well That deserves an Editors choice award really the way you created the storyline it's self;) you deserve more than just by winning a game, anyway what's Descent to Undermountain about and do you think a Descent IV will ever come our way?

Thanks Obi-Wan_Kenobi

It does take quite alot of time and effort to build a level that's for sure. I think I had about 45 hours into this one. I was under the gun to complete it as the contest had a deadline. I fired it up this morning, Wow as soon as you open the door your under fire. You need to circle around the mountain (Mt. Slagel II) and clear the room. Don't grab the Plasma Cannon yet. Clear the room first. As I told you before, the Plasma Cannon is a well baited trap. Many have tired and died there. After the room is clear them pick up the Plasma Cannon. Remember, enter the false floor to de-activate the force field. Then if you like, release your Guide-Bot as he will assist you on your mission. Now it's time to Descend (Descent) into the volcano (Mt. Slagel II is actually an active volcano). Notice that the "Exit" is located just above the mouth of the volcano. I wouldn't wait for the Guide-Bot to show you the way out. When it's time to leave, Robot generators will activate and the Guide-Bot sort of takes his/her time. I like to have Lasers Blasting and Afterburners Lit on the way out.

It's a great level. I think you'll enjoy it. No mission breifing on this due to contest time constraints. Just unzip it the download into the "Missions" directory of Descent2 and Prepare for Descent!!

Descent to Undermountain had nothing to do with the Descent Series. It's an RPG that runs on the Descent engine. Here's a link if your interested...

Well finishing your Month Slagel II lever was rather the impossible insane thing to comply. hehe No wonder with about like 12 big boss bots in your end part  Undecided

Too many big boss bots if you ask me for single player mode, I rather play your level in Co-Op mode, more fun while dying with my friends instead of dying alone. Grin

Truly was designed for Co-op action. Alone I would stay just out of range and pound the heck out of them.

But if you think that was hard, you should try                  !ANARCHY! vs. Pyro GX

It was created by my buddy Stryker. I can actually beat it in easy mode there are a few well deserved Green extra-life Orbs. I die about 3 or 4 times alone but no mission failed!!

If you want to check that one out you'll fine it in the 0-9 section. The enemies are Pyro GXs and there are equally as tough as you. Plasma & Phoenix work best.


Good Luck MD 1032

It's nice, most effective at close range, but there better be an energy station near by as it will drain you fast. If the mine walls were destructable like in Red Faction, you could use it to bore an escape route Grin

I use the Helix mostly for fragging huge bot collonies in large spacey area's and most commonly for Boss Bots, the Boss Bots are normally slow and the Helix create i nice big spread effect and surely you'll always take some smaller bot's with your blast Wink The Spreadfire is a cannon I normally use in small corrowways,  and the phoenix is good for corner shooting Smiley

I was looking at 3dfx listings on eBay and ran across this one. "Descent3 Sol Ascent" I don't own this one I think it's "Bundled" software. Maybe it came with this game pad donno. I'm thinking about picking it up. I do have a copy or two of Descent2 Destination Quartzone which was bundleware, ended on level 8 I believe. That's better than the shareware, only 3 levels. Just something for the Descent collection.

Did you finish it? I was wondering how many levels and if there was a movie at the end. There was a pretty cool movie at the end of D3.

What did you think of the briefing? It's pretty difficult to add those in and get them to function correctly. I only created around 10. Once I got on-line I didn't have time for mission building anymore. That was long ago...
