Rules & Guidelines Update - II


Combat depends on the situation, weapon(s) in hand, opponents and PCs. If you are facing a strong opponent, you are most likely to lose plenty of Attribute points unless you have a KO weapon/Special Ability. Though in many cases, Special Abilities might weaken an opponent only. Still, you might have to use that multiple times to overcome a challenging opponent. Be warned - Special Abilities WILL drain your Attributes.

There are PLENTY of items scattered around the island. They could be combat enhancements, new and improved weapons, Spells, Medkits...even common, everyday stuff which look quite ordinary but could be of immense help. Don't judge an item by its looks - many a time it could turn out to be a life saver.

The reverse also applies. There are items lying around which will negate you too. Maybe chew away your weapons, drain your Attribute points, etc. They are pretty unpredictable in their nature. Of course, it will all depend on luck...and your choices.

Special Bonus stages and Award Bonuses are also plenty. Clear a Bonus stage and win any/all Bonuses in that stage for yourself. Sometimes you might just stumble in a Bonus pack (how lucky would THAT be!), and sometimes you might have to fight tooth and nail for one. If a rival team member chances upon the Bonus pack(s), you might even have to fight him/her!

Teamwork, although not imperative in Survival Crysis, is important. It will help you in keeping more team-members alive because that increases your chances of advancement into the final Stages. There are Boss levels (yes you read that right!) that would require co-operation between Team members to overcome the Boss(es). Taking on a Boss by yourself WILL prove to be a FATAL mistake. Also, your choice of a team member (or members) will also be crucial in deciding the fate of a Boss battle. Make any wrong choices...you and your chosen Team members will lose, and ultimately die, at the hands of a Boss.

Normal combats will be dependent on your PC's stats and weapons. Be mindful of who you are facing at all times. Analysis of a situation, taking all choices into account, and giving the right answers...they are your mantras for success.

All the best to everyone. We start soon.
