concentrates his forces

    2. When in difficult country, do not encamp. In country
    where high roads intersect, join hands with your allies.
    Do not linger in dangerously isolated positions.
    In hemmed-in situations, you must resort to stratagem.
    In desperate position, you must fight.

    3. There are roads which must not be followed,
    armies which must be not attacked, towns which must
    be besieged, positions which must not be contested,
    commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed.

    4. The general who thoroughly understands the advantages
    that accompany variation of tactics knows how to handle
    his troops.

    5. The general who does not understand these, may be well
    acquainted with the configuration of the country, yet he
    will not be able to turn his knowledge to practical account.

    6. So, the student of war who is unversed in the art
    of war of varying his plans, even though he be acquainted
    with the Five Advantages, will fail to make the best use
    of his men.

    7. Hence in the wise leader’s plans, considerations of
    advantage and of disadvantage will be blended together.

    8. If our expectation of advantage be tempered in
    this way, we may succeed in accomplishing the essential
    part of our schemes.

    9. If, on the other hand, in the midst of difficulties
    we are always ready to seize an advantage, we may extricate
    ourselves from misfortune.

    10. Reduce the hostile chiefs by inflicting damage
    on them; and make trouble for them, and keep them
    constantly engaged; hold out specious allurements,
    and make them rush to any given point.

    11. The art of war teaches us to rely not on the
    likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on our own readiness
    to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking,
    but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.

    12. There are five dangerous faults which may affect
    a general:
    (1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;
    (2) cowardice, which leads to capture;
    (3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;
    (4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;
    (5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him
    to worry and trouble.

    13. These are the five besetting sins of a general,
    ruinous to the conduct of war.

    14. When an army is overthrown and its leader slain,
    the cause will surely be found among these five
    dangerous faults. Let them be a subject of meditation.
    [To Chinese text|To Top]

    IX. THE ARMY ON THE MARCH

    1. Sun Tzu said: We come now to the question of
    encamping the army, and observing signs of the enemy.
    Pass quickly over mountains, and keep in the neighborhood
    of valleys.

    2. Camp in high places, facing the sun. Do not climb
    heights in order to fight. So much for mountain warfare.

    3. After crossing a river, you should get far away
    from it.

    4. When an invading force crosses a river in its
    onward march, do not advance to meet it in mid-stream.
    It will be best to let half the army get across,
    and then deliver your attack.

    5. If you are anxious to fight, you should not go
    to meet the invader near a river which he has to cross.

    6. Moor your craft higher up than the enemy, and facing
    the sun. Do not move up-stream to meet the enemy.
    So much for river warfare.

    7. In crossing salt-marshes, your sole concern
    should be to get over them quickly, without any delay.

    8. If forced to fight in a salt-marsh, you should
    have water and grass near you, and get your back
    to a clump of trees. So much for operations in salt-marches.

    9. In dry, level country, take up an easily accessible
    position with rising ground to your right and on your rear,
    so that the danger may be in front, and safety lie behind.
    So much for campaigning in flat country.

    10. These are the four useful branches of military
    knowledge which enabled the Yellow Emperor to vanquish
    four several sovereigns.

    11. All armies prefer high ground to low and sunny
    places to dark.

    12. If you are careful of your men, and camp on hard
    ground, the army will be free from disease of every kind,
    and this will spell victory.

    13. When you come to a hill or a bank, occupy the
    sunny side, with the slope on your right rear.
    Thus you will at once act for the benefit of your soldiers
    and utilize the natural advantages of the ground.

    14. When, in consequence of heavy rains up-country,
    a river which you wish to ford is swollen and flecked
    with foam, you must wait until it subsides.

    15. Country in which there are precipitous cliffs
    with torrents running between, deep natural hollows,
    confined places, tangled thickets, quagmires and crevasses,
    should be left with all possible speed and not approached.

    16. While we keep away from such places, we should
    get the enemy to approach them; while we face them,
    we should let the enemy have them on his rear.

    17. If in the neighborhood of your camp there should
    be any hilly country, ponds surrounded by aquatic grass,
    hollow basins filled with reeds, or woods with thick
    undergrowth, they must be carefully routed out and searched;
    for these are places where men in ambush or insidious
    spies are likely to be lurking.

