Discussion / Re: Advanced key bindings & messages coloring

« on: February 27, 2013, 13:40 »

I didn't point that out because at the time of that thread there was only the console version, there isn't any way to change color bindings for the graphic version except changing the tile set.

adjusting the message colors has a major effect on the game, even if it only helps notice when a special level spawns. Here's the thread I copied my bindings from:  http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,4252.0.html

Hall of Carnage on AoPc without a homing phase isn't QUITE an instadeath. I've done it several times, it just really sucks trying to get a sargent to shoot down the second door. I'd still claim it's easier and less luck dependent than brick silver...

Discussion / Re: Demolition ammo are useless?

« on: February 12, 2013, 19:02 »

It enables a 10mm gun to break walls and gib corpses. Not much point in it for wall breaking in a normal game but it can be a big deal in a pistol challenge or A100. Gibbing corpses on the other hand IS a big deal when dealing with archviles, Nightmare, or angel of darkness.

Discussion / Re: Shotgun thread

« on: February 09, 2013, 23:00 »

if this is a shotgun challenge I'd say keep all of them for now.

The elephant gun is very good with shottyman but is crap in all other cases, even a shell box isn't quite enough here. The second mod is better spent on armor, if you must drop one drop this
The double shotgun has a WIDE burst and tends to really knock targets back but it's useable range ends within your vision and armor really hurts this gun, it also needs shottyman or a shell box to have a reasonable rate of fire. Don't drop it unless you find a super shotgun but it's not a primary gun due to ammo use.
The tactical shotgun is your primary gun, great rate of fire/reload and it effective range extends beyond your field of view, the only drawbacks are it's somewhat narrow burst and it's a bit lacking when it comes to heavily armored targets.

Army of the dead makes all shotguns but the plasma shotgun better but the biggest effect is on the double shotgun (besides the rare Jackhammer).

Discussion / Re: What is your strategy for medium or hard difficulties?

« on: February 09, 2013, 16:14 »

For getting into harder difficulties I found the marine's ammochain build (Rel>Rel>SoaB>SoaB>Th>Th>MAc) to work very well. With this build you rely on shotguns and corner-shooting till you hit ammochain (if you clear each floor you should get it around the armory on HNTR).
I find Tac boots to be a better use of mods than the assault rifle as you will retire it for plasma but rapid fire guns tend to be lacking in accuracy so spending one A mod on your chaingun may be a good investment. The spider lair's reward is insane for this build as it removes most of your ammo worries.
