So like the subject line says, I downloaded the latest version of Rampage a few
days ago, mostly because I'd seen it mentioned quite a few times and wanted to
know what the big deal was. And it was an Allan Thompson map, and his are
always good.
Well, I think all the intros/victory/defeat messages are things I only want to
hear once, if ever. The one at the end of that first map gave me the shivers
and I'm still wondering if this one will end up like the Oneshot Wonders and
just sit there in my map-packs folder never getting played because it creeps me
out. Or I could just keep trying...
A problem I'm having is with the next two maps. You get one monster. One. and
then there are these stupid jets that drop bombs on you and remove effects
doesn't always work and even when it does, that's whole patches of map that are
radiated. And if you can't remove effects, you're basically screwed because
radiation sickness takes massive chunks out of your health and everything that
can summon aircraft takes far too long to die... and that's not even accounting
for other things attacking you. And in the "Monster from the Deep" map there
just aren't enough people to eat and get health back from. I almost wish you
could have a regeneration skill. I'm used to Monkey's maps where chars
regenerate, and even incorporated that into my own personal map pack which I'm
still not sure I'll release to the public. As it is, I don't know how to beat
the second map with just the ordinary monster, or even the mutants, as they
don't have remove effects by default.... I can grab the jets, and have done
many times, but by the time they're there to be grabbed, they've already
neuc'ed me.
Does anyone have any tips? I'd appreciate them...