    18. When the enemy is close at hand and remains quiet,
    he is relying on the natural strength of his position.

    19. When he keeps aloof and tries to provoke a battle,
    he is anxious for the other side to advance.

    20. If his place of encampment is easy of access,
    he is tendering a bait.

    21. Movement amongst the trees of a forest shows that the
    enemy is advancing. The appearance of a number of screens
    in the midst of thick grass means that the enemy wants to make us suspicious.

    22. The rising of birds in their flight is the sign
    of an ambuscade. Startled beasts indicate that a sudden
    attack is coming.

    23. When there is dust rising in a high column,
    it is the sign of chariots advancing; when the dust is low,
    but spread over a wide area, it betokens the approach
    of infantry. When it branches out in different directions,
    it shows that parties have been sent to collect firewood.
    A few clouds of dust moving to and fro signify that the army
    is encamping.

    24. Humble words and increased preparations are signs
    that the enemy is about to advance. Violent language
    and driving forward as if to the attack are signs that he
    will retreat.

    25. When the light chariots come out first and take
    up a position on the wings, it is a sign that the enemy
    is forming for battle.

    26. Peace proposals unaccompanied by a sworn covenant
    indicate a plot.

    27. When there is much running about and the soldiers
    fall into rank, it means that the critical moment has come.

    28. When some are seen advancing and some retreating,
    it is a lure.

    29. When the soldiers stand leaning on their spears,
    they are faint from want of food.

    30. If those who are sent to draw water begin
    by drinking themselves, the army is suffering from thirst.

    31. If the enemy sees an advantage to be gained and
    makes no effort to secure it, the soldiers are exhausted.

    32. If birds gather on any spot, it is unoccupied.
    Clamor by night betokens nervousness.

    33. If there is disturbance in the camp, the general’s
    authority is weak. If the banners and flags are shifted
    about, sedition is afoot. If the officers are angry,
    it means that the men are weary.

    34. When an army feeds its horses with grain and kills
    its cattle for food, and when the men do not hang their
    cooking-pots over the camp-fires, showing that they
    will not return to their tents, you may know that they
    are determined to fight to the death.

    35. The sight of men whispering together in small
    knots or speaking in subdued tones points to disaffection
    amongst the rank and file.

    36. Too frequent rewards signify that the enemy is
    at the end of his resources; too many punishments betray
    a condition of dire distress.

    37. To begin by bluster, but afterwards to take fright
    at the enemy’s numbers, shows a supreme lack of intelligence.

    38. When envoys are sent with compliments in their mouths,
    it is a sign that the enemy wishes for a truce.

    39. If the enemy’s troops march up angrily and remain
    facing ours for a long time without either joining
    battle or taking themselves off again, the situation
    is one that demands great vigilance and circumspection.

    40. If our troops are no more in number than the enemy,
    that is amply sufficient; it only means that no direct attack
    can be made. What we can do is simply to concentrate all
    our available strength, keep a close watch on the enemy,
    and obtain reinforcements.

    41. He who exercises no forethought but makes light
    of his opponents is sure to be captured by them.

    42. If soldiers are punished before they have grown
    attached to you, they will not prove submissive; and,
    unless submissive, then will be practically useless.
    If, when the soldiers have become attached to you,
    punishments are not enforced, they will still be unless.

    43. Therefore soldiers must be treated in the first
    instance with humanity, but kept under control by means
    of iron discipline. This is a certain road to victory.

    44. If in training soldiers commands are habitually
    enforced, the army will be well-disciplined; if not,
    its discipline will be bad.

    45. If a general shows confidence in his men but always
    insists on his orders being obeyed, the gain will be mutual.

    August 30th, 2007 | 03:03

    I love people all saying, “Just go buy this game, this is the game you should buy if you buy any”. No, it’s not, for me. Maybe it is for you, but I refuse to buy a game that is single player only, no thank you. I buy plenty of games, I have a slew of console games from years of systems, I have binders full of software I’ve purchased. I agree with the thought of paying for movies, games or applications that deserve it, but no one can tell me what is and is not worth purchasing.

