It doesn't get much closer than this...
« on: June 01, 2007, 17:22 »

Down to 15 rounds (9mm) with an Elite on my tail when I finally found the lift down from civ 2. Had to run for the lift with it swiping me from behind.

Should have made it out easily after killing the queen (even though I never even saw a heavy weapon), but couldn't find lifts for love nor money on the way back down. Keeping a record of the way you came seems to be a very good idea. I ran out of pulse rifle ammo about 4 floors up with no sign of a lift down to the 3rd floor of anywhere, and had to downgrade to the MP5.

I like the ending :)

I meant the ending text where the marine takes stock of his situation :)

Are there multiple endings? I wondered if the communications array mentioned might already be in the game, and if you'd get a different ending if you found it. I'll post more of my thoughts on that in another thread.

The ending voice sample is good too, I like it. I missed it the first time I won because I'd already taken my headphones off.

There will be multiple endings once I implement the mission system, and tower specials. Actually there will be like 3*3*3 = 27 ways to end the game :P.
