: Used em' before in marathon shadow. They can be pretty cool, only if you get
: them to work porperly.

Large scale bitmap monsters (the Juggernaut, Marathon:Red's UESC spider tank, etc.) are a hit and miss sort of thing. The Pfhor juggernaut only worked because it didn't have alot of moving parts, and its death sequence was pretty clean (3 frames, and it loops on the last one as it falls).

The spider tank is ok - but like any large monster in Marathon, be it a Helicopter or something else - keep it only in large, open areas. Otherwise, it looks really, really bad.

Best of luck with your proposed rotocopter sprite,