    I will purchase a game from a company I believe puts effort into their work, such as id. I will purchase a game that keeps with modern times and is innovative. Not one that won’t give online play. I will purchase an application that has become so useful in my life the thought of owning a cracked copy now (Photoshop anyone?) is disgusting, they EARNED the money, and they deserve it, to me.

    Some of you might not give a rats ass about photoshop, or any id games, I can’t say you’re wrong, and I don’t frown on you ripping theirs, I believe in the statement of just paying for what you think they earned. Bioshock doesn’t make the cut for me, so you can get off your high and mighty horse and lick my ass.

    Why are you on the forums telling me to buy Bioshock anyway when it’s clearly a location people are looking for a work around. Have you already beaten your single player game, and have nothing to do again? Did you already get the multi endings? I’m guessing so, and when you can do that in a day, I can find better things to do with $70 bucks. Such as wait for the other 10 $70 dollar games that do offer multi-player and are also superb quality.

    I was looking forward to this game, but i’ve heard alot of negativity about it, so now I no longer give a fuck. The fucking uploader needs to kill himself.

    fuck buying this shit, and fuck 2k games.

    August 30th, 2007 | 08:52

    Possible crack:

    You need to modify the EXE with a program like comstack or crushjoy. Look for the command line

    connect:=serv>

    and replace with

    connect:=serv{inact}>

    When it tries to activate it will kill the activation process.

    You will also need to replace this line:

    with

    This will bypass the key activation.

    It should then just install and you should be able to play

    Just buy it and be done with it.

    This is the game that separates or divides those who would rather steal EVERY piece of software they own, and those who pirate then purchase like most .nfo files suggest. Either way neither group of fiends is better than the other.

    I suggest buying this game, it’s one of the few games this year (Half Life 2 Orange box, Call of Duty 4, Crisis, Hellgate: London, and World in Conflict) that warrant a purchase of your hard earned dollars. Bioshock seems to be one of those games that never crack quite right. Although people said that about HL2, now look how the scene has circumvented steam.

    All I’m saying is, this is one of the small number of games worth purchasing.

    OMG morons do come in all shapes and sizes.

    Did this guy even READ what I wrote??? Whoever you are I’m sorry your Mommy and Daddy don’t give you enough allowance to pay for games or that your pitiful job doesn’t pay enough money so you have to pirate everything and buy nothing.

    To enlighten you, what I’m saying is this game maybe one of those games that don’t quite crack well. For example the cracks for HalfLife 2 work single player but multiplayer mods don’t work; which is why I purchased it, and it’s worth it. Although the scene did an EXCELLENT job of cracking the steam activation process it appeared (if I recall) months later.

    I pirate just as much as the next guy, I’m NOT playing a holier than thou attitude. I do believe if a game is worth completing to the end, and is truly a labored work of art and entertainment, then it is worth dropping 50.00 on it.

    And to those angered by some of us saying just purchase it and be done with it; why does it make you angry? We are the same as you (pirates), the difference is we’ve simply given up on waiting for a crack or feel this game is worth 50.00 for 15 – 20 hours of entertainment.

    The reason the activation process exists with games like this is because of people like all of us… pirates!!

    Atlas is Fontaine.
    You kill Ryan midway through the game, only to find out Atlas/Fontaine manipulated you to do it.
    Your player’s past is a fake memory, you were made in a lab to do everything said to you when added “…would you kindly…”
    That’s why you kill Ryan.

    Smoothtony, who are you to say we must all have as little patience as you? I love your Halflife2 reference. Halflife 2, for me was a game worth purchasing, and I did. The cracked version would allow you single player only. Bioshock IS single player only. So we’re simply willing to wait longer than you to play this single player only game.

    Regardless of how much we make, I’m not rich, I make about $70K/year. I still don’t believe 2K games earned my money on this one, again that’s me. And your opinion is yours. I think it’s fine that you purchased it, so why are you still in this thread? Why aren’t you busy playing Bioshock? Why are you trying to convince others that they should just buy this game, we all seem to believe differently than you. We didn’t say, Do not buy this game it’s awful and sucks blah blah. No, said we don’t want to pay for it. $50 is still quite a bit of money to drop on 8-15 hours of entertainment, that isn’t reusable.

