Actually this is my first finished AoI, most ended up with a wipe somewhere around Phobos lv6/7, but this is actually my first try on UV, the rest were on N!. Hah. AoMC really makes all shooting challenges easier, especially if you scrabble enough XP for Cateye. The primary problem with N! is if you don't clear up corpses, you eventually get screwed with constant respawn of enemies, making say Military Base either a real chore or a deathtrap, even with MCe. But the real best feature available in AoMC is - Rocket Jump! You jump, and everyone just flies outwards, thinning the crowd.

This run, however, was pretty remarkable with what I could find over the course of the game - a GCB, I even thought about taking levels in SoG specifically for that gun, a nano pack (BAD AoI, BAD BOY! Otherwise I'd prefer a nanomachic wep instead of immediately assembling a power armor), an assault shotty BEFORE Military Base (yay!), and a phaseshift boots - a rare thing to find, really. But, I've mised YAAM alreadyat the entrance, so... hum, I maybe should have skipped some enemies together with earning a better badge of untouchable. Apparently I can't behave to acquire even a medal, let alone a cross, maybe playing AoI+AoMC on N! would eventually train me to the point when I would be able to acquire them.

Max Carnage is sort of a double edged sword when you're considering the Untouchable challenges - it makes it easier to kill quickly, which often can save you a lot of damage, but it also punishes mistakes pretty severely: an attack that should have missed, or done only a few points of damage, is almost a guaranteed hit at maximum damage.

I also seem to recall a situation where the Untouchable achievements weren't awarded in the mortem, but still counted for challenges, where Max Carnage was concerned - but it was a dual angel game that I'm thinking of, and it might have been the other challenge that caused the problem(most likely Overconfidence, although I can't recall precisely the challenge or game in question). Evidently, yours was awarded, nor was it relevant to any of your particular challenges for this run(other than the Badge itself), but your comment on it got me thinking about old mortems.

How does rocket jump work on AoMC? I would think that the self-damage would get pretty brutal, unless that isn't similarly amplified for some reason. I can't recall having ever tried it myself.

In any case, nice run, and an impressive collection of awards. AoI is definitely a challenging playstyle(although, in my opinion, not quite as unforgiving as the similar-seeming Angel of Purity), so congratulations on pairing that with an Ultraviolence win.

AoMC rocket jump is guaranteed to remove you out of the ambush zone, either leftwards or rightwards, so that no monster would be able to shoot you while you try to escape. Then you cornershoot them almost at leisure. The best way to pass through is of course a phase device if it lands you into the middle room (I guess you can't get past the BB wall with a phase device there), but if you didn't get any, say they all have been consumed by hell barons, which they do like to use, rocket jumping remains the best alternative IMO to avoid getting killed by the ambush. Self-damage is decent (18-30%-4=9.6, not sure about rounding, guess it's a 10), which is tolerable even on AoMs.

Yes, AoOC disables untouchable badges, as well as speed badges, it's said somewhere.

Regardless AoI vs AoP, I say AoP is easier if you can maintain your armor stock, or happen to hit an onyx/nano armor of any sort. At least you can stock medkits. With AoI you have to use all the packs in an instant, and if you hadn't prepared a device for it, count the find as a loss.

Akso, got a N! YASD when I've slept over a revenant in Hell's Armory :( so far my best attempt on AoMC+AoMs. Ouch.
