Yeah, the difference between D1 and D2 is that in D1 you'll die instantly, while in D2 you'll die anyway :lol:

As for cool robot combos... lemme think. As far as aesthetics go:

Class 2 Drone + Logikill

Boarshead + Class 1 Heavy Driller

Small Hulk + Lou Guard + Green Platrformer (Ouch.)

MAX + Super Hulk

Class 1 Drone + E-Bandit (already tried in one of my levels)

Smelter + Smelter II + Red Fatty Jr

Advanced Lifter + Secondary Lifter + Diamond Claw

Fiddler + Medium Lifter + Compact Lifter

Can't think of any more. First of all, I'll compile a list of bots and then arrange them difficulty-wise into categories, then I'll sort them a bit more according to theme and we'll think about placement later :P

Did Vertigo Series get its own release or was it only ever packaged with Descent II? I have been looking for an image of the Vertigo box but I cannot find one. I've never seen it on eBay or anything. The only inkling that there even is such a thing is this image, but I don't know what or where it came from:

This is on the D2X-XL and the Planet Descent forum alongside links to the game's soundtrack. Where did that image come from?

I have no idea where that came from. I remember finding a picture of the Vertigo box but it wasn't that picture. The robot was a different one.
I like that picture though.

You could probably find a pic of the box somewhere in Gold Leader's collection: http://www.3dfx.ch/gallery/v/3dfx_colle ... t/Desccol/.
Although I took a quick look through and I couldn't.

Now that I think about it, I might have seen a picture of it before. It's the class 2 driller that's on the box, which is why it's on the Infinite Abyss box.

It is the installer background when you go to install Vertigo.

Vertigo's driller is a plasma bot thats green and silver. This bot is that light lifter that shows up right away.

Do you mean the Compact Lifter? :P

Actually it all made me think to make room for more Vertigo slots in D1,5. It wouldn't really be fair to only have 8 Vertigo levels vs 15 D1 and 24 Counterstrike ones. Perhaps it all should be more balanced, like 15-15-15 or something ;x