    If a game is worth playing to the end, and is something that has replay value, and is 20+ hours, yeah, I believe it’s worth paying $50 for. For me, I don’t believe Bioshock is that game. If a crack never comes for Bioshock, I’ll never play it. Maybe in a few years when you pick it up on the bargain shelf. But I don’t care that you say it’s a great game, I am not you.

    “And to those angered by some of us saying just purchase it and be done with it; why does it make you angry? We are the same as you (pirates), the difference is we’ve simply given up on waiting for a crack or feel this game is worth 50.00 for 15 – 20 hours of entertainment.

    -It makes us angry, because we have more patience than you, and don’t see why your opinion is being forced on us. You’re trolling. If you think it’s worth $50, great, buy it and play it, stop trolling here. Those that feel it’s worth $50, have paid $50. Those that don’t have patience to wait for a crack, have paid $50. Those still here, don’t believe in either of your thoughts, and are here waiting for a crack.

    So essentially, it all comes down to you’re trolling. You’re in a place where you know exactly what people are looking for, and you’re telling them your thoughts, implying they should take it and do what you say.

    So, Mr. Smug Jackass, Cram it, regardless if you’re trying or not, you are being all ‘holier than thou’. Leave.

    To #505

    That’s a load of crap. I don’t care who you claim is playing what. For multi-player I play many of them LAN, which is the majority of when I play a game in general. Every other weekend I have a LAN, we play random games, if Bioshock were good, and had multiplayer, I probably would have purchased it and we’d play that. It doesn’t, therefore my Money will go elsewhere to ones that do have multi-player. Paying $50+ for a game that I will play 2-3 times is not worth it to me.

    Yes, people do go back to classics, I still play Q3, Q1, CS and some RTS games. I don’t give much of a hoot for single player unless they’re going to make it long, as I don’t play much during the week, and when I play on the weekend, I expect it to be with others. So yes, I would have preferred a 100th take on deathmatch classic. Playing a new game with a common style is still not all the same. The weapons, physics, surroundings controls, all of this changes the way it plays and feels.

    Not to mention Co-op. This is a huge feature for me, having a good coop (Gears of War if it were longer, Rainbow 6) would make me buy this in a heart beat.

    I am half looking forward to id’s new game, even though the graphis don’t stand out as much as new id games do, the reason? Coop. I will buy just about any coop game on the market for a system I own. There are so few, I don’t have to purchase many.

    So Bioshock not having multiplayer, fuck it, that’s lazy.

    Bigtex this thread has become almost an exercise in stupidity. I’m being holier than thou for saying WE’RE all pirates?? For giving my opinion which differs from yours makes me a troll?

    I simply stated what I believe to be a great game worthy of purchasing. What is wrong with that? Sorry you are so insecure in yourself that anyone’s opinion that differs from yours angers you or makes you feel inadequate.

    You believe this game doesn’t warrant your purchase because it doesn’t have multiplayer then more power to you Bigtex. I’m happy for you. We all have our reasons for either pirating or not pirating certain games. Mine differs from yours Bigtex, that doesn’t make you stupid for not sharing my opinion. For me, if the game is worth finishing until the game ending then it is OBVIOUSLY worth spending money on. Also I don’t see why I should buy multiple copies of games if everyone in my home wants the game on their computer.

    For the record to those that never took reading comprehension in elementary school. I to am waiting on a crack. My wife purchased it for me on a surprise whim but I need the crack for her computer, my son’s computer, and my laptop when I’m traveling. Although the game isn’t multiplayer it is one of the few single player games in my household that the whole family wants on their computers.

    Now does that put me in the stupid club of all of us waiting for a crack? Does that now make me NOT a troll because I’m waiting on a crack as well but for different reasons?

    Oh and for the record I don’t work for 2K Games, but I do work for the government.

    Well Smoothtony, I will retract what I said then. I still stand by the basics of what I said for purchasing the game, however I suppose you aren’t trolling, and after re-reading what you had typed, weren’t forcing what you were saying on people, just saying you thought it was worth it.

