3. Weapons.

The Predators are armed with shoulder cannons. The cannon fires single shots. On the ground, the cannon automatically targets the first enemy in the line of sight but cannot seem to track Chest Busters, Face Huggers, and the first Alien Queen. In the air, the cannon initially fires in the direction of the joystick, but the cannon's auto-tracking takes over almost immediately. Direct hits result in explosions affecting the target and other enemies near it. Those affected are enveloped in flame and are knocked down (except Alien Queens and Power Loaders). The reload status bar indicates firing availability. Each time the cannon is fired, the reload status bar decreases. If the reload status bar is totally depleted, the cannon has overheated, otherwise the reload status bar continuously refills. The cannon can QUICKLY overheat. The Warrior's native weapon is the spear, and the Hunter's native weapon is the halberd. They cannot use other melee weapons. They simply throw them.

Schaefer is armed with a smart gun rig on his arm. He fires a barrage of smart gun bullets. On the ground, he fires by waving his arm up and down covering all angles in the direction he is facing. In the air, he fires according to the joystick direction. The reload status bar indicates firing availability. Each time he fires, the reload status bar decreases. If the reload status bar is totally depleted, the gun has overheated, otherwise the reload status bar continuously refills. Schaefer carries no melee weapons, but he can use ANY weapon that he picks up, including the Warrior's spear, the Hunter's halberd, and Linn's katana.

Linn is armed with a large caliber automatic pistol. She fires a stream of pulse gun bullets. On the ground, she fires an initial burst striking the ground and then proceeds to shoot horizontally in the direction she is facing. In the air, she fires according to the joystick direction. The reload status bar indicates firing availability. Each time she fires, the reload status bar decreases. Unlike the Predators or Schaefer, Linn does not have continuous refill. When the reload status bar is depleted, she must stop and reload her gun. Reload occurs immediately after depletion, even when surrounded by enemies. During reload, she is COMPLETELY VULNERABLE. Linn's native weapon is the katana. She cannot use other melee weapons. She simply throws them.

Other Weapons: Super Cartridge: A character picking up this item can continuously

         use his weapon to fire unlimited amount of rounds in a ten
         second period. Super cartridges are found in some
         containers and also appear whenever a player joins a game
         in progress.

Knife: Basic weapon that affects all enemies in the line of

         projection. This weapon is simply picked up and thrown. If
         it hits a wall, it falls to the ground.

Disc: When thrown, the disc returns to the thrower along the line

         of projection. If the thrower is not on the same horizontal
         plane as the disc during its return, the disc will travel
         off the screen and is lost. The disc is capable of knocking
         down enemies with a single hit. Linn can use the disc to
         hit enemies on the ground. If it hits a wall, it falls to
         the ground.

Flame Thrower: Use with care. Each blast lasts about a second, leaving

         your backside vulnerable. This weapon is short-lived but is
         very effective against hordes.

Pipe: A simple but effective weapon. Schaefer is the only one who

         can use it to repeatedly smash enemies. The Predators and
         Linn simply throw it. If it hits a wall, it falls to the
         ground.

Pulse Gun: A very effective weapon that bombards enemies with

         constant fire. It has long range and is useful against
         bosses. The bullets do not go through enemies.

Smart Gun: Improvement over the Pulse Gun. More firepower. Unlike the

         pulse gun, the smart gun shoots bullets that go through
         enemies, affecting all in the line of fire.

Hand Grenade: Powerful hand-thrown weapons. The explosion affects the

         target and other enemies near it. Those affected are
         enveloped in flame and are knocked down (except Alien
         Queens). This weapon is very effective against Power
         Loaders. If an enemy soldier is hit before he throws a
         grenade, the fallen grenade can be picked up and used.
         Grenades hit in mid-air can also be picked up and used.

Grenade Launcher: Improvement over hand grenades. This is a very

         powerful weapon. If the grenade hits, the following
         explosion propagates to enemies that are in the direction
         of firing. If fired from one end of the screen, one direct
         hit is capable of enveloping in flames all enemies on
         screen.
