Campaign Level 12 in SVN

Postby Ed » Fri Sep 18, 2009 12:43 pm

Level 12 which is on Strength with almost all weapons is too hard to complete. The use of the fireball just means that the bots spam fireballs everywhere. I have tried several times but am unable to complete it.

Has anyone else play tested through the campaign recently?

Hmm, well the fireball isn't balanced yet and is still in development. I should point out that the fireball gun will not be in 2.5.2, so for now this isn't a problem. Who knows for 2.5.3 though, as this is where the fireball gets added (Assuming we get new sounds for it).

-- Also, I have play tested the campaign a lot and noticed some pretty big problems with it, including incorrect descriptions of the levels. I'm going to re-do these today, so.
Do it yourself, or stop complaining.

Did you mean 2.5.5? Because 2.5.3 has disappeared from the roadmap, not sure why.

Ah, thanks for clarifying that for me. I guess the next release is going to be a big one.

Yes, the fireball is quite strong now and like they said it is in development. And someone put it in the 2nd place of the bots weapons priority list, so that's why the use it all the time :)

So we will see how this weapon gets stabilized, after that probably I will remove (or add) some bots to that level ;)

Another one:
Level 28, the time required to win is 3.6 seconds. Shouldn't this be 36 seconds? The value just needs changing from 360 to 3600.

Just experienced this joy. I decided today it was about time I completed the campaign, but about 2 hours of trying to beat the bots on strength as they spam fireballs/mines was just impossible. Very unhappy now. :( The previous maps were fun, though!

If you're on latest SVN, then this should not happen..... If you're on 2.5.2, then this should not happen...... If you're somewhere in between, update nao? :X
