41.1Help !LARVAE::GILBERTLTue Jul 26 1994 08:266
    Does anyone have any clues they can give me on this level. I can't kill
    the gun-toting big guys, even with all the rockets before getting
    killed myself. Or should I try and avoid them and head for an exit
    somewhere.

41.2Run quickly and carry a lot of rockets...KAOA09::KAOP97::SOWREYSon of WorfTue Jul 26 1994 08:4020
You'll love this....


The gun toting guy (Cyberdemon) *IS* the exit!!
(Hint: ya gotta bump him off) 

How to kill him: (very carefully)

1) He shoots the same rockets you do. Even if you start this level
   at full strength, two shots and you're pureed marine, so keep
   moving
2) It takes around 30 or so direct hits to get rid of this guy
   with a rocket launcher, so you'll need good aim
3) Use a "duck and cover" method, running behind things when 
   necessary

Eventually you'll figure things out...

41.3Rocket PowerLARVAE::GILBERTLWed Jul 27 1994 08:194
    Thanks Geoff, I'll give it a try. Knowing he can be killed is a big
    spur forward.

41.4Wish I'd found this two days earlierFILTON::NOBLECoke(r) FiendTue Aug 30 1994 04:5917
    *Big Spoiler*
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I found a brilliant method for killing this guy. With rockets, in open
    spaces, he's quicker than you are. But watch his habits. he likes to
    hide behind the walls, passing in front of visible gaps which are too
    small to fire rockets through ( for you or him). Position yourself a
    short distance from the gap, wait for him to pass, and keep firing your
    ***rifle*** at him. 45 hits kills the sucker, though you may have to do
    some running in the interim!

41.5and the hints books says to use rockets...DAVE::MITTONToken rings happenTue Aug 30 1994 18:109
    Umm... use a form feed char (Control-L) to hide spoilers.
    
    Some of us run 48 line windows so spacing is not enough.
    
    Also, I don't have a "rifle" in my arsenal.  Do you mean the pistol,
    or more likely the chain gun?    45 bullets out of the chain gun
    is almost trivial to pump.  Interesting news.

41.6Bangbang bang etcFILTON::NOBLECoke(r) FiendWed Aug 31 1994 11:357
    Sorry, couldn't remember the keystroke. (Too long since I used TPU!)
    
    Rifle = option 3 = one up from the pistol. You know, the one you
    usually use.

    Umm... that's the Shotgun.  You use shells not bullets.
