Forgotten Enemies For 1.3 PB4 Progress

[Red Devil]

I've decided to make life hell for you guys who think you can handle it.

Options:

Capture Object (now called Alien Artifact): Now also gives capturing team access to alien tech.

Monsters: Two are spawned at different times.  Monsters are very powerful and relentless and need to be destroyed before they reach your base - or you get wiped.  They now retarget when their intended target is gone.

Pilots: They don't run back to mommy any more, but fight you with special, randomized weapons like Rifles, Grenades, and Rockets,  On Hard, they get Satchels, Hoverpacks, VIR, and Blink.  Ever try to kill a hovering Sniper or a Blinking Sniper or an invisible Sniper or a stealthy Saboteur?

Weapon Countering: AI counters your weapon choices.  Insane weapons are given to the AI on Hard Difficulty.

Animals: All kinds of hungry animals have been added to MPI (and maybe Strat) (or you can choose the harmless Jak Killers).

OOOOH YEAH!!!

one question: do the 'hungry' animals eat tanks and building???

[Red Devil]

Not whole.

[bigbadbogie]

that would be sweet as-- if animals could like open a huge mouth and just eat your tanks

[OvermindDL1]

Dune worm?

 I actually feel sorry now for the people playing other games like HL2, Battlefield *, etc., who think they are playing the best games.

Oooo, head crabs...   

[bigbadbogie]

hey - hl2 is my 3rd fav game 

[Red Devil]

There ya go.    See? 3rd best.   

[BZDraconian]

Any new animals or monsters?

[Red Devil]

 Yes and no.

I never liked playing too many MPI for Forgotten Enemies before because it was downright impossible to get started. They would roll in with the best stuff in the time it took you to make two scavs. Have you made progress on the feasability of at least standing a chance?

[Red Devil]

Hmmmm...might be good to have a new one at that.  I might make the monsters two different ones, so that would fit well.

What fun is that?   

Seriously though, the reason they did that was because they didn't have many dependencies.  I'm making it more proportional now.  Except maybe for the Cerbs.  They're just mean.

Well, if I'm sitting there in a Xyphos and a Demon rolls in while I'm setting up my Recycler I'm coming for you...
