In the very first level I saw armor behind what appeared to be some sort of shield and I could'nt figure out how to deactivate it to get the armor! Also, when I got to the area where I found the automag (cliffs above a river) I met my first badguys- 2 "brutes" and no matter what I tried they always wiped me out!! Could someone please help me out with these two little conundrums?

By all means /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif

Armour: These's a blue button hanging off a beam nearby that you can jump up and head-butt to deactivate the forcefield.

LesserBrutes: You have to avoid their rockets and attack from a bit of distance. Back off from them so that they don't catch up with you, and STRAFE (sidestep) to avoid their rockets. Although to some newbies (I was one of these newbies) strafing doesn't seem that important, I can assure you that to survive in an FPS (especially Unreal when you're talking single player), you have to learn to strafe. LesserBrutes are the easiest major opponents you'll face.
You may want to play on Easy skill if you're not already, the difficulty of Unreal goes up somewhat exponentially on the other skill settings.

Any other problems check the creature giudes and level guides in the Walkthrough sections of http://surf.to/scragsite /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif

Listen to Hellscrag. He knows good. The strafe manuever is primal to survival. You can dodge just about anything with it. Also he seems to have guessed correctly that you must be playing at an advanced level. The first two brutes on the easy level are in the first mineshaft entrance after collecting the automag in front of a village hut. this is in fact the second level. on easy level there are no bad guys to confront. e
