Hobbes Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 On the intro scene, right after the Red Muton starts screaming you see a horde of Mutons dropping down for the attack. If you look carefully one of them isn't holding a weapon but appears falling in a prone position. So, you think he slipped on something at the doorstep while climbing out of the UFO?

Ego Terrorist Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 To me it looks more like the Muton's been shoved out of the UFO! I swear I can see the Muton's face and on it the Muton's mouth is open aghast at the fact that he's been shoved out with no parachute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 The animation is slightly lax by more modern terms... They just kind of drew him in a prone position and slid the screen behind him with all those flashy lines. The biggest problem I have with it is the Red Muton... They don't exist! The troop carrier is also way cooler than the skyranger, the UFO is like a boyracer's medium scout and the autocannon tore through those mutons like they were sectoids!

Loonie Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Well.... You have to take into account that the soldiers had attacked with such absolute ZEAL and RAGE that it overcompensated for the AutoCannon rounds!!! ... Somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hoz Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 No,these Mutons were of the 13th Airborne "Screaming Mutons" Abductor Squad...They were supposed to do it silently...but they ARE Mutons after all...it was their first and last mission...trust me,I've got contacts...

Ego Terrorist Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 That or the Mutons are actually low paid actors/sectiods, whose role is simple to get shot up and the viewer a false sense of security so that when they actually play the game they're shocked that the AP Cannon doesn't actually rip through the Muton and worse yet, projectile weapons are mostly useless against them!

cyrus Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 And how the hell some of them managed to get back on the ship :hmmm: They'd used some sort of Personal Teleportation Devices - super secret technology? Then every one of them was instructed to desintegrate it into primitive components before death, so we never had a chance to research it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 How often do you see Mutons with plasma pistols anyway? https://www.angelfire.com/games3/jeffy90/images/smilies/blink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 And another thing! How come the aliens arrive in an abducter but leave in a 'Flight of the Navigator' disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Or a Cyberdisk, as they are otherwise known... https://www.angelfire.com/games3/jeffy90/images/smilies/laugh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 For those who've not won the game, stop reading NOW and skip to the next post! What are your thoughts on those ships in the picture with the Cydonian face? Who do they belong to? Definitely not our favouite alien foe-shaped creatures. They lack the blockiness and simplicity of the invaders' geometric ships. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