    I’m sure all of us are on about 5 other sites reading some of the dribble put out, so it sets us off. thepiratebay.org/bioshock pages 40-7# anyone? Gets frustrating reading some of the crap out there. Hopefully a crack will come soon, or I’ll just lose interest in wanting to play anymore.

  509. August 30th, 2007 | 20:26

    well…the guys at CS.RIN.RU… are really trying so hard to crack this stupid shit… i can’t belive people are trying so hard ! this is the forum nevertheless…

    http://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46435

    if you have eneugh patience…read all the posts… there’s some serious shit there… cheers guys…hope you do it

  510. Smoothtony to Bigtex
    August 30th, 2007 | 21:09

    Bigtex I find your opinions intriguing. For awhile I felt exactly as you do about downloading. Unless it had multiplayer I wasn’t buying it. With a basic family LAN gaming set up in my home it’s HARD finding enough games with co-op play for my wife, son, and 3 daughters. Developers are getting a bit lazy not including co-op I believe. Games like this and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are crying for co-op.

    I’m hoping some enterprising individual designs a co-op mod for this. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t System Shock 2 ship with no multiplayer at all then someone designed a co-op mod for it?

    Maybe DOPEMAN will release a no install version of Bioshock soon. We can only wait and see.

    Yours in the struggle…

    August 30th, 2007 | 22:06

    Would be hard to change the game into a coop play one.

    I know Half-life 1 back in the day had a modded co-op added, but the whole multi-player core was already there and built, for death match.

    I think the problem is, it takes more thought, and planning to add co-op. You have to figure out how monsters are going to be placed, how many, how strong. So re-positioning and adding more monsters for the entire game, which can be taxing. Making sure the players don’t get pushed too far into places, working out the map glitches that wouldn’t be apparent with just 1 player. All of that adds up to higher costs.

    Which is why if someone makes a co-op game, I would probably buy it, shows they wanted to make something fun, not something just for money.

    OMG all you hackers cant crack a simple securom? what is this world comming to? And dont say crack it yourself because my IQ is 74.

  515. Smoothtony (I WAS WRONG GUYS and GALS)
    August 31st, 2007 | 00:15

    I retract my statement that this game is worth purchasing due to being worth $50.00 of entertainment!!!!

    Not because the gameplay is bad, but because of the DRM that is installed with it without user consent!! I learned that even the demo I installed also contains the DRM.

    http://www.twitchguru.com/2007/08/27/bioshock_drm/index.html
    http://www.twitchguru.com/site/flash_videos/second_take_the_bioshock_drm_problem.html

    The SecuROM installed allows only 2 installations of Bioshock in your lifetime without having to call to request another CD-Key. The compound the problem with SecuROM, after an uninstall it leaves the DRM stuff in your registry that is difficult to remove.

    Damn I’m glad I haven’t installed the retail version my wife bought for me. Now I’m not just waiting on a crack to put it on her computer and my son’s, but also for myself to bypass their idiotic decision on this type of DRM.

    August 31st, 2007 | 01:43

    Personally I didn’t know about the Bioshock activation fiasco until this afternoon.

    I’m sure I’m not the only one either, several people in this thread gave up on waiting for a crack and decided to purchase it; or decided to download the rather length demo (which also installs DRM).

    Regardless… thanks for the cookie Entrophy

  530. so close?
    August 31st, 2007 | 13:22

    @531: copy that. game launches, menu is not visible, and while the first level loads the game crashes..damn, so close ^^

  531. so close?
    August 31st, 2007 | 13:28

    on the second trial everything was right, but the game still crashes while loading the first level.. maybe a savegame would help?

    some tried loading a save game from the demo ?,so at least we can play the demo levels using the full game engine,if you get me ?,,,and does anyone have a idea of the dir size of a fully geniune install of bioshock so we can see how much is missing from clicking the error messenge

  534. DaLoon
    August 31st, 2007 | 13:46

    ok if it might help here is a saved game folder http://rapidshare.com/files/52453598/saved.rar PW–bioshock

  535. so close?
    August 31st, 2007 | 13:46

    i downloaded a savegame which should start the last level, and the game loads. sound appears, the game does not crash, but the screen is black :(

    Ok i mounted the game into 2 virtual drives as suggested,I now get the play button menu but it says it cant find where the games installed lol.I used mini image plus the mdf one.But when i try to play it in release folder it says openal32.ddl cant be found its clearly in my windows32 system folder so how did you guys bypass this error?Guess i wasted 6 gigs and will have to wait for a better release.

