Well, I was supposed to get the Strongman Platinum Badge but... looks like I didn't? I guess the only reason can be that I picked up the Chainsaw - never used it on anyone, only did it for the berserk.

In general, the beginning was pretty hilarious (about one in fifteen characters had any hope of surviving, it depends mostly on whether you find any Berserk Packs), the Spider's Lair was fun since I had invulnerability and in the end I got lucky with the exits. Here's hoping for more such luck.

The tactics I found out were mostly: avoid Demons in the beginning at all costs, try to make enemies shoot each other as much as possible, and don't be too stingy with your medpacks since you'll usually take quite a bit of damage charging in.

2
I tested the expl_color, by the way - BLUE, GREEN, MAGENTA, LIGHTRED and YELLOW will produce a different colored explosion. With the others you just get the standard colors. What I was also wondering about those properties is that there's a projectile with limited range in the game (the throwing knife) yet I haven't been able to succesfully make something similar.

3
Somebody mentioned in another thread taking a direct hit from the Cyberdemon's rocket and surviving without damage. After playing around with the sandbox I found this to be indeed possible. It seems that applying the effect of the blast to the target comes only after knockback - thus if the hit manages to knock you outside the blast radius (more likely with a high-damage weapon since knockback is calculated from damage) you won't take a scratch! Having enemies or other stuff nearby may have some effect but that seems to be the gist of it.

On the subject of the sandbox, why do several of the attributes seem to do nothing? I've tried playing with weapon/missile attributes like miss_base, miss_dist, maxrange and expl_color, but to my disappointment am not seeing any effect. Of course, what some of these are even supposed to do seems to be unknown. (EDIT - funny, now I did get the explosions to change color. Still unsure of the other ones.)

This felt surprisingly easy after getting used to melee tactics in the main game... it's not like I hung around the levels much, though. It's mostly about intuiting whether it seems worth it or not - do you feel like there will be some nice loot to make up for the nasties still lurking around?

I'm not really sure whether Blademaster is better than Vampyre, but I chose it for variety. Next time maybe I should try again to get used to a marine that actually shoots things.

Melee is really powerful if you invest in it. I originally chose it to conserve ammo, but found that once berserking I could pretty much just run headlong into those horrible piles of Revenants/Mancubi/whatever with Archviles and tear them to pieces. Closest I came to dying was holding down the left arrow in the Lava Pits... that would've been embarrassing. The Mortuary also had a few exciting moments, what with the Hell Staff teleporting me right in view of a huge mass of monsters when I was shooting for the corner. Fun game!

I actually managed to complete AoB on HMP just some hours later, I'll put it in the Berserker Lounge. Probably time to move on to Ultra-Violence...
