![]() However, this doesn't apply to the other bosses, despite them also using a chaingun, making their shots identical to the enemies armed with pistols. Bullets fired by the SS or Hans Grosse have more accuracy, cause more damage and each play a unique sound. ![]() ![]() Ironically, a similar mistake is also present in Wolfenstein 3D.However, the spiderdemon fires three bullets per shot similar to the shotgun guy's shotgun, whereas the same audio was perhaps accidentally applied to the heavy weapon dude and SS. The SS is one of the three enemies whose machine gun sounds like a shotgun being fired rapidly, along with the heavy weapon dude and the spiderdemon.The Wolfenstein SS was intended to have exactly one third of the rate of fire of the chaingun fired by the player or a heavy weapon dude, however due to a idiosyncrasy of the source code it takes a tic to check if the player is in its line of sight.In the original game he would fire a barrage of four shots. There is a delay every two shots fired by a Wolfenstein SS, giving the impression that the submachine gun is being fired in bursts.The SS is the tallest of the regular enemies in Wolfenstein 3D, and the closest to the constitution of the player and zombies.The Schutzstaffel (commonly known as the SS) was a notorious paramilitary organization active during Hitler's tenure in Germany, responsible for a large part of the war crimes committed by the regime. In the 2019 Unity port, their wake-up sound has been changed to "Schutzkämpfer!" ("protection warrior") so as to avoid directly referencing Nazi Germany. The sounds have also been re-recorded for Doom. When killed, they yell "Mein Leben!", a popular line from Wolfenstein 3D that means "My life!". When encountered, they say "Schutzstaffel!", identifying themselves as members of the SS literally, "protection squad". The monster's alert and death sounds are spoken in German. This is likely because in Doom, Doomguy's point-of-view is at head-level, as opposed to Wolfenstein 3D's chest-level view. However, the Nazis appear to be shorter on the screen because their sprites are unchanged in size from the originals from Wolfenstein 3D. The Doom engine considers SS Nazis as tall as former humans and the player. However, a chainsaw can be reasonably useful against the monster, but only at corners or narrow rooms and dead ends, because of its hitscan attack. The plasma gun dispatches Nazis fairly rapidly, while a single shotgun blast is often fatal. If the chaingun is used against a group of SS Nazis on the "Hey, not too rough", "Hurt me plenty", or "Ultra-Violence" skill levels, the player should watch his character's bullet stock carefully, since one is usually expending at least five bullets for every five-bullet clip recovered. In Doom II, on the other hand, his stats aren't as impressive, turning him into a somewhat weaker counterpart of the heavy weapon dude, with fewer hit points and a slower rate of fire.Īlthough a single SS Nazi at close range can inflict significant damage (its rate of fire is about a third that of a heavy weapon dude), his main distinguishing feature is now its inaccurate aim, which sometimes allows a skilled player to clear a good part of a large room without even pulling the trigger, due to infighting, especially considering the way the monster is grouped in the secret levels of Doom II. In Wolfenstein 3D itself, the SS Nazi is a feared marksman whose high rate of fire, accuracy, and large hit point total force the player to take care when fighting them. A fix for this technical limitation is available in the form of the Doom Minor Sprite Fixing Project, which also fixes issues (such as offsets) with other NPCs. This can be confusing because the Nazis are just as likely to engage in infighting and killing each other as the former humans are. ![]() Id Software's artists did not bother to make new attacking graphics for the other angles when they converted the SS Nazi's graphics to Doom II, so the SS Nazi always appears to face the player when firing, no matter where its actual target is. Wolfenstein 3D did not feature multiplayer or monster infighting, and as a result, all enemies encountered in-game only had front-facing graphics for attacking. If he subsequently respawns or is resurrected, the clip remains note however that no official id Software map contains both Nazis and arch-viles. When killed, the Nazi drops a clip containing five bullets (or 10 on the "I'm too young to die" and "Nightmare!" skill settings). ![]() The SS Nazi attacks by firing two bullets at a time, which are slightly less powerful than the player's bullet like the heavy weapon dude, he fires repeatedly as long as his target is in sight. ![]()

