[JugadorJ3]

If you want to be ranked high... you've got to have fun playing villa... and be tortured playing... let's say MBR? Maybe Lec and KS will disagree.

Here are my most like through to most hated:

g5
air base
maian
escape
villa
infil
defense
rescue
extra
defection
skedar
AS
deep sea
inves
cs

"Best and Worst of PD speed?"

I don't get what your asking, what are the worst levels to go fast on or what?

[ParagonX9]

He's stealing my poll   Basically... I wanted to know what levels people consider to require the most skill, and which require the most luck.

It's kind of a weird question and open to a lot of interpretation.  Some levels require a reasonable amount of skill... Some require a great deal of skill and luck... Or you could just put what is most fun I guess.

Villa, G5 are top choices for me I think
MBR, WAR are the lowest

[Narigutita]

i think G5, Villa and Extraction are the most skilled levels...
Deep Sea is both, skill and luck...
attack ship NTSC is more luck, i guess...

[SamSim]

Well, let's take a look at all the random factors in the game. Levels with annoying NPCs are Extraction, Escape, AF1, Crash Site, Deep Sea, Attack Ship and MBR. Extraction is probably the friendliest in this regard whereas Attack Ship and MBR are the worst.

Defection - the glitch is only random if you lack the skill. On PA you have the programmer to deal with if you take the glitch strategy, or the ground floor guards if you do it old-school...

Investigation - Invest A is almost all luck, we know this well. PA is pure skill and perseverance, however.

Extraction - Dr. Carrol is the only properly random element here, the rest is fiddly strafing...

Villa - Probably the best skill level. No NPCs, no timed events that you need to wait for or time your objectives to coincide with...

Chicago - Still almost entirely skill, just way shorter than Villa so it gets ranked lower.

G5 - Skill again but with the annoying guard patterns and horrible fiddly strafe patterns. About as difficult as Villa but tests different skills.

Ruins - Because of the annoying pillars you end up PR'ing about half as fast as on any other level here... but ignoring that it's all strafing skill.

War - all strafing again; shorter than Ruins or Villa, and with a ridiculous number of sticking doors...

Defense is my favorite by far, since I actually have more than 150 points on that level .  Can't say that for Duel ... G5, Villa, and Maian are all right there.

On the bottom of the scale... P2, Skedar, Extraction, Escape, MBR, War, and worst of all, Crash Site.  Basically all the levels I always thought were too hard to make PR's worth points

[Dark0Perfection]

I love defense on agent. There is luck involved but the enjoyment I get by playing the level over others counteracts that annoyance of luck.

I also really like investigation( ).  Luck is a huge factor but I also enjoy playing that level, but I am not sure why.

G5 and P2 can both suck on my huge shlong for all I care.

Villa is a level that is all skill and is also a lot more fun than most.

Crash Site has a reasonable luck factor but also requires knowledge of everything in the level.  You have to know how to play with the luck factor.

I don't feel like writing more now, I might add more later.

[renemesis]

Infiltration and Defense are kinda cool, but you have to wait cinemas and stuff so I don't play them.

Investigation is "fun" because it's so easy and you don't have to worry about dying or messing up too bad.  Just a lot of luck.

Air Base is fun.  I suck ass at the lasers though.

Rescue is fun.  It's kinda random I guess.

Villa is like all skill, but I don't like it cause I am really bad at it.

Now I will copy this topic in GE, kthx.

generalization: use of skill more liked than use of luck

[Wabs]

I'm too lazy to rank every level , from most liked to most hated so I just give this :

Most liked : P2 , G5
Most Hated : Crash Site

[SXR]

Favorites:

P2
Crash Site
Defense
SOS
Investigation


Hated:

Deep Sea
G5

[Wouter Jansen]

I don't know why Bryan likes Deep Sea so much either

[nspd 2]

I say Escape is my favourite level.  When I returned to the elite and picked up the WR, I could (and should) have kept going to like 3:25, and also should have got PA under 3:30; this level isn't much luck at all, it's mainly skill.  The only thing I find luck is the stupid Medpack; I can never get it to register, everyone seems to have their consistent strats to make it complete when you blow the mine up every time, but I just can't get it.

If I return to PD, I'll return there...and maybe go for 1:09 Villa Agent.  (I could settle with 1:10 though)

At the bottom of the list of fun levels is MBR and Deep Sea.  (mainly because of the NTSC/PAL thing on deep sea...)

[Lecmasta]

I must say that MBR requires skill... You just need practice to push Cass. You can easily do 90 pointers even with a slow cass...

Levels I like are
Escape
AFO
MBR
Air Base
Villa
PII

Levels I hate are
Defection
Chicago
Crash Site
Ruins

Levels that are totally gay are
Investigation
G5
Infil SA/PA
Deep Sea
and most of all, WAR!

Some things you mostly cant control can be frustrating though... I'll list the top 20 things that I find the most frustrating in PD solo missions... *for those who are bored*

0)the bot in investigation
1) Stucking in the cheese room  when you perform the glitch on defection
2)the pillar settings in ruins
3)the incredibly gay non-opening doors of War, and ruins
4)president in crash site
5)the dumpster in chicago
6)the first room in G5
7)the power room with 8 switches in P2
8- the GPS blue gay civilians in P2
9)the stewardess in Air base, mostly on SA/PA
10)randomness of the disguise guy in Rescue A
11)Elvis running to where he comes on escape while you are trying to push him
12)Guards running in every direction in deep sea
13)Elvis dying in attack ship
14)missing the canyon jump on ruins when you have a perfect settings
15) lag in Infiltration SA/PA
16)Cass talking for no reason on MBR on an insane run.
17)getting stuck in invisible walls in escape/MBR
18- Dr Caroll dying in Extraction
19)Grenades that kills you on escape because of the stupid lag
20)Screwing the Pres pushing on AFO SA really badly because you're too much of a slut to finally achieve an untied WR, goddammit...

Edit: Ezboard is gay, was annoyed by those 8,) faces.

[JugadorJ3]

Where are the invisible walls on MBR? Also, there are 2 on attack ship. War also lands itself a bit of gayness in the invisible wall department.

[ParagonX9]

Why are the pillars bad for people on Ruins?  You can tell instantly when you begin if it's the correct setup.  And the probability is exactly 1 out of 10 if you go through the math.  You can get the good setup once a minute easily

I find that I don't mind the luck where it must go right eventually... Stuff like stewardess on Air Base, making the jump on Ruins, good panels on Pelagic II are good examples.  They don't bother me too much... But you can just never get a "perfect" Elvis, president, or investigation bot... You're not even guaranteed a "fast" one after any amount of playing.  Hope I'm sorta clear.

[nspd 2]

Hmm.  But the thing is, there are ways to make the president/Elvis/bot much more consistently fast.  I've proven it (to myself, at least) on Investigation Agent, where I'm easily able to get 48-50 bots every 2-3 tries.

[renemesis]

Then why don't you just get 1:29/1:30 every 2-3 tries?  Idiot.

[Boss]

Yeah, it should be cake to get 130 at least with anything under a 50 bot.

[Djie]

and for some reason your trick only works for you.

[SamSim]

The reason I hate P2 is the hideous lag when you use the X-ray scanner.

[nspd 2]

I could get 1:29 easy.  I got 1:31 in a few tries with a 0:50 or so bot, and that was after a long bit of inactiveness.  I just stopped after that and haven't felt like playing PD since.
