comes with a m_minimum text file, but the level itself is certainly f_fun.
Some
nice effects are here. It begins with a spaceship crashing into the Strogg
compound wall, conveniently and dramatically creating a doorway for you.
Once inside the darkened, broken entranceway, you find yourself engaged
in combat. Around the next corner you see a Strogg working at a panel which
shorts out and explodes, blowing the unfortunate Strogg into pieces. The
panel is still sparking as you go by. It's these kind of "unexpected" events
which keeps you moving on to see what is around the next corner.
Your
quest is laid out for you on your field computer, basically it is: destroy
the Strogg Particle Laser, and make your escape. As you will see, destroying
the Strogg particle laser is your escape.

progresses logically, your successes rotate a central hub which make further
exploration possible. You should not have trouble or get stuck, unless
you ignore those armor shards in the machine pump room. It looks impossible,
it's not, it just takes some timing and cool nerves.
This
particle laser compound is nicely laid out, and the machine pump room is
quite dramatic when you first walk in. Combat situations are appropriate
but not overly difficult.
S_laser,
a f_fun level with a f_flair for the d_dramatic. |
Nice compound here. Notice the damaged missing support buttress from the
crash.
The central hub. Swim at your own risk.
The machine pump room. You have to get past these things to those armor
shards beyond. Remember, real marines don't save...
