What is the policy for Telic weapons and equipment on non-Telic maps?

Carth · 3rd Mar 2006, 11:01 PM

(BiG_D) Make a rule regarding telic weapons
(BiG_D) That's going to be issue #1
(Carth) oh
(Carth) and what should the rule be?
(Carth) i only don't allow them in rambo challenge because they weren't there before
(Carth) if people knew they could use them from the start...
(BiG_D) I think at least separate those who use them from those who don't
(Carth) :S
(Carth) i think it would be interesting to see how people use them
(Carth) flamer is obviously going to be the best weapon
(BiG_D) hahah
(BiG_D) salsa's post

So uhm.... yeah. Use them if you want. I don't think stuff like Shenks or Morita hax will affect it too much

Carth · 4th Mar 2006, 02:08 AM

Beat you just after you went to bed BiG_D

It was a terrible run, I got hurt far too much (although naturally not as much as you... I didn't have any heals

). I'll wait for you to beat it before bothering again though. Bored of Salvage.

Carth · 4th Mar 2006, 02:40 AM

If anyone wants to team up, I need some help with ReactorCore. Most of the times in that post from June were bogus, either roofhax or suiciding a marine. I tried it just now taking only Crash, and I got 2:01. But I know there are places where I could improve. The bits that takes up time are:

*The end; I am forced to backtrack or I run into a wall of them, it would be quicker if someone held it for me so that I can run straight to the dropship.
*The vents; sometimes I get a really bad spawn, with them spawning behind me a lot, someone with a shotgun leading them would be much better than me with a p-rifle or morita.
*The hive; a second rambo could help (same person who helps in vents). I end up going around it a few times to get all the eggs and the valves. With someone else there, I would only have to worry about one side of the hive. It would just generally be quicker with two people in there

Anyone willing to help with one of those?

Phantaloz · 4th Mar 2006, 05:11 AM

I failed at 2NiceBoxesofShit and JohnsMom, so I'm hopeless

Carth · 4th Mar 2006, 06:35 AM

lol...

You were doing it on normal right?

lol...

Johnathan · 4th Mar 2006, 08:35 AM

Even I wouldn't try to solo my mom... *ahem*

I'll see you on... erm... I dunno XD

Carth · 4th Mar 2006, 09:31 AM

Only Fuzzy_Bunny is crazy enough to try something like that.

Johnathan · 4th Mar 2006, 09:52 AM

Beastiality for teh win! :S

BiG_D · 4th Mar 2006, 11:50 AM

Salvage.

Carth · 4th Mar 2006, 11:55 AM

Nice. That is unbelievably fast.

Butters · 4th Mar 2006, 12:50 PM

Change rule #7 and my suicide squad might participate !

Carth · 4th Mar 2006, 01:17 PM

No !

You'll leave a marine at the start and half the time it takes

Butters · 4th Mar 2006, 01:41 PM

At the start of Salvage! With a welder! To download the Ortega! BAZ!

Hybrid · 4th Mar 2006, 01:59 PM

I'll throw out a decent Rescue in 4:20 and Navigation in 2:05.

Demos available. Could do slightly better on both, and I imagine that something like Salvage would be faster with 2 people.

Moses2k · 4th Mar 2006, 02:17 PM

Speedrun!

I think you of all people should know there aren't enough welds to download the Ortega if you waste them at the start of Salvage.

DelXander · 4th Mar 2006, 02:55 PM

Hey, this is fun.

Thanks for the info guys. Uber mode is the last missing, I see.
Or is there any other secret like the 1000 kills ?

(Tried it with Crash and got 2:47 (ReactorCore).....

)

You're welcome to try, of course, but I can't see anyone beating 4:30. That means I hit the flare at two minutes, I doubt you can do it much faster than that.

Moses2k · 4th Mar 2006, 03:43 PM

TK yer whole team in under 1 second for the AbFab MammerJammer award.

Fuzzy Bunny · 5th Mar 2006, 03:19 AM

I almost had 2boxes, but Cat misused her pmk and Crash died at the end. Then I went to try again and remembered there was a no bots policy.

Want to try sometime on NoData's server Phanta?

Phantaloz · 5th Mar 2006, 04:49 AM

Sure! We'll beat it in the timelimit! *coughcough*

Moses2k · 5th Mar 2006, 05:15 AM

I don't understand why you're coughing and rolling your eyes.

He did it alone. Check total kills and Faith's kills, they're the same. He also showed me a video of how. Can't say I approve, but whatever works

Donator · 5th Mar 2006, 07:21 AM

ReactorCore

Flamer, Shotgun and HackTool. But I'm pretty sure there're another 10-15 seconds in there once you team up to hold the exit spawn.

Yeah, I thought the same. Wanna try?

BiG_D · 5th Mar 2006, 10:11 AM

Yeah, bad screenie. The final screen
Loadout was either flamer/med/stuns or flamer/med/pmk. I honestly don't remember which, as I was messing around with both. I didn't get a video of this run, recording videos made things so laggy I couldn't play properly.

Donator · 5th Mar 2006, 12:14 PM

Suggestion for next Alien Swarm Title: if you use any cheats, have the word "cheater" displayed across your char pic at the end. That would save the trouble of recording demos for events like this one.

@Carth: question is, who gets the fun and who gets the exit?
