Title: Picking up Chainsaw on Chained Court
Post by: Fingerzam on December 14, 2006, 03:21

When I pick up the chainsaw on Chained Court with an empty weapon slot and full inventory, it cannot be picked, although it should go straight to my weapon slot, if I'm not wrong?

Regarding Chained Court I have one more suggestion - maby it should be made like Unholy Cathedral, i.e. melle only? Right now is too easy to switch to shotgun (any kind) and slaughter those poor former humans mercilessly.

I think that might make the Unholy Cathedral less special. :(

True, but CC needs something to prevent slaughtering former humans from distance (and BTW those idiots STILL manage to kill themselves on lava)

Well, I think the point of Chained Court is the easy kills, precisely :P. You always have the rooms on the lava for some more fun. Also, I agree with what Derek said, two special levels with the same approach, in my opinion, is not a good idea. And killing them with the chainsaw is not much more difficult that using a shotgun, having 4 berserk packs (5 if you count picking up the chainsaw).

I agree, however, that something could be done to make them not cross the lava. I usually go to the right zone and kill them, and when I come back the other way I only find burned corpses :P.

Tell that to your armor :P

I get naked upon entering the Chained Court:P. The first thing I always do is remove my armor and drop some ammo if I need space (so no 'h' can get it and use it:P). Even without armor, I usually clear the level with 100% health due to the 4 berserk packs.

But then there'd be no way to get into the hidden cacodemon/Supercharge chambers.

Not true (partially)! When you play AoB you can still get to hidden rooms above and below starting location simply walking on lava and entering it through a door. Health will be regenerated by remaining berseker packs.

I didn't know that there are also cacodemons inside those secret rooms in a corner. Are those red bastards really there or is it just a misunderstanding? ;>

There are semi-secret rooms with cacos and some ammo... and there are the OTHER secret rooms - he was talking about those other ones

[offtopic]oh and BTW - UGM take a look at your own adom-related forums - there is a quite a bit of bugs there[end offtopic]

even while doing AoB you can get the Cacos or Hellknights to destroy those walls for you

but i think the chained court is a nice 'resting' point, guaranteed full health when you leave. And there's only 20 former human/sergeants, it's not like you're getting another level from killing them unless you were close to levelling anyway, they are worth little xp.

I responded, that it's partially not true, because cacodemon/hellknights chambers do have normal entrances.

I'd want to see more meat - er, former humans in Chained court. At least twice as many for each difficulty level 8-)

Don't say each. Except the Nightmare!. There are only seregeants, who are ressurecting while you are sawing others.
