mcitySo, a mission and a half into Deus Ex 1, I have about fifteen flares, and they're basically useless, AFAIK. They don't really distract guards.
In Splinter Cell, they're used to distract sentry guns. In DX, said guns are controlled by security cameras if they spot you. So in one room with a tricky camera I go "wait a minute..." and GUESS WHAT.
It's almost enough to make one ignore the fact that a man who's basically cyborg Jack Bauer after raiding Neo's closet can't throw a three-ounce road flare more than three feet.