![]() ![]() The story that binds them together is barely coherent and revealed almost entirely in the pre-level mission briefings. The single-player game consists of two campaigns that pit you against the culturally diverse members of the aforementioned international narco-terrorist network. On the whole, multiplayer can be a fun experience, but it isn't anything special or new for the genre. Speaking of single-player, the campaigns are also available for cooperative play, but the difficulty doesn't seem to scale, which makes the co-op mode too easy and no more fun than playing the campaigns alone. One minor multiplayer annoyance is the minimap, which can get cluttered and confusing, more so than in single-player. In general, death is waiting for you behind every polygon, and it will likely find you without warning and from long range because the giant outdoor maps are a sniper's paradise.Īlthough you can choose among 22 different weapons, including such accessories as flashbangs and satchel charges, the sniper rifle is supreme in DFX2's large, open settings, so be prepared to keep your head down. ![]() Helicopters are powerful, especially in the hands of a dedicated team, and are actually easy to fly, which makes them a favorite among vehicles. You can hop into a vehicle even while carrying the flag, which is great fun, but given how tough it is to knock out any vehicle larger than a dirt bike, it's not so fun when the tables are turned. Highlights include the King of the Hill and Capture the Flag game modes, in which good teamwork allows you to dominate the competition. Similarly, the 40 multiplayer maps are mostly variations of the same batch of maps for the five different competitive game modes. The advertised 150-player limit for games seems to be mostly theoretical-you'll be lucky to play on a server with one-third of that number. In multiplayer, nobody plays the terrorist instead, everyone looks the same, and you can only identify your teammates by the presence of names above their heads. As a result, the absurd physics destroy any sense of realism by making vehicles feel like bumper cars, while weapon recoil is comparable to your average super soaker. Technically speaking, the game doesn't seem to have advanced much beyond 2005's Delta Force Xtreme, which certainly wasn't ahead of its time. Even budget game caveats won’t prepare you for these graphics, which compare negatively to older military FPS games that sell for even less. ![]() The essence of DFX2: Large ugly maps with death waiting behind every polygon.ĭFX2 follows the Delta Force formula of large, open maps and subpar graphics with a limited variety of simplistic textures. With gameplay and graphics that lag behind other military-themed shooters, Delta Force Xtreme 2 offers little to distinguish itself. However, in DFX2 even the multiplayer experience rarely rises above mediocre, while the single-player never even comes close. The game's primary appeal lies in huge multiplayer matches with vast, sprawling terrain and support for up to 150 players. Delta Force Xtreme 2 is a first-person shooter where, as a part of the Delta Force Special Operations team, you must protect US interests by parachuting into various third-world countries and decimating a hodgepodge alliance of terrorists, drug smugglers, and Uzbek separatists. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dad flew overseas to visit me every year I played. The most influence he had over my game was during my professional career, a lot of which was overseas. He took more interest in my game once my college career began at Kansas. It did take a bit of time for us to get back to having a relationship because I was disappointed when the family didn’t stay together. I think there was one high school game of mine where he got to see me play during the four years I was in high school. I had to move back to Northern California with my mom, brothers and sister. My parents got divorced when I was 13, and my dad was still playing in Houston. Because once I got into my basketball season, he was focused on his own basketball season. That was the time where basketball was the topic and we discussed how to play the game. I was a very astute camper who just happened to be able to drive home with the personality who was running the camp. ![]() That was the space where I could work on my game where dad could watch me play, give me pointers and talk about shooting form and other things. I started going before the age that was required because I was still good enough to play with the older kids. He had a sleepover camp, and I’d look forward to that camp every year. Our most basketball-focused times together were at his own basketball camp at Sonoma State University here in Northern California. I got to meet all the best players through the 1970s and 1980s.Īt what point did your father have an opportunity to critique your game, and did you ever ask him to? I got to go out and shoot around before people came into the arena, and I’d get water and towels for the players and sweep the floors and do whatever I had to do as a ball boy. I’d get dressed in my ball-boy uniform right next to him in the locker room, and for all intents and purposes, I thought I was on the Golden State Warriors. Then we’d get up to have our pre-game meal of steak and potatoes and hop in the car and go to the arena. I’d come home from school, get my homework done quickly and take my pre-game nap at the same time my dad took his. My connection to my dad came from being a ball boy for the Golden State Warriors. ![]() My dad wasn’t able to be my CYO basketball coach, or even to watch many of my games because he had his own games to play we had the same season. So he had to sacrifice a lot of his privacy. If we went out to eat, we’d get interrupted by people who wanted him to sign autographs, and if he told them he’d sign something after dinner, they’d get mad at him. There weren’t a ton of quiet family-time moments where we just sat around and talked about the game of basketball, or how everyone’s day was going. The offseason and the summer were when we got to do things as a family, and much of that time was spent doing things that revolved around his celebrity status, like the Hyatt Celebrity Tennis Tournament in Las Vegas, or golf tournaments. He was either on