Xanthier Posted July 26, 2005 I played Rhein for the first time last night to fill the empty hole in my heart at my loss of beating RTC-3057: Hub1. I couldn't get it running off the doom2.exe so I ran it in ZDoom, so maybe this is a Zdoom specific problem, the game was okay... but what is with the freaking rats? I didn't know that basement rats are deadlier than demons, each time I got bit it knocked off upwards of 25% of my health, and they were impossible to kill with a knife. I've heard of Ben, but this was ridiculous! Anyone else notice this? 0 Share this post Link to post
Xenophon Posted July 26, 2005 The damage isn't a Zdoom-specific problem (it's been like that in every Wolfendoom episode which had rats) and is quite likely intentional (although stupid - just like the "machinegun" being a sped-up shotgun). The knife issue may be Zdoom-related though, since you can walk over monsters in Zdoom but not in Boom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xanthier Posted July 26, 2005 really? I'm surprised and saddened to hear that because it makes it damn near impossible, they are hard for me to see and attack by the droves, its sad when you take out a platoon of SS officers and then get mauled to death by a single tiny rodent. I used IDDQD. 0 Share this post Link to post

caco_killer Posted July 27, 2005 I think the worst thing about most of the Wolfendoom WADs is the poor ammo/health balance. There's so much in ammo in them, but hardly any health at all. 0 Share this post Link to post

Martens Posted July 28, 2005 I like Rheingold and Eisenmann a lot, but when I tried the others I was mostly dissapointed. Rheingold especially, you need to give it a shot, you will not regret it. (The first level is a b*tch - Can I say that in these forums? - but afterwards it gets really nice, especially when you start fighting Panzers...) 0 Share this post Link to post

188DarkRevived Posted July 28, 2005 My fav WolfenDoom is Operation:Arctic Wolf. saweet! 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted July 28, 2005 Yeah, Arctic Wolf is my favorite too. It takes a lot of liberties from the original Wolf3d but it was a winning gamble. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xanthier Posted July 28, 2005 that settles it I'm gonna try arctic wolf 0 Share this post Link to post
Martens Posted July 28, 2005 Actually Arctic Wolf is not as good because it abuses Duke3D textures and has a big number of rats, unlike Rhein or Eisenmann. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted July 28, 2005 Arctic wolf was to me a very impressive wad, but the gameplay made it boring as fuck. 0 Share this post Link to post
188DarkRevived Posted July 28, 2005 The only thing that I didn't like about it was that little glitch with the knife weapon and the phantom radar dish. Otherwise it rocked for me. Decent mapping. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xanthier Posted July 28, 2005 I thought Rhein had lots of rats, I guess I'll try Eisemann then. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted July 28, 2005 If the problem with knifing the rats is due to them being too short to hit in Zdoom, you might try turning on the actors infinitely tall compat option. 0 Share this post Link to post
