History (OLDN) Okay children, let's go back in time... Defender was actually the second game ever made. Pong being its successor, Defender was very advanced for the time. It had unbelievable graphics (anything that wasn't black and white at the time had great graphic design), and a decent storyline. Since then, Defender has grown up. Now it is 3D, with a lot more ships and villians, ect. There is a Defender 2, But let's discuss the first one. The basic storyline is some stupid aliens (also known as Manti) have taken over the humans. Earth is gone, and so are many other planets (actually, mostly moons). Humans have organized an orginization to rebel (duh). You are the lead fighter, Kyoto. Go kick some arse! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.) Ships (SHPS) Here are the ships used in Defender 2. Note: Speed means how fast the ship can go. Armor means how much of a beating it can take. Agility means how well a ship can maneuver. Strength means how powerful a ship's weapondry is. Defender Speed |--- | Armor |-- | Agility |------------ | Strength |--------- | Good for the beginning, especially in missions where you rescue colonists. Guardian Speed |-- | Armor |---- | Agility |---- | Strength |------------ | Good at the beginning for destroying stuff. Nemesis Speed |---- | Armor |-- | Agility |------------ | Strength |-------- | Good for missions that require you to get colonists. Defiance Speed |---- | Armor |--- | Agility |------------ | Strength |---- | Good for anything, really. Judgment Speed |-- | Armor |------------------ | Agility |----- | Strength |------------------ | Good for missions with lotta fight and little travel. Retribution Speed |------------ | Armor |--- | Agility |------------------- | Strength |---- | Good for colonist missions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.) Creatures (ALVE) Here are the creatures you'll find in the game. Friendly ======== Colonists- They don't do anything. Just rescue them for tanks, missle crawlers, and repair vehicles. Tanks- A little unit with a whopping punch. Get them at Tank Factories for 3 colonists. Missle Crawlers- Little units that fire guided missles at enemies. Get them at missle crawler factories for 2 colonists. Repair Vehicles- Repairs anythink friendly that has taken damage. Get them at repair factories for 2 colonists. Turret- A little, stationary unit that fires little blasts at enemies. You need a battery to power them up. Dropships- THese are big, slow ships. They either are transports for important people or they give you colonists. Transports- The same, basically, as a dropship, except it's on the ground. Dropzone- A place where you exchange colonists for health boosts. Keep this up at all times. Teleports- Teleport colonists to you. Carrier- carries up to 4 vehicles. For some reason, all vehicles are attracted to this thingy. It has a blue light on a pole. Evil ==== Landers- A weak little force that is basically everywhere. They eat your colonists and become more powerful, so watch out. Yellowjacket- A bug that's the same, basically, as the lander, but a lot more powerful. These don't eat colonists. Little Landers- These are actually called landers, but they're totally different than regular landers. They hover around you and shoot at you relentlessly. The shots are weak, but it's kinda hard to kill someone you can barely see. Great. Stingrays- Tough armor, high power. Think that's bad? They grab your tanks, fly off with them, and drop them at high altitudes! Infectors- Basically the same thing as a missle crawler. These are carried in by landers. Gamma landers- Doesn't look like much, but up close the thingy's tough, fast, and powerful. Beta Landers- Same as Gamma, but more powerful. One difference, though. When five get together, they fire this beam thingy at you that's really powerful! Widows- The worst creature in the game. These guys travel slow, but have incredible defense and kick ass when it comes to attack power. Reaper- Big, powerful thingys that are pretty powerful. Thank God they're rare. Podworms- A bunch of landers floating in a line, really. They fire beams at you and split up when fired upon. Shock towers- Powerful, stationary weapons that can't be easily destroyed. Turrets- These are the same as shock towers, but the shots have tracking. Brain Bug- A boss. These guys aren't really powerful, it's the manti around them that kick ass. The manti just swarm you. Oh God. Dreadnaught- A lot more powerful, these things are pure hell to kill, especially with their little manti buddies. Manti Queen- Impossible to kill, just stay away from her. She's only in one Earth Level. Lander Forge- Creates landers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.) Walkthrough (WLKT) Here is the Walkthrough... Triton ====== 1st training mission -------------------- Okay, get debriefed, fly through the rings, kill the manti. Wow, that was hard. 2nd training mission -------------------- This is easy, too. Destroy the buildings, get