Nice tactics, and I agree that part of the charm of the game is to find weird combos that work out.
In single player, my patented
Hand Grenades ($1500) to
Vintage Shotgun ($10000) has so far yielded a high score of 221878 and I challenge anyone to beat that with any other tech.
Hand Grenades ($1500) ->
M4A1 ($6000) ->
Minigun ($12500) is also Single Player classic that makes level 5 and the walrus a cakewalk (although you have to kill the turtle with grenades). I think this is the easiest 1p tech, right guys?
Shotgun ($2500) ->
Minigun ($12500) is doable (hard coded to be doable, actually
) but very difficult in 1p.
In 2 player mode, just about any tech is possible. Asker and Glufse have beaten the game using double
Magnum ($500) ->
Minigun ($12500), for example (proving how overpowered the magnum really is)
The real "nightmare-mode" for 2p would probably be:
Player 1:
Magnum ->
Sniper riflePlayer 2:
MP5I believe this would be possible with player 2 only hunting penguins and activists starting on level 4 and player 1 one-shotting all the fatties. I'll have to try it with asker the next time we see each other.
