: I've found it easier to charge the aliens while firing an alien weapon at
: them, and then switching to the fist when you get close enough. Then
: again, you can always just use the pistol on the enforcers...

Yes, that is another strategy that can work wonderfully. However, you run the risk of toasting the Enforcer and losing its weapon if you are not careful. My favorite method is to shoot one shot at the Enforcer to cause it to move to a "suitable" location, i.e. somewhere with more room and away from other enemies. Then i fight the Enforcer with fists. It's really not that hard if you have enough room.

: That's strange... It's always felt like a smaller level to me. I usually
: clear out the outer ring first, and then go through the rooms in reverse
: order. Taking care of the harder fighting first keeps fatigue at a
: minimum.

Under vidmaster rules, I have seen only one player clear out the outer ring first, and that was Jim Mitchell. I never had luck with that method. You have only 1x shield to start with. Even if you can clear out that ring, you still have to negotiate the first room with a TON of tough enemies before getting to the first recharger. Speaking of rooms, they can't be done in reverse order. There is a certain order in which they are accessible and must be handled accordingly. As for "harder fighting first", that is my point. On Total Carnage, under vidmaster rules, this level has "hard fighting" from start to finish, especially if you clear out the level. There is no time for resting, mentally or physically. Each room, as well as the outer and inner rings, have an abundance of tough enemies. You have only your fists, your Magnum with 3 clips, and what Alien weapons you can get ahold of. From start to finsih, this is one tough level, to me the toughest.

: Hm, my CSIS 235 teacher comes to mind...

Wasn't me, but i do take my professorial duties seriously. Of course i take my Marathon playing seriously as well :)
