So i just got this game,
(Its installing)
And i have a question

Should i play vanilla for a bit and get a feel for the game or should I download GWX & Commander before i even start?

Get GWX and SH commander right off the bat, but if you want to experience a before/after picture then play the game for a mission or two before installing GWX.

Okay so can someone step-by-step for me on how to install GWX?
I have windows 7 and it is running on steam.

I would do exactly one mission on vanilla. That way you can see what an awesome piece of work they did on GWX 3.0

Installing GWX is pretty straightforward, but it's quite a big download. I believe Jimbuna (you can find his posts all over this forum) has a link to GWX in his signature. Or else check the 'downloads' link above this forum. Be sure to download the latest patch for Sh3 too (1.4b) and
Also be sure to get JSGME (although I believe it's already part of the GWX download, not sure though). It's a really handy program that reduces activating mods to a simple drag and drop.

You can choose there; mulit-part download or torrent.
When you're gonna download SH3 Commander (you should, everybody uses it

) you need these config files for it to work with GWX 3.0:

Okay, ehrr, first question; are you familiar with torrents? That would make it a lot easier to download (and for me to explain it

)
