To use the DFA2 Physics Model, place it in your Marathon folder with the game, run the game. Ignore the "may crash" warning, etc. (If playing net games, make sure the Physics model is in their Marathon folder as well).
Part 2: Flying with the Gravity Boots
If you've changed your "run" key to caps lock, change it back to Control or something else. "run" is always active, since most Marathon players use it all the time, anyway. So when you "walk" you'll be going at "run" speed. If you don't like it, do your own Physics Model.
The controls are set up so that when you press the "run" key (referred to as control from now on), you turn on your gravity boots. Any upward/downward momentum (or movement off a ledge, even the smallest drop) activates them, and you'll fly through the air, up to the ceiling, where you'll hover until you release the Control key. Pressing the Control key while falling will once again turn the tables on gravity, stopping the fall and taking you back up.
You *can't* change your forward/backward speed while the gravity boots are active. But you can turn.
Try going backwards and then activating the boots. This lets you back up while firing, handy for retreating and shelling.
Also turn on and off the boots for a fantastic "swooping" effect that causes screams from fellow net players.
Part 3: G.S.C Threat Nueutralizer Hand Projectiles
Now the fist throws high-powered grenades with a wide blast radius, perfect for dropping down onto unsuspecting victems that like to hide close to ledges and below shafts. Is also well used when on the run, by blitzing past enemies and lobbing grenades, the desired effect of blowing the other guy to shreds is achieved.
Throw Grenades by pressing the second trigger while using the fist.
Improvments over Death From Above 1.0:
* Grenades now do more damage to your rivals!
* Safely throw grenades without any danger of taking damage! You are invincible to
your own grenades!
Part 4: D.F.V Anti-Grav Proximity Mines
Now, the first trigger of the fist deploys high-explosive Anti-gravity mines! Stick 'em anywhere, even high up in the sky, and D.F.V Proximity Mines will stay there until some unluky soul runs in to them and blows sky high! Just add enemies and watch the fireworks!
* Mega-Damaging
* Floats anywhere
* You are invincible to the mines and the blast when mines explode.
Part 5: Using all the features together
Here's the fun part.
#1 Death From Above: Start flying (it dosen't matter which way) and watch aliens group under you, just waiting for you to land so they can destroy you...Not bloody likely! Good thing you have Death From Above II....You switch to your fist weapon and slam on the second trigger - launching death-dealing grenades on that happliss group of alien sleezebugs! Watch and laugh from your position high in the sky as you rain cold death to your enemies! If you run off a platform you'll have more flying speed, and you can do cool straffing runs by just slamming on the grenade trigger while speeding across a room loaded with tons of aliens!
#2 Spicing Up Net Games: Is your Nnet game filled with anoying people who just can't get enough of Death From Above II? Never fear! First, start flying and switch to fist mode, once you've reached the desired alttitude, hit trigger number 1 to deploy a air mine, repeat until sky is filled with mines, that ought to decourage flying around for a little while!
Part 6: Flying backwards
Flying backwards is better, trust me. Not only can you aim better but it's a better view, and you can actually see your enemies go down under your withering barage of grenades. If using the Carnage Centre Map (explained in Part 7) I reccomend, flying fowards up to one of the ledges located on the sides of the main arena, land, turn around, and run backwards off the ledge, once falling, turn on the Gravity Boots, and your flying backwards! For the sake of God! Fly backwards!
Part 7: The Carnage Centre Map
Specally made for the Death From Above 1.0 and Death From Above 2.0 physics Models, The Carnage Centre Map is fun, fun, fun! With a ton of enemies (and a few M.A.D.Ds).
To install the Carnage Centre Map, Rename it "Map" and place it in your Marathon folder with the game, run the game. Ignore the "may crash" warning, etc.
Part 8: The Saved Games
Two saved games are included (remember to have the Physics Model up and running): Saved game #1 and Saved game #2 , load these saved games as you would any other saved game from Marathon. Saved Game #1 is set in the Carnage Centre Map, you are armed to the teath and ready to go, but you still can die, Saved Game #2 is also set in the Carnage Centre Map, but this time, not only are you armed to the teath, but you are also invincible! Have Fun.
Yes, not only is Death From Above (DFA) fun, but it's got blood, guts, and just all-out total mayhem by the bucketload.
