I discovered something about the lava by accident, and a fairly costly one at that: the lava is REALLY explosive - like missiles. This can be EXTREMELY useful: Suppose you're in level 2 (the one with the very large room near the start), and you're going to get the red keycard, which is defended by about 4 or 5 robots. As you may recall, there'a large lava pit in the middle of the room, which at least one of the robots is always directly above. Instead of aiming at the robot, aim at the lava right below it and fire a blast or two. The blasts will cause the lava under it to explode, and blow the robot above it apart! Also, since the shots are sufficiently far from the robot, it won't try to dodge the blasts! The Vulcan can be nice here: it's extremely high rate of fire turns the lava into an exploding pool of fiery death (what vivid language :). This also can work well against humans: fire above them so they dive into the lava, then blast the lava around them. Either you'll kill them, or they'll accidentally shoot the lava and commit suicide - you get their stuff either way. -Scott A. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Scott Adams - sco...@netcom.com - Atheism is a non-prophet organization --- --------------------- Member of the DOOM / DOOM ][ WAD-TEAM ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein ===============================================================================
