Description
< Previous Day l Next Day >Protector Drone from Duke Nukem 3D's fourth episode!
These fellas seem to exist solely to project the Alien Queen and her hive, so no reason for them to appear in other episodes. Good thing too, since, Protector Drones are really tough customers for common goons.

When I first encountered them, I decided to be nostalgic and use the ripper on them (Aliens, y'know?) Anyways, at first I was able to kill them off quickly before I even knew they had a shrinking ability.

Same here, I thought one of those wall mounted shrinkers had hit me in middle of the fight when a drone shrunk me the first time

You always gotta overwhelm them with damage, then they can't do jack.

Honestly, these guys are the worst enemy in the game, especially when there were other grunts with 'em!! Them trying to shrink me made me more nervous that any battle lord!!!

Thank god they fire projectiles at least. Anything that can't be dodged is the worst for me (Pig Cops, Enforcers and BattleLords...)

Actually, they do appear briefly (and I do mean BRIEFLY) in Alien World Order: Mirage Barrage. - Unless you already played that episode and knew anyway, in which case, my bad!
But yeah, most badass.

Oh right! I forgot about the Alien World Order extra episode in the 20th anniversary edition!

Great levels, but rather lousy final boss.

Yeah, the levels where golden, but I don't get how they dropped the ball so badly with the boss battle.
That new flamethrower Cycloid had ridiculously short range and the arena was a long corridor! His AI didn't count how far you where, so the dumbshit just stands there firing his flames at thin air while you can blast him from the other side of the map. Didn't get hit once and literally just stood still

Only levels I didn't really like were Prima Arena (Modified Dukematch level) and Tour de Nukem (Wacky difficulty spike) Rest of the levels were gorgeous, especially Red Ruckus, my favourite!
It looks like they just copy-pasted the Cycloid Emperor's code and attack patterns, but didn't take in to account the short range of the flamethrower. So yeah, you get the whole "Just stand still and you'll win" fiasco. - I think those Pig Cops you fight before him were more a boss fight than he was! 0.0

I liked all of the maps for the most part! I guess the difficulty spike part you are talking about in Tour de Nukem level was that underground section?
I found the battle with a Overlord and BattleLords in that one huge underground missile silo to be hardest part of the whole episode. That part might have been in the Red Ruckus level.
Yeah, they obviously copy-pasted the AI from the old final boss ...

Soundwave04 In reply to LewdBacon [2017-10-29 17:50:43 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, that part. The rest of the levels were difficult, but manageable. Though I felt when you get into the underground, it gets a tad TOO merciless.
Oh yes, Red Ruckus' silo battle. Oh hey, you wanna fight an Overlord? You don't mind a Mini Battlelord and Mini Overlord hounding you as well, right? xD (Speaking of which, I was surprised Mini Overlords appeared! Mini Cycloids as well... but mini cycloids are too easy to exploit. :/)
You know, I'm willing to bet there's a modder out there that could turn the Cycloid Incinerator into a proper, fearsome final boss! (Like how the Doom community can make all these badass Cyberdemon variants!)

I hoped they would have created a new boss all together, not just recycle stuff.
At least they added the new Firefly enemies

Infinitely spawning tough and fast bastards with shrink ray attack! Jesus Christ how horrible.
So satisfying to beat that boss, especially thanks to that crazy finishing move Duke does on the Queen
