	In Response To: Volunteers: Two Times Two Equals (Mark Levin) : This will be my last Volunteering for a week or so, I'm moving back to : college. No replys for a day. =(. : This level is very tricky, in the complexity, not sheer brute force, sort of : way. There are a ton of little places where carelessness will lead to : death. Falling into the slime in the first drop down to the pattern : buffer. Falling into the slime by bouncing off the angled door to the 2x : recharger. Falling into the slime by not stopping at various hairpin : turns. This is one of the more difficult Pfhor levels, made moreso by the : complex layout. It took me quite a while to figure out where to go next, : the first time through. Yup, slime really can get annoying. But still, would we be playing Mthon still if it had no challenge? : Not much to do here... Run around, kill the Pfhor, fall in the slime, run : around, kill the Pfhor, find the exit. Unlike most levels, it's easy to : find the exit and hard to complete the objective (explore), made even : harder by the randomly spawned Enforcers and Fighters roaming the : hallways. The ability to fly with the flamethrower or alien weapon is : quite valuable here, and saved my life several times when a low frame rate : caused my to miss a jump (grumble). Yup, not much to do in this level, but on TC you'll be busy for awhile. : Somewhere in the Story Page, speculation is made as to the purpose of this : level; the theory is that the Pfhor have intercepted us and tried to trap : us in the ship. I doubt this, as Durandal also gave us the order to kill : everything we see, and as we learn later Durandal appears to forgot about : Strauss at this point. I think that Durandal concluded that Strauss was : dead at the end of Unpfhorgiven, and decided not to waste a good trip to : the Pfhor ship without some carnage. Also, this might have been some : critical area of the Pfhor ship that is unrecognizable to human eyes. : There's a lot of that slime, which seems related to the mysterious Pfhor : egg, but that can wait until Ain't Got Time Pfhor This ;). =D. Pfhor scrambled eggs, yum. Gotta wait a lil though =(. Wish the pfhor used terminals. Why pattern buffers on the ship though, I mean, if the Pfhor saved their patterns... THAT might be why they respawn too much. But what about the rechargers? I hit a fighter and he stays hit, even though hes near a recharger, why are they there? O yea, Hamish, for the vid-page I have M2 films, the problem is most of em suck and I have to do them over again. Ah well, atleast Medicine was cleared and For Carnage was done no-hit style. =D
