: Presumably for the same reasons that the Trooper can use his AR and we can't.
: Pfhor seem to have better technology with regards to vacuum-enabled
: weaponry.

: I agree completely that this is one of the more stunning levels in the
: series. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to built it.

: One of the things that makes this level so dang difficult on TC is the
: accelerated depletion of oxygen. Because of the close quarters, the
: shotguns are very useful, and when used against Pfhor fighters that are
: nicely bunched up in a tight corridor, can lead to some spectacular
: "two-for-the-price-of-one" kills.

: From a playing perspective, this, along with IIHARL, gets the prize for my
: most deaths in the series. I've restarted those levels more often that I
: care to recall, trying to find the right approach AS, or hoping I would
: simply get lucky and not die IIHARL.

: The first time I played through MI, I actually got to a point where I did NOT
: have enough oxygen from my saved game to finish the level, so I ended up
: having to restart the whole game.

: -gh

yeah Ive been trying to vid this level recently, but im finding it...*tricky*

Its really hard to get the pfhor fighters to fight the cyborgs, i guess it must be partially luck.
I really want to do it fists only too, i may be trying a long time :)
