We have finally played and completed one of my favorite maps! Altogether, it took 7.5 hours with about 100 restarts. The 1st chapter was really difficult because of the first spawn until we stayed under the stairs. But this chapter became more difficult as we progressed. There was always at least one tank that spawned far away on the bridge, making it impossible to sidestep him. And even if we did pass those bridges, there were always some awkward tank spawns in the caves and toward the end. The 2nd chapter was also difficult because of hitting the switch and going back to open the door. There were usually a couple of tanks back there and they used shortcuts in the acid-filled area after opening the door. The 3rd chapter was more time-consuming than anything because of waiting in the vents. The spawns weren’t too awkward until later on in the chapter. And since the elevator saferoom required everyone to be there, including incapacitated survivors, we didn’t use kill commands. Neither did we use kill commands in the 4th chapter because of the elevators. The first quarter of this chapter was all about timing the spawns well. It was ideal to jump off the ladders before the second tank spawned on the elevator. We then waited in the vent and ran as quickly as possible right after every tank died and before the next one spawned. If we were quick enough, the next tank spawned above the ladder and automatically died. Fortunately, the finale was easy because of the godspot in the holdout even though it was a pretty long chapter. I was a little disappointed that we ended up using godspots in every chapter, but that showed how difficult this campaign really was.

Tank Run: Only Tanks spawn in this mode. All weapons (except for the M60) have infinite ammo, pipe bombs explode much faster and will cause Tanks to stumble, bile now slows Tanks significantly and causes them to take rapid damage over time, and ammo piles are replaced with laser sights. Finales will also spawn two Tanks at once, and all finales last 10 minutes, even finales like The Sacrifice. Certain maps, such as The Sacrifice and Last Stand, will spawn 3 to 6 Tanks when the rescue arrives. Created by Rayman1103.