the road, at practice or sleeping to get his rest, and then he had 41 home games to play. I spent most of the season when my dad was playing not seeing him as often as you’d think. Not everyone in the household needed to be a basketball player. He didn’t come home and say, “Everyone has to make 100 underhand free throws before you go to bed.” Our world did revolve around basketball, but only from the standpoint that it was dad’s profession. The irony of this is that dad never pushed any of us to play basketball. I think we’re the only family where the father is a hall of famer and five sons have all played professional basketball. How involved was your dad in developing each of you to play the game? You and your brothers have been successful in basketball by almost every objective measure. To get to the heart of the matter, I recently spoke with Richard “Scooter” Barry, presently the director of sports and education for United Cities North America, but previously an NCAA-championship winning player with a 17-year pro career under his belt who also happens to be the eldest son of Rick Barry. So does this mean that Barry’s own sons rejected their father’s record-setting style in favor of the traditional style because they deemed the common style to be more effective, or are there other reasons for the general lack of underhanded tactics at the foul line by Barry’s sons? ![]() ![]() ![]() According to the German war sources only 2 aircraft were shot down by U-flaks (and some damage inflicted on others) in 6 U-flak missions (3 by U-441, 1 by U-621, U-953 and U-256).īecause of the limited fuel capacity and torpedo load U-flaks were not suitable for normal operations. U-flaks were not able to fulfill their assigned mission in the Bay of Biscay - mainly because of the group tactics adopted by AlliedĪircraft (one can see the irony in this).

![]() ![]() Acetate versions are also useful as a hands-on manipulative for students in conjunction with an uncut page. Teachers might consider copying the fraction strips onto overhead projection acetates for whole class or group activities. Addition and subtraction (etc.) are also possibilities for example, adding a one-quarter and one-third can be accomplished by shifting the thirds strip so that it starts at the end of one-quarter then finding a strip that matches the end of the one-third mark (7/12 should do it). Pairs or groups of strips can also be compared side-by-side if they are cut out. This can also be accomplished with a straight edge such as a ruler without cutting out any strips. For example, they can use the halves strip to see what other fractions are equivalent to one-half. They can then use the cut-out strips on the intact page to individually compare fractions. It can be quite useful for students to have two copies: one copy cut into strips and the other copy kept intact. Students are able to see quite easily the relationships and equivalence between fractions with different denominators. ![]() 5/6 or 10/12 should work.įractions strips are often used for comparing fractions. To add 1/3 + 1/2, for example, place a 1/3 segment and a 1/2 segment into a circle and hold it over various fractions on the intact copy to see what 1/2 + 1/3 is equivalent to. Cut out the fraction circles and segments of one copy and leave the other copy intact. Re-use both sheets by erasing the pencil and washing off the marker.Īdding fractions with fraction circles will involve two copies on paper. You should easily be able to tell which is greater or lesser or if the two fractions are equal. Lay the slide over the paper and compare the two circles. Use a non-permanent overhead pen to represent the second fraction. Use a pencil to represent the first fraction on the paper copy. Alternatively, you can use two pieces of paper and hold them up to the light for this activity. Suggested activity for comparing fractions: Photocopy the black and white version onto an overhead projection slide and another copy onto a piece of paper. Do note that there is a significant prevalence of color-blindness in the population, so don't rely on all students being able to differentiate the colors. The color scheme matches the fraction strips and use colors that are meant to show good contrast among themselves. Fraction circles come in small and large versions, labeled and unlabeled versions and in three different color schemes: black and white, color, and light gray. There are a variety of options depending on your purpose. Most Popular Fractions Worksheets this Weekįraction circle manipulatives are mainly used for comparing fractions, but they can be used for a variety of other purposes such as representing and identifying fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, and as probability spinners. by the time students master the material on this page, operations of fractions will be a walk in the park. From comparing and ordering to simplifying and converting. The other fractions worksheets on this page are devoted to helping students understand the concept of fractions. Ask most students what you get if you add half a cookie and another half a cookie, and they'll probably let you know that it makes one delicious snack. Relating modeling to real life helps a great deal too as it is much easier to relate to half a cookie than to half a square. It is a great idea if students can actually understand what a fraction is, so please do spend some time with the modeling aspect. ![]() We start you off with the obvious: modeling fractions.