    @541: you should download the latest “patch” from post #531, there’s no need to mount anything. with this patch you’ll be able to launch the game and take a look at the first level loading screen before it crashes, but atm it’s much further than any other wannabe crack.. i have to admit this too, great work guys!!

    Darkcoder, can you spell “reloc section” ? Paul.dll injected code will crash the dll in case it’s loaded to a different base.
    The injected code should be either relocation-proof (ie. call $+5 trick) or the reloc section should be updated.

  577. August 31st, 2007 | 22:11

    :-) Its working !!!!

    Remember people you do NOT need to mess about stopping the installation ect or renaming a diff directory. Just do the following.

    http://gamecopyworld.com/ and download a NODVD/FIXED IMAGE.
    Mount the BIOSHOCK.MDS Mini-Image in DAEMON Tools v4.10. Once mounted run the set up from the downloaded game.

    This will Install complete game with the autopatcher working and updateing without the need to stop it or rename directory ect.

    Once fully installed simply download
    http://rapidshare.com/files/52524052/BioshockCrack.rar
    and copy exe + paul.dll over original files.
    Now run the reg hack and ok it (no worries all good stuff)

    Now play the game !!!!
    Enjoy the game!!!!

    AND THANK “DARK CODER”

    Eventualy good news huh. Well Im off to play some BIOSHOCK!

    Wow i picked up the one from demonoid with like 16,000 leechers and 2,600 seeders and imediatly peerguardian picked up some stuff. I got about like 4 anti piracy organizations showing up. I immediately quit the torrent it was the most i have ever seen peerguardian pick up. Then i went to my private tracker. This is a high value torrent i suggest you go to your favorite private tracker for optimal safety.

    March 31st, 2008 | 22:24

    Those should be the split parts of the game. Are they not rar’s?

  623. MissingLink
    March 31st, 2008 | 22:32

    Well IF they are rars, they look like .r00, .r01, .r02 and so on. Download and install WinRAR and simply double click the first rar, usually r00. WinRAR will pop up and ask where to “unrar” the file and you’re done. :)

    no need to copy the install dir for crack…
    just rename that directory..
    and close that install process
    then again rename it to orignal.
    and copy the crack
    thats it

    This game won’t even install if your PC doesn’t have an internet connection. My gaming rig isn’t connected to the internet so downloading this was a complete waste. At least I’m glad I didn’t buy it. Screw the developers for putting in DRM, I won’t ever buy this garbage and support that kind of foolishness.

    This is one of the greatest games ever. Story, gameplay, music, actors, visuals, and if u’r computer can run it then u cant waist another minute here and get to downloading. and by the end i found a quote to stick in my head, from almost the end of the story, “A man choses, and a slave obeys” So choose men, to play or not to play?

    Spoiler:

    P.S. I knew that Ryan was right, and i didnt wanna put the genetic key in, but i didnt have a choice! What was the guy’s name? oh ya, Fontaine, FONTAINE SUCKS! it woulda been nice if we had a choice in putting in the key or not, we could get different outcomes, maybe in Bioshock 2

    666, yay?

    To install this properly you need to get the ViTALiTY release because they actually cracked the DVD check for the auto-patch program at the end of the installation.

    Otherwise you need to Alt-Tab out of the installer when the auto-patch program runs and rename the original install directory, or else it will delete the files and quit. After that install the 1.1 patch and download the DETONATiON 1.1 crack from here:

    No serial required.

    Get the ViTALiTY 1.0 crack if the 1.1 patch won’t work without the original exe (which the auto-patch program actually downloads).

    You can get the original 1.0 exe from this torrent, though:
