Crash site PA: Idea for new strat?
« on: October 19, 2006, 08:46:00 am »
Hello everybody,

Though I dont know if this is something, but anyway let me share this idea with you guys. maybe you already heard about it though.

When you make the clone run in the cave, you know where's its heading for? the alien ship (object. 3). It takes him 50 seconds to get there. If you shoot the alien ship, you will kill the clone president along with the explosion and you'll complete both objectives 3 and 4.

Maybe it saves a couple of seconds compared to not placing the mine, or maybe a new strat can be figured out based on this. I dont know?!

What do ya think about it?

Hmm... I completed my PR that way. Failed to kill the clone at first and still continued just to see what I would have got. Got a mission complete thanks to the clone that had run to to the alien ship :)

However, I'm trying this out. My plan was to play CS SA/PA next anyway. Skipping the mine's could work. Not that it saves that much time but still ;)

you need to show yourself to him anyway before he starts running off, so might as well throw a mine while you do so, increases chances.
sexy, this

Yeah, it takes no time to throw the mine. I'd be more interested in some stuff related to the (my:b ) A/SA techniques.

I think that there's a new PA strat with Matt's A/SA trick. I thought about that once, but didn't have time to test it.

It was something like this: do the normal start (hover, case, pod), then go save the president. Take him to Elvis, then you do the trick to kill the clone (throw the mine w/o stoping it's a possibility) and keep going on that path to the ship. I THINK it's a few seconds faster, but, again, I didn't test it, so >D

Yeah, that's the initial one that I came up with... but Ryan tested it and it didn't save time:\

Just bumping this. I managed to play like 1h30 today without my memory card @#%$ up, and the last level I could play was Crash Site, so I remembered this.

So?

I might play in a month or so, so i'll give play around a bit. I highly doubt the potential.

It's just a stupid saying that I was mocking. It just means be creative in a non-typical way, basically.
