: : It doesn't take long to notice this is Yet Another Vacuum Map. I hate
: those.
: I'm convinced they used vacuum so often to weed out any TC players running
: with the Caps Lock key. On Total Carnage (but not on lower difficulties),
: your oxygen depletes twice as fast when you have the Run key down, even if
: you're not actually moving. (Aleph One's "swap run and walk"
: setting will also drain your oxygen faster, since it just presses the Run
: key for you.) Since you don't run twice as fast as you walk, you can save
: the most oxygen by only running when you need to escape from enemies (or
: deal more punching damage, or turn faster... hmm...).
: On Major Damage and Total Carnage, you also lose more oxygen when either
: weapon key is down. For slow weapons like fists, you can save O2 by
: tapping the fire buttons rather than holding them down. Just imagine how
: awful a map would be to give you just enough oxygen to reach the end, as
: long as you didn't run or shoot...
Wow ... no way! I have A1 set to "always run", always. That is sneaky lol. I've forgotten what it is to walk in Marathon. Thanks for that info :).
