Free interpretation   : map01-05, tyson, 100% kills, dying late in 06


Comments              : now that was a tough title, especially
                       because i play tyson now for just three
                       weeks. D1T is _nothing_ compared to D2T,
                       since the biggest badies in D1 are the
                       caco and the baron of hell, which can be
                       both boxed one-on-one with some practice.
                       in fact the baron of hell is the only D1
                       monster that couldn't be chain-sawed,
                       even cacos die without reaction in the
                       waterfall of sharp metal teath, tearing
                       into their soft flesh... got carried away,
                       sorry. :) in D2, you have to provoke in-
                       monster-fights to box or chainsaw certain
                       creatures (e.g. mancubi or arachnotrons).

                       map03: "the gantlet" (lv03-d2t.lmp)
                              more than enough bullets, health and
                              two megaarmours make for a really easy
                              map. just pistol-shoot your way through.
                              time is 12:45 and dance is at the start.

                       map13: "downtown" (lv13-d2t.lmp)
                              now that was more challenging, since
                              i've never seen a tyson recording of
                              this level and didn't know exactly
                              how many bullets are available. so i
                              just run around for some time to let
                              most of the monsters kill themselves.
                              e2m5 was harder, but this also is an
                              "advanced tyson map". time is 33:43
                              min and dance is at the start.

                       map27: "monster condo" (lv27-d2t.lmp)
                              the masterpiece. new in the tyson
                              levelset, never before asigned, never
                              before completed for a DHT exam. first
                              patrick martin did it in 45 min, demon-
                              lord in 25 min and i never, ever thought
                              i would be able to complete it at all.
                              but i worked out a route that puts the
                              dangerous parts in the first few min of
                              the lmp. rini also got 27 asigned, and
                              using roughly my route, he was able to
                              complete it. the same evening, he coached
                              me to success. only thing is, that i
                              would have boxed the painies, but rini
                              said "no, too dangerous". hmpf. bet he
                              only said this because he wanted me to
                              stay over his 44:05 min recording. :)
                              tip: just watch the first 5 mins, 'cause
                              after i start shooting the mancubi, it
                              really get's boring. time is 54:04 min
                              and dance is in front of the big arrow
                              right after the 30 secs secret.

                       free : map01-05, tyson, 100% kills (01-05d2t.lmp)
                              wanted to do the first 5 maps tyson
                              style with 100% kills. i did it, but
                              forgot the stupid dance, so i did it
                              in map06 at the start. than decided
                              to try "the crusher" as far as possible,
                              but since i wasn't prepared, i had no
                              clue about tactics or strategy. in the
                              end i died while trying to persuade the
                              hell-knight to kill some revenants for
                              me. all in all the chainsaw from map01
                              really helped alot. dance is at the
                              start of map06.
