Level 4 Trains
no but i hope the train driver stops in time. Maybe nobody drives them, maybe theyre just automated or have some mech brain drving them. They only seem to go down straight tracks anyways so its not like they need anyone to drive them. If they do have some sort of mech driving them though id hate to ...

Level 4 trains
the farthest i have gotten is the first cubby hole. flooring the abs doesnt wrk for me even if i follow almost right behind the train before me. usually the part with the big gap. Youre probably not going between the "biggest" gap then, because if you pick the one with the longest time between 2 ...

Descent 3 Level 4
I doubt youd get any green stuff splattered on your ship unless it was like green mech fluid or something like that, these robots dont really have any organic parts even though they move like they do. Besides your sheilds would probably protect your ship from anything like that. Even if you got that ...

Level 8 Vents
Just fly over to the vents and go in the tallest one on the left and AB down it and slide along the wall if you cant get down using the AB till you get to the bottom. Sometimes the hatch will close at the bottom before you get through, thats okay, just be ready to fly through quickly when it opens ...

Level 4 Subways
Be careful of Old Scratches *the gray mechs with the long arms that whack your weapons off your ship*, they appear in the tunnels when youre trying to get to the different cubbyholes and they also appear at the various stations when you switch tracks. However only one attacks you at a time so its ...

D3 Level 14 Help
The switches give you messages on whats being turned on/turned off. Just make sure you shoot the switches in sequence to turn all matcens off without hitting a switch to turn one on that youve previously turned off. If you do it right, the forcefeild will go down.

D3 Level 14 Help
In Level 14 bump the CED sign to start the Anti-Virus Transmission. In Level 15, to deactivate the Matcens *robot generators* throughout the base, simply shoot switches 53274 in the room behind the energy center. This will deactivate all Matcens and give you access to the sealed room next to this ...

After you defeat the Gunslinger Mini-Boss which I think is in the Level 3 arena of the Proving Grounds. You end up in a reactor room of sorts with a level 4 key inside of it and you have 2 ways to go. Pick up the key and chose one of the paths *it does not matter which one*. Once youve chosen one ...

These bees are most likely some alien mechs that resemble organic insects and being mechanical instead of harvesting honey, they harvest ...

Transparent Objects in D3 Merc amd Not in D3
I run both D3 and D3 Merc under DirectX because Open GL seems to have alot of graphical issues with both games. I have a Nividia GeForce 4 card and I dont use any commandlines. I dont know if these issues happen on D3 Merc under Open GL because ive never played D3 Merc under Open GL.

There are seven switches around the main one that resets them all, you have to hit the switches in this order 53274. You need to count from left to right though.
