ShockEd was released around August 2000.

You told me about those. Would be awfully cool to get some screenies of what Levyathan's been up to lately.

Actually, they prefer to be called Shocklings, but I don't really know why, and it's not much of a difference anyway.

And unfortunately I'm just playing the game lately (or trying to... damn midwifes). Figured it'd be a lot better to know the whole story before thinking about an expansion.

Here are some screens of my part in that mission, if anyone's interested at all...

I blame Shrike

Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good Shrike
Just blame it on the boogie.

Deck 3... Hydroponics. CREEPY.

Babies need to sleep... Yeah. Babies need to sleep. I need need fifteen minutes to change my shorts after the scripted event spawned a cyborg babysitter behind me. Luckily I've been toting a shotgun with rifled slugs around. I've been search the Eggs this time around too. Lots and lots and lots of Annelid healing organs. Groovy.

And in our next episode, our intrepid OSA hero goes through the hatch to Hydroponics A and gets to face off with angry mecha.

Is the multiplayer Deathmatch or cooperative? Only bad thing about the game in my view is the lack of people.

Styxx · **Reply #49 on:** April 02, 2002, 01:16:37 pm

Cooperative. Really fun to play, from the few minutes I tried it.

And the lack of people is actually a good thing IMO - well, at least the lack of living people.

Zeronet · **Reply #50 on:** April 02, 2002, 01:26:32 pm

Sounds good, mabye we should organize a HLP one.

Styxx · **Reply #51 on:** April 02, 2002, 01:29:13 pm

Well, it only supports up to 4 players, but we could try. If you want, we already have 3 - you, me, and mikhael (I don't believe he'd pass this

).

Zeronet · **Reply #52 on:** April 02, 2002, 01:35:49 pm

Its a patch right?

Styxx · **Reply #53 on:** April 02, 2002, 01:58:23 pm

Yep, you need the last patch for the game for multiplayer to work...

mikhael · **Reply #54 on:** April 02, 2002, 02:04:41 pm

I played the multiplayer game for a while with some friends. There were three of us and we each took a specialized path. I took Navy hacker, and my pals took Marine gunman and OSA spook. It was excellent.

My only complaint would be that the game is more than a bit easy in cooperative play since the game balance was designed for one damage-dealing hero.

It strikes me that porting Shock2 to a more up to date engine. DeusEx has most of the features necessary already.

Zeronet · **Reply #55 on:** April 02, 2002, 02:20:39 pm

Im being the gunman. Cant get enough of those big guns.

^Graff · **Reply #56 on:** April 03, 2002, 01:19:57 pm

I got the game a few weeks ago the same day I got BC. I'm on deck 5, can someone tell me where to find a dead power cell? I have the code, but I can't find a cell for the generator by the pool.

You know, by the time you're done, I don't think I'll need to buy the game anymore - every experience present in those CDs will have been solidified into text format for me to peruse at my leisure... with all the lights on.

COWARD!!

Steak, it's much better to experience it first-hand.
There's nothing like seeing five hybrids running toward you shouting "Silence the discord!" or walking through cargo bay 2 with the kamikaze protocol droids saying "I'm sure that this is just a big misunderstanding(why did Trioptimum pack al that C-4 into their protocol droids, anyway?). And when you actually see someone else alive onboard the ship, you jump for joy. It isn't as interesting to read about someone else doing it.
