O.K. - so I've got the canister of Napalm on Level 1, but what do I do
with it now ? Is there a flame thrower to use it with ? If so, where ?
Secondly, how do (or can I ) get into the hanger room - I can see down
into it from both sides, but can't get in. The door won't open !!

Also, again on level 1, how do I get to the little flashing blue square
shown on the map in the maze area - and what is it ?

Any tips ?

Also, at the interface panel near the Napalm canister, all that comes on
the screen is a bunch of hex garbage along with some phrases like
"Armageddon, seven horsemen, etc..." Is this of any use anywhere. the word
seven is highlighted, but doesn't seem to give any joy used as a cheat or
anything. Any ideas ?

Otherwise - excellent demo Bungie - well worth the wait. I for one will be
ordering the game as soon as it is released.

By the way, as for all this "you need an 8100 to make it run OK" crap, it
runs fine on my Powerbook 540 while driving a 17 inch external monitor -
plenty fast enough to be loadsa fun. Sure - it's running 256 colours not
thousands, but who really cares that much anyway. Ask yourselves - do I
want to play a fine game, or do I want to sit around and bitch about it.
Hmm.... tough question.

Now, back to pulping aliens.

Oh yes, that reminds me - what is a compiler anyway?

There's a tunnel you have to run + grenade hop up into... see multiply
prev posts.

A civilian, and he's inside a secret door, that's empty.

I'm pissed that the network game in the demo is neutered... noone will
know how kewl it is until the release comes out (or if they are still
playing the beta for netgames).

The guys with the long pony tail, fucking with the computers.

Hmm.. now I also have SSM missiles - but no launcher. So - I need a napalm
launcher, and a missile launcher, plus a fusion pistol etc.etc. Help - I
need my fix of UltraViolence - where can I get these toys from.

compilers are either:
1- a large red or purple robed monster which floats and shoots nasty
energy balls at you. The purples shots can home in which is even worse.
2- a program used to compile code into a program. They are probably as
despised at bungie by now as we are.
