Cast your mind back
into the depths of time. The year was 1984 and
the world was introduced to lasertag for the first
time. Photon was born. It was the first lasertag,
and even though it is no longer with us today,
some still consider it the best. Now, using the
wonders of Laserforce technology, you can play
it for yourself and make up your own mind!
This mission type emulates the classic Photon
'maneuver'. The rules are simple:
- The shot speed is very slow (about one shot
per second).
- There is no lock-on tone.
- Zap opponents once to deactivate them.
- You can be zapped at all times, however you
are only deactivated if you are zapped while
you are up.
- The deactivation time is five seconds.
- There is a delay between when you zap an opponent
and when they are deactivated (about 0.5 seconds).
- You can only zap the same player three times
in a row before you must 'clear' your phaser
by zapping someone/something else.
- Zap the neutral/enemy in-field targets three
times in a row to destroy them and gain bonus
points.
Notes: There are three variations
of this mission: individual, team and partners.
The variation determines whether there are teams,
and if so, how many. In the individual and partners
variations, all in-field targets are neutral,
while in the team variation; in-field targets
may be friendly, enemy or neutral depending on
their colour.
Warbots are not active (they weren't invented
back in '84).
Recommended length: 7.5 minutes.
Skill Levels: All players play
at the same level.
