Vidmaster Tips & Tricks: Waterloo Waterpark

Ah, might as well jump.

Jump! In Marathon? In Marathon 2 yes but only on Waterloo Waterpark. At point A on the map below there is a raised platform which allows you to gain access to a secret supply of ammo (at point B). Most people will have grenade hopped up there but there are a number of other ways to get up without using grenades as Jimmy Mitchell <jmitch@erskine.edu> (aka Placid Pladipus) demonstrates in his series of films Go ahead and jump. SORRY THIS FILM HAS GONE MISSING package includes two short films showing two jumping techniques plus a third film demonstrating yet another method to access the raised platform in addition to completing the whole level with no hits and using fists only, except when dealing with some of the defence drones. The three films clearly demonstrate that there are more ways than one to skin a Pfhor.

Interesting to note that Waterloo Waterpark, unlike Arrival (the first level of Marathon), contains both an assault rifle and a shotgun. Talk about making it easy for you. Then again you shouldn't need either of them. Just Vid It - With Style!