the power-ups, and get the colonists. The only problem is, well, some manti found the camp. Go have some fun before going through the stargate. Mars ==== Cydonia ------- Yes! Memory is launched! Now we don't have... What the... MANTI? Aww crap! Well, stay alive for the first part. Kill for the fun of it, but don't get yourself killed. After a while, a dropship will need your aid. Escort it to the stargate. Many manti will want it down, make sure they don't get their wish. After that, Col. Adams will need an escort. This is easy, since he'll just fire at any manti attacking you. Once you get to the stargate, the mission is over! Promethius ========== Lake Thanatos ------------- Okay, you have to get all of the colonists. Use a fast ship to get them. Manti will be all over the place looking for a victim to mutate, so watch out. After the colonists are clear, you defend yourself for a while, waiting for the guy in the dropship to show up. He complains about manti attacking him (no matter what, he's obviously blind), then he runs for no reason, even if the base is clear. Well, just fight any manti on the premisis. He should come back. When he does, he will get the colonists. He goes back, but memory has to redirect the stargate to get you in. When the stargate's redirected, go in. Lleras Dunes ------------ Okay, you should have the Nemesis. Use that to fly around and get colonists. Believe it or not, that's it. There are two things that will annoy the hell out of you during this mission: 1.) Manti's constantly trying to mutate colonists. 2.) Col. Adam's stupid ass voice telling you to pick up colonists. Play it cool, and you should be OK. Rhea ==== Oduvai Gorge ------------ Okay, you start out at the base. Kill the two manti hovering around. After that, then go and pick up some missle crawlers, and bring them to base. That should be all the defense you need for the base. After you bring about 5-6 missle crawlers to the base, go and get the colonists. Waves of manti will try to mutate the colonists, so watch out. After the colonists are rescued, defend Muto's ship for a while. He shouldn't be there too long. Once he's gone, you have to hold your own for a while. After a while, a podworm will come out of an egg. Keep shooting at it's head. It will split a few times, but once it's down to two little thingys following the head, a few more blows should finish it off. Hold your own for a while, and then fly through the stargate. Titan ===== Aeneas River ------------ Alright, your mission is to make sure the bridge lives on and that the transports cross the bridge alive. Now, many forces will be striking you like hell. I personally advise carrying around a tank to help you out. Remember, there are little health supplies scattered around, make good use of those. You will be introduced to infectors and sting rays this mission, so keep your ass out of trouble. Remember to drop off the tank you're carrying after you're done. Argus Caverns ------------- Okay, you start out at base. Some stupid manti stole a power supply. Kill the manti, and get the power supply. Take it to a turret and power it up. Find other power supplies within the base area (they're towards the right), and power up more turrets. After that, leave the base, and take a right at the first opening you see. There should be a missle crawler. Take that back to base for defense. Now, leave the base, and look on the walls. Somewhere, there should be a boulder with green gas coming out of it. Find it, destroy the boulder, and you should find a lander forge. Destroy that, and go get colonists. I swear, there is this one colonists that's hard a hell to find... Find all of the colonists, and win. Europa ====== Legba Basin ----------- Okay, take some colonists and drop them off at the tank factory. Drop as many off as possible, get as many tanks as possible. Drop the tanks off at the entrance. Help the tanks devour the widows. Tanks are powerful, but remember, so are widows. After a while, some dropship will crash, giving you about 5 free colonists. Get more tanks. Also, remember, the teleporter is teleporting colonists, so check that often. Once the widows are down, the mission is over. Straits of Imuslund ------------------- This is one of the hardest missions.To start out, get about two missle crawlers, to hold off the flying manti. Then, spend the rest on tanks. There are about 3-4 widows in this mission, and they're dangerous. The teleporters will constantly keep teleporting colonists. Get them to the tank factory, immediately. You will run into Kamikazees for the first time, so realize their power. Now, once Col. Adams says all of the widows are gone, then concentrate on getting missle crawlers, to take out any flying manti. Once all of the manti are gone, the mission is won. Phobos ====== Orbit of Europa --------------- Oh, crap. Col. Adams and his ship are being intercepted by manti. This is one of the hardest missions in the whole game. On your side, you have a couple turrets