Title: Melee YASD topic
Post by: Turgor on December 01, 2005, 23:13
Sometimes i want to be able to just play this for like 10 minutes and then be done.. i could offcourse commit suicide in various interesting ways, but i decided to make a little challenge:
When entering the game, you un-equip your pistol and drop it along with your ammo. You're not allowed to pick up any weapon other than the combat knife or the chainsaw. Picking up ammo is not allowed, and well.. it's kinda useless without weapons to use them anyway eh? You can pick up all other stuff.
Ok, now see how far you can get! And please don't cheat :P
this is my best melee game yet.. so close to level 2!! (only 56 more xp :S)

Figured out: mortem.txt
I know you wont believe this post. But, hell, I'ma post it anyway. I got very lucky on the surface, and got to level two without a scratch AND with all four small health kits. Level Two was brutal, but I leveled up and took hellrunner. Level three was the KEY level-- not ONLY did a "You feel excited" spawn, where I got my red armor, but I got an insta-kill lever, which had to bump me up quite a few exp. I skipped the Arena. AND THEN i got a supercharged globe at the start of level four. Buuuuut.... I decided to pull a lever at the start that blew up ALL the walls on the level, and got mauled by four demons and an imp. bleh.

heh, i believe you BL. I've been waiting for luck like that a long time. but you still didn't get to the chainsaw as well :(
I have a feeling that if you get to Cained Court, you will get a lot further with only melee. Offcourse, getting to chained court requires both skills and massive luck.
about the wiki: hey, don't forgt Malek and offcourse Kornel! and some other anonymous figure.. or is that you too? (i have a hunch it is JimmyJ though)
