Last Stand by Kbyrne/Mfs supports DM, Team

Most non-Lucasarts Outlaws levels tend ta seem a bit arbitrary an' forced in some way. They don't make you feel like yer in a real location; the buildings seem random or unlikely, the terrain feels fakey and the way th' level lays out strikes a false note. It takes great design skill to make a level that not only feels genuine but is also great fun to play in. Happily Last Stand is one such level.

A palisaded wooden fort in a small deep valley makes a great spot for small deathmatches. There's a nice variety of spaces: small rooms and passages in th' fort, a medium-sized area inside th' fort and behind it, and a larger area in front. This means that a large number of character and weapon combinations will work well on this level. Riflemen can use th' clearing in front of the fort and th' rooftops whereas pistols and shotguns tend ta to best in th' smaller spaces. There's a lot of shotgun and rifle ammo scattered about but don't worry, you'll use it.

There ain't much time

fer rest on this level. The fort is quite small with only one main central area and only one multi-room building, so killin' someone may get 'em off yer back fer only a few seconds. You'll want to keep a particularly sharp eye out fer th' medkits an' boilerplates scattered about -- that heavy boilerplate comes in especially handy. When in extreme duress look fer th' elixer hidden 'round th' side. Weenies an campers (like me heh) will do well ta try ta git ta th' roof of the fort 'cause there's only one approach. It's a tough jump but if ya make it you'll be th' terror of th' neighborhood ('specially if ya use th' gat up there) but only until ya run out of ammo.

This level is very compelling and well thought out. Balanced in gameplay and well constructed, it'll give ya a sore wrist an' noggin' in no time! There's lotsa ammo an' not a whole lotta places ta hide, so limber up yer trigger finger, pardner, 'cause yer Last Stand ain't no joke.
