I still like Der Riese better... maybe just the fact that the perk-a-cola machines are not randomly setted is a plus for me...
And the punch-machine makes it all better... just like the teleporters.
don't get me wrong, I love the additions to Der Riese, it's just that the map layout makes the teleporters useless in higher rounds as you'll get swarmed as soon as you go back to the mainframe, plus it spawns dogs eventually too.
It swarns dogs and in large numbers lol :P
But I use the teleporter a lot, especially cause it gives you a bonus and because you have little more time to get to another teleporter to back yourself up.
i love Pack a Punch, but you still run out of ammo way too quickly which sucks.
That's why you have to use a good strategy like mine. Use the modified trench gun and try to find yourself a perfect weapon in the random box. Each round, let a crawler alive and go get special shells for the trench gun and only use your second weapon when you get in big troubles... monkey bombs are still a must, for at least one of the guys :)
Last time I played, I got to round 26 with 3 of my friends. Problem is that I was the only one kicking asses until round 20, when one of my friend started using my strategy.
I had a modified trench gun and a modified ray gun. But at round 26 when I completely ran out of ammo, I jumped down the catwalk and got into the teleporter... than 2 of my friends fell down and I got stuck in a corner 2 minutes later after using the teleporter twice. Than my last friend fell down...
The big problem was that my microphone's battery was down... and that I couldn't tell my friends that I ran out of ammo
and like Verruckt, this is a map where playing with 3 other people is essential, but honestly, using the same strategy to get to wave 30+ gets boring after a while. not suprisingly really since it isn't full of space like Shi No Numa which was a map that had lots of room for different strategies to get to high rounds.
You can change strategy in fact. Some people do try holding the different teleporters instead of just holding the stairs, and it works :P
I do like Der Riese, it's just these problems bug me a lot, but enough ranting, i've decided that i may as well get map pack 3 for the PS3 version anyway :)
If you already have it on one system... anyway... lol :P
