Its fairly typical in the game industry for the developer to have their own website and the publisher to create the official game website. As it's built by the publisher it is often crap as.

1. It is actually DEAD HENS PASS : )
2. Ammo types = 9
3. No more darts.
At the risk of being hated, I just have to torture you all anyway by telling you how much fun the ammo is. I'm trying not to brag, because I am here at OW and that would be wrong, but personally, I love it! There are so many ways to "attack" this game! I hope that all the fans have just as much fun once you get it in your hot little hands!!!!

p.s. sorry if this is a tad off topic!

Thanks Alf, you can always be relied on to muddy the waters... I mean clear things up. I don't suppose you'd mind telling us what the ninth ammo type is?

Alf 11-15-2004 04:37 PM

Yes! It is a scalding hot cup of tea which splinters on impact! Ok, ok, just kidding.......... If I understand the confusion correctly the ninth type are Wasps, which Oddish pointed out. No darts. Assuming you know what the other 8 are. Then there's the upgrades..... Ahhhhh uuuuupgraaaaades!

Nate 11-15-2004 04:44 PM

Hey, that cup of tea sounds like a bloody good idea. I spilled some coffee on myself yesterday and it hurt like buggery*.

Seriously though, are there both stingbees and wasps, or is oddguy's page missing something else? http://www.angelfire.com/rings/oddgu...nger_page.html






*not to be read literally

oddguy 11-15-2004 09:18 PM

The ammo types I have are according to the cover story done by XBN. That only listed 8. Hmmmm, maybe Fleeches come back. Yes, to shoot their tongues at enemies and swallow them whole! Bwahahaha!

By the by, thanks for addressing our queries, Alf. You da coolest.

I like the idea of the hot cup of tea ammo ... it sounds fun! ;)

And I agree .. live ammo is really fun to use. Although I was more of a third person player ... it was good to be able to try out the different kinds of ammo and the ways to use them. *better not say which was my favorite as Alf mightn't like it* I must say that it was a very unique idea that has been given to the game.

so there is one live ammo we don't know about?
and do all the live ammo have upgrades or only some of them?
plus is there only one upgrade per live ammo or are there ceveral differents

Oddish 11-16-2004 11:45 AM

Thanks Alf! :p

The latest ammo might be when you get much futher into the game.

Esus 11-16-2004 11:47 AM

Maybe we'll have small, very fast moving mosquito type bugs - for sniping, see.

I prefer Dead End Pass. *hint*

Love the mosquito idea, Esus. We know there's going to be a sniper upgrade for the crossbow, and I don't imagine anything other than the Surgebugs being any good at such a task.

Otherwise, I make Bolamites, Sulphur Bats, Chippunkz, Stunkz, Wasps, Thud Slugs, Fuzzles and Zappflies to be eight. Maybe Surgebugs are different from Zappflies after all?

Again thanks to Alf! I value your love of the Live Ammo, because I've heard so many tales of developers growing blazé to their own developments, which can never be a good thing for making the game the best it can be. If OWI are loving it, then they've probably nailed it. :D

Alf's Assistant 11-17-2004 04:11 PM

Sniper darts are Wasps.
Gizzard Gulch is the name of a town.
Dead Hen's Pass is an area.
New Yolk City is a larger Clakker town. It's very appropriately named.
What about RuptureFarms? That's "earthlike".!!!

Dipstikk 11-17-2004 04:45 PM

So, will Stranger still have the darts around the rim of his hat? Because that looks good.

Xavier 11-18-2004 06:31 AM

thank you for clearing this up AA ;)
