* Loads of Tips for JM-Base.map level *
This level is very challenging. If you get stuck playing, don't forget to
look around closely for clues. In most cases, the answer is right under your
feet or right above your head.
Don't underestimate the ventilation/floor shafts for good, clean escapes from
battle. When in doubt, dive into a nearby shaft and see where it goes. There
are alot of these helpful shafts for your convenience.
Before entering a new "area" of the base, always make sure to stock up on
supplies and ammo. You never know what style of ambushes await you, and
there are always plenty of supply rooms to stock up.
This level is VERY BIG. Check your map constantly to make sure you haven't
already explored the area you are in.
When playing DukeMatch, you have ALOT of space to move around in. Make use of
this space by hiding in dark corners and waiting for your opponent to show up
in the middle of the room. Then, blast away! Also: water, behind counters,
security desks, and barrels make great ambush and hiding spots!
While playing DukeMatch, make sure you are the first one to grab the pair of
nightvision goggles! Some rooms are very dark, and this will give you a
gigantic advantage!
When playing DukeMatch, also remember to grab one of the few jetpacks. The
players who get the jetpacks first will probably be able to setup more
ambushes and will be able to "slip" out of sectors faster.
When playing DukeMatch, don't forget, some players will have better starting
positions than others. Some will have more weapons and ammo at their starting
location. Some will have an airtank or jetpack at thier starting location.
One lucky player will even start in a hidden location (Not secret)!
When playing DukeMatch, look for the room hidden behind the counter in the
crew quarters. It provides an excellent vantage point for those willing to
risk the onslaught of troopers in the crew quarters. Once secured in this
room (you must have a jetpack to get any use out of this room), fly up to
the sniper window and happy hunting! It is not very useful in single player
mode, however.
When playing DukeMatch, don't forget about the advantages of underwater. Hide
in a pool of water and pop out and smash your opponent when he passes by!
