I tried using the switch tactics stuff (coward while moving, agressive shooting) and that worked pretty well. But I lost one of the four med-packs that you find in level one. (Former human got to two of them first... he ate one before he died. Grr!) I used my pistol for the former humans, and saved the shottie for the imps. I got caught up in the fighting, switched to my pistol (without reloading my shottie first) and when I needed the darn thing again it was still empty. Luckily I was able to run to the ladder and go to level three: Where I was killed after firing one shot.

My 2 best characters have died on Level 13; first one was surrounded by 2 cacodemons and 2 Arachnotrons without hope for escaping, latter one was doing well with a found double shotgun but ran out of medikits and health... and thus... died... :p

YAAR!!!

Well, practice makes perfect I suppose.
And luck.
Lots of luck.

The game practically gave me everything I needed. I'm pretty sure I found and used more overcharge orbs on this run than on all of my other runs combined! I went through two (TWO!!) RED ARMORS!! I'd have gone further but I lost my red armor and didn't notice. I would have equiped my blue if I'd thought about it. Oh well. I'm just happy I had that friggin Advanced Rocket Launcher. Made Hell Knight fights much easier.

All in all, both a great run, and my best run so far. :)

Somehow he found a chaingun... ON LEVEL 2!!!!1one!!! That
certainly made the rest of the game easier...
I don't think I used anything else...

On an interesting note, I found that if you take eagle eye at the first level, and stay in coward mode, you can actually get through the first floor without being shot once. :) I stayed in coward mode the whole game. Works especially well if you take Hellrunner at the second level.

I dunno... I prefer Hellrunner 1 at first level. Coward tactics + Hellrunner + Iron Man + Red Armor = Damn near untouchable =D

Incidentally, I've been able to bring a Double Shotgun to Hell's Arena once. Once. Never again. =(

Exactly the same thing for me, and thats my favorite weapon. Its how I got to level 13/14, never went that far again, never found another double shotgun...

Its so sad :(

And the chaingun is "good", yeah, but I don't have much fun using it.. So I never get far..

Switching tactics also get annoying, so I keep my tactic at cautious and never win.

Oh well...

@jake: Well it is true that the most fun games i play are when i don't care about anything except maximum destruction in minimum time.. but if you ever want to finish the game you'd better start using tactics ;)

@sn0rb: i like hellrunner too, but it's usually wait till i get to character level 5 in anticipation of the arachnotrons. My favorite level 1 trait remains tough as nails.

@RickVoid: nice to see that progression mate! finding a chaingun on level 2 is nice indeed, but just wait untill you find a rocket launcher there :D (only happened to me twice in 100+ games)

Last game I played, I managed to get a rocket launcher to Hells Arena.

You have no idea how great it is having 30+ rockets on level 3..

Post by: RickVoid on March 31, 2006, 22:57
Ya know, I've never even seen a double shotgun yet.
Ah well. Better keep playing.
