	In Response To: Volunteers -- arrival (Grasshopper) : Just completed Arrival, once again. :) Yup, this should be old hat to pretty much all of us by now. It was actually pretty easy, I've had a long history of having trouble on this level, but this time around was okay. Why? That blasted maze! From the first time I double-clicked on the Marathon v0.0 demo, I've always been incredibly lost in that area. Most of the time, you can only see the wall in front of you because the corridors are so narrow. And the map view is of no help at all. I'm getting better, though. I've just about got the path memorized... You know, Arrival reminds you of NCM because one area of the latter map is a dead copy of the former. The cursed maze area appears polygon for polygon the same in NCM, although with a few corridors cut off and an extra staircase thrown in. Fists are the key to winning this level. In every single Bungie game, I've constantly felt strapped for ammo. Until I learned that the fists were a viable weapon, I was struggling through most levels on a minimal ammo consumption policy. If well-used, the level can become very easy. This was pretty much my best run so far of this level, I didn't get hit once, and used the fists the whole time. True vidmaster style all the way through. :)
