Author: Sandor Fekete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Octarec2.map Type: explorative Difficulty: very difficult Secrets: tons of secret areas COOP: maybe - I haven't quite tested its COOP capabilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Funfactor: if you are not into exploring, funfactor is LOW, but the visual impressive- ness keeps you going. if you ARE into exploring, funfactor is VERY HIGH. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Description: This map is actually an improvement over an older one. The older one had a few problems, and did not have as much detail and functionality as this one. Anyways, I designed Octarec2 to look like some kind of a hotel/recreational facility that is in the shape of an octagon, hence the name Octarec. The octagon part of it is just the beginning of the map. There are four main parts to the whole map. The first part is somewhat linked to the second part. In the first part you will have to find 5 blue keys to open the five hidden locks in the octagon. The locks aren't invisible or anything, they are just ingeniously placed, so look sharp, verrrry sharp. It is NOT easy. The first 5 locks open 5 doors in the second section, so don't hope for any doors to be opening right away. (note - the 5 doors only open when you press on them. I warn you, this is NOT an easy level. An added difficulty is a lot of enemies, especially in the beginning. Do not fret, the beginning is just a warmup. The level is NOT impossible, I repeat, NOT impossible. There are tons of ammo everywhere, but you will have to FIND the weapons. Keep in mind that there are a LOT of secrets, so push on everything. I consider myself an expert Duke player, so when I designed this level, I tried to make it challenging even for me. So it doesn't matter, whether I know where all the secrets are, it's still hard. If you play a lot of Duke you should know the strategies on beating enemies, so use your ammo wisely, because you will need it at stage 4, 'cuz you will be fightin' a big momma. (Note: This level takes me 30 minutes to finish if I'm not rushing.) Thanks for trying Octarec2, stay tuned for a really impressive level. This one is gonna be AWESOME. The biggest ever in Duke history - It maximizes the Duke Mission Builder (relative to size of map).
