Carmageddon2 - help please, what's my objective?

Hi Guys, I have bought a 2nd hand Carmageddon2 - just the CD, no manual. I've worked a lot of it out, & am having fun. I can kill pedestrians & animals & stuff, I can kill opposition & finish the level, I've even scored enough to buy a couple of cars. But I don't know what I must achieve to progress to new levels. Must I complete all three tracks at group 1? Do I stay in group 1 until I have destroyed all possible opposition? Am I supposed to collect All the bonus boxes scattered about? A web link to a "walkthrough" or some general objectives here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys

Good old carmageddon 2 is quite a laugh, reasonable physics and a fairly decent damage model... of course yes the ideas to suceed in this game dont make it a sim of anything anyone would want simulated!! But fun and running good on the new age "fast" specs. as to the question, there are 3 "races" in each group, then some form of mission... the first one i believe is a checkpoint race against the clock. once you have finished each race (by either doing the laps - or what i have always done: gaining time through killing and wasting all the opps) you are forced to do the mission. be aware they get harder and harder, as do the group races with tougher opponents and less pedestrians around. I am personally up to group 10 (i think) and need to go back through the auto saves and use some credits to buy a heavier vehicle. i have been basically using the red eagle and just getting the solid granite powerup (makes hits 10x more powerful in effect) to waste the tougher opponents.. when you get to level 10 these are scarce and im having trouble even causing more than a few percent of damage to the fatter opponents. tip: i searched google for carmageddon 2 mission help/hints/walk throughs and came up with a site on an Aus'lian www server that is worth finding if you need a hint.

Thank you very much for that info Lagwagon, I've been playing only in the "quarry", and now you've told me I'll head off to the two city tracks. I'll see how far I can get before I go to google for more help. Greatly appreciated, Tina "Lagwagon" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Unfortunately, I belive Carmageddon 2 will not run under XP at all, no matter what. I've had no success with my GeForce 3 getting it to run. :( ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Webmaster, http://simcrash.fameflame.dk

I'm running ME so cant be of any help there. i have however downloaded the C3 - Death Race 2000 game, but have yet to find time to try it - it was supposed to be a complete 3d world overhaul with better performance than C2 on the same hardware. i've been unable to track down a copy in any shops or fairs, hence the download... i'll let you know if it's worth finding and i expect it would work in XP. later "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5y019.160512$%%[email hidden]...
