	In Response To: Volunteers: Pfhor Your Eyes Only (Mark Levin) : Welcome to the revolution... the first thing you will notice on this level is : that your motion tracker is broken. Get ready to be startled a lot. The : second thing you will notice is the Marathon floating in the distance : instead of the Pfhor ship. A great way of driving home the point that you : can have come a very long way. Hm, the first thing I noticed was my corpse lying on the ground after some enforcers decided to end vid-day early =(. : This level introduces the first totally new monster since the Lookers on : Shake Before Using: the Enforcers. Aren't they supposed to never fire on : humans? :P Unlike Marathon 2, killing Enforcers with explosives in : Marathon 1 still yields alien weapons (but it does get lost if you burn : them). On a related note, a bug in Marathon's physics makes grenades : travel in a perfectly straight line, insted of dropping slowly to the : floor as they do in M2. I'd try it, if I could find some grenades. They dont lay weapons around like they use to. How d'you get past those first enforcers anyway. I'm sure u can... : The Alien Weapon is very powerful, due to its rapid fire, accuracy, and the : ability to maintain a steady barrage for much longer than any other weapon : without needing to pause for reloading. Your HUD doess't like it, but at : least it still works. I guess the Marine doesn't run a Microsoft OS :P The downside? It can only be used until it loses ammo. Then it's dead weight. What does the marine do with all those alien weapons anyhow? I mean, he cant be lugging 50 alien weapons (maybe exadurating a little) by the time hes at Ingue, can he? I never saw them fall after I was done using them... : Another heart attack occurs when you find the empty Hunter armor at the back : of the green slime room (second door along the main hallway). Did we ever : decide if the Hunters were robots or Pfhor wearing suits? Well, they have 3 eyes so I think their uh... next question... : This level features not one, not two, but three types of random monsters: The : fighters, the hunters, and the enforcers all regenerate. Sometimes they : come at you from outside, blinking on the motion tracker, sometimes you : can find them staring at the wall like idiots and get the drop on them. : And of course there's the secret room full of Alien Weapons and dormant : Hunters. The best way to get there is to jump in the small pit of slime 15 : seconds after hitting the switch. The teleporter puts you back at the : front window, convenient if this secret is your last stop. Thats where all those alien weapons come in. What DOES the marine do with them?
