Many players, such as myself, found ourselves locked out of terminals containing valuable information or lore, leading to mixed feelings about Human Revolution’s favorite little mini game. It was a frustrating endeavor to face, especially early in the game without access to a boatload of hacking augmentations to help you face firewalls. The problem here was that too often Human Revolution wouldn’t register the players input, resulting in a difficult system hack completely locking you out within a matter of seconds following detection. To capture a node during this hacking sequence, players would have to first select the node with their mouse (on PC) or thumb stick (on controllers) and then hold down the selection while picking the action they wished to perform, whether it was hacking, fortifying, or using a program. Once secured, nodes could be fortified in order to slow down this attempt - although it took a fair amount of time to accomplish. While hacking nodes, players could be detected by system security (marked in red) that would then attempt to lock them out of the system for good. In order to crack the system, players had to work their way through the interconnected nodes and reach the green colored spheres or red towers.
Each of these featured an individual security rating and a detection chance reflecting your stealth hacking ability. If you had the adequate level, you would breach into the security system and a screen with data nodes would pop up on your screen. Back in Human Revolution, each piece of tech you could hack had a security rating you had to match with you hacking augmentation.
