: ACME Station: The level is pretty boring with mostly just cyborgs, the
: hallways are often too narrow to dodge the grenades, and it's a vacuum.
: The teleporters which move you back and forth every second are pretty
: annoying as well.
ACME is high on everyone's list of "what were they thinking" levels, but it is fun to play. Interesting that Bungie included that one in the demo. Acme is a challenge and I appreciate it now more than then as it definitely helped me to build new skills. There are tricks to beating it and it only takes a few minutes.
: Post Naval Trauma: A vacuum level after a vacuum level, with a long way to go
: before you can get to that first oxygen station.
It would be a great level if it weren't for that.
: Where Monsters Are In Dreams: Nearly invincible S'pht'Kr chasing you around
: the dark and dull map, with no shield rechargers.
Not to mention that if you can't afford to take any hits if you want to take the secret exit.
: Kill Your Television: Way too much swimming for a lack of oxygen refillers,
: and it's also pretty easy to get lost, despite being wide and open.
You need to make better use of map mode. Also, there is and O2 recharger available - if you don't have enough O2 to find it, with the O2 power-ups already provided, you're pretty pathetic.
: By Committee: Losing all your stuff is kind of annoying, and the way they
: have you go exploring throughout all the narrow jail halls, with cyborgs
: in them gets me even madder.
I'm not a fan of rebellion levels myself. I hate the fact that those cyborgs are virtually invincible, so you have to dodge them rather than kill them. Even worse for me is the infinitely regenerating simulcrums - they're more than annoying.
: Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap!: The boring atmosphere with the seven-step
: puzzle kind of ruin it.
Thank God they fixed the puzzle in M1A1 - otherwise it's a pretty cool level.
: All dressed up, and no place to go.: The constant looping around while
: flipping switches gets old real fast, and the lack of ammo makes the
: devlins a real pain.
Ah, a non-bungie level. I can think of a lot worse levels if we look at all the 3rd party scenarios. No doubt that All Dressed Up is difficult and the ammo provided is pretty pathetic, but once you reach that first PB, it's not so bad. In my mind this level redeems itself by having so many secrets. I love finding secrets, and I found all but one of them without any help. The secrets also help to mitigate the lack of ammo.
: Life's End: I don't know how to beat it. :(
Ooo - where are you gettin stuck? I managed to beat this one on TC long before I finally beat Schmackle - a much more difficult level IMO. There is a pattern buffer right near the beginning that makes it so much easier than Schmackle and once you get below, there is a 2X shield recharger, although it's a bit hidden. There's also a secret path that allows you to bypass some of the level, and it provides a lot of ammo along with 3X and invinsibility power-ups. If you need some help, I'll walk you through it.
