	In Response To: Volunteers: Acme Station (Mark Levin) : A level that needs no introduction. This is one of the best of MI's levels, : and possibly the most difficult vid of the series (although it's merely : hard when playing a normal game). The map design is absolutely stunning, : with huge views, complex detailing, and windows in nearly every wall, : floor, or ceiling. Sometimes much of the station is visible. : This is also the first vacuum level since Marathon 1, but not the last. You : can only use the fusion pistol, alien weapon if you have it, pistols, : shotguns, and KKV here (and of course your fists). Interesting to note the : appearance of Fighters. Have they ever been clearly identified as not : vacuum-enabled? : We're back in a universe where Durandal controls us. This time, however, he : wakes us up a bit earlier than he did before. He's trying to subvert the : Pfhor orbital defenses, and possibly buy some time by interfering with : their communications. : There's very little oxygen here, so keep moving. One canister is available : near the pattern buffer, one near the teleporters. There are a few secrets : available to help you. There are places to pick up a fusion pistol and a : KKV, with ammo for both, although they're well-guarded. A double-sided : switch will open a secret 2x charger near the first terminal. : The last terminal has also seen some changes since the demo; specifically the : additional paragraph about the Pfhor's special ship. It's obviously Tycho, : but we don't know what he's up to. Hmm... One thing about this level that always puzzled me. Why can the flame-cyborg use his flamethrower and we cant?
