I've never seen one of these maps before. I was expecting a regular map with a tiny thin corridor. Nope. I have to admit I was impressed.
I logged in and there was a lvl 2 & a lvl 3 zerker in there and I must admit, that map, while a little large, was built for leveling. Efficiently leveling. Huge open area for lots of players. On the left were little areas for money, reloading, healing, and death. By money, I mean a small walk through netted me $20k. The front of the map held a 15 ft wide by 100 ft deep. Three welding doors were on either side of the opening for alley.
Now for the leveling alley. I was expecting at least some challenge. Nope. Invisible wall prevented the specimens from leaving the alley. So basically the specimens meandered around while two zerkers fired saw blades into them and then attacked with katanas through an invisible wall. Still, and this is hilarious, the zerkers would occasionally die from the sirens.
So I logged in as support, grabbed a LAW and AA12 and then started shooting fish. Then the zerkers started complaining about "how people are always using the LAW when they try to level", "why am I there when I'm a lvl 6 already", and "You're not even a demo." Then one guy started doing circles around me so I would detonate myself with the LAW.
I'll admit, it was fun for about 2 waves then it was just boring. Incredibly boring. I was just trying to kill as many specimens as I could to keep them from killing them. Once Patty rolled around I built a stack of pipebombs as high as I could then tried to stack grenades on top of them.
Want to know how easy it was to kill Patty?
I left with a small insult about players who use such maps and the free advice that the game is more fun on the lower levels. I wished "Good Luck" and like that, I was gone.