and a defender ship. The other side has 500 manti. Damn. Alright, just protect the ship until the techs can restore the gun. Uhh... Okay... The gun just blew up... Great, now everything's gone (except the turrets, but they aren't much help)! After this, just protect the ship until the mission is over. Where's Muto when you need him? Mount Biafra ------------ okay, this is a long mission. Before you look for the Patriot, look for the abandoned base. Once at the base, power up all of the turrets. Then, go find Col. Adams and the Patriot. A swarm of manti will come when you find the Patriot. Save Col. Adams in the tank and grab two colonists. Return to the base. Try to put Col. Adams near a turret or something, for extra protection. Then, go and fetch the rest of the colonists. After that, you have to battle endless manti for ten minutes because stupid Memory can't get you reinforcements. After a while, a repair vehicle and a couple colonists will find their way out of the Patriot. Grap the repair vehicle along with two colonists. Drop off the colonists and put the repair vehicle by Col. Adams. Fight for a few more minutes and reinforcements should arrive. Mission won. Mars ==== Sirtis Major ------------ This mission is pure hell. Okay, you start out at the landing pad. Use the most powerful weapon you have on all of those ditz manti on the ground. Once the ground units are on the ground, they will help you clear the ground units. To make matters worse, a whole arsenol of flying manti are on their way. These manti come in a swarm, you will probably lose a life here. After the manti are cleared out, then go to the base. Some guys will drop off two repair vehicles and two tanks. Move the tanks up front to take on the upcoming widows. Take the repair crawlers and put them near the thingy that has the yellow light coming out of it. Now, some ship should've crashed, giving you six more colonists and five more manti. Get the colonists there, and give them to the tank factory. Put the tanks you get from there where you put the two tanks before. During the time you were getting the colonists out there, some guy gave you more colonists. Give them to the tank factory. You should now have plenty of tanks (remember the other squad you had to clear the landing pad out for!). By the time the widows come, the other squadron should come and help destroy the widows. After that, the dreaded dreadnaught should appear. This thingy will be extremely hard to kill, since it's accompanied by about 100 other flying manti. I advise staying behind the other manti, and hitting the dreadnaught from the back. After the dreadnaught's dead, you have won. Bromios Desert -------------- This is another toughy. Start out by killing the widows on the outsides of the base. After you kill the widows, there really is no point in worrying about the generators, unless you really need credits. Now, many waves of manti will be looking to destroy the base. Don't let them. Now, see those missle crawlers at the places where the barriers were? Take those and put them near the base. THis is for extra fortification. The one thing I don't get is the reason for a tank factory, but that's it. Now, once you have taken down three waves of enemies, go out and kill the brain bug. There are five betas, so watch out. After the brain bug is dead, you win. Khimat Ridge ------------ Okay, you start out in the middle of base. Fly to the right to make sure the transports get through safely. One transport will break down. Get the colonists from that transport, since widows are converging there. Once all of the colonists are safe, we need to figure out how to spread them out. Get about six tanks for the widows, and all of the rest of the colonists should be spent for missle crawlers. Put the missle crawlers around the dropzone. Now, go behind base, and you will find a powerplant. This is resource haven. There is a teleporter, a carrier, a repair vehicle, and a bunch of health boxes. Put the repair vehicle near the dropzone. Use the carrier to transport tanks. Frequently check up on the teleporter for any colonists. Use the health packs only in dire situations. Oh, and a little side note, you must kill all of the widows to win. For some reason, all of the widows were sitting there doing nothing, leaving me to battle manti for 30 minutes. After you get the widows killed, get the lander forge. Watch out by the lander forge, it has tons of defenses. Once the forge is down, you win. Asteroid Belt ============= Alchera Fields -------------- Okay, this is easy. Landers will come in, but they are just to distract you from the Kamikazees. From far away, a locking attack should wipe out a Kamikazee. And, just because they're distractions, the landers can still do some damage. YOu might not need it, but there is a ship, and that ship has some supplies. Towards the end, the Kamikazees just get pissed off and about 6 come at you. Finish the Kamikazees and the mission is sucessful. Moon ==== Mare Frigoris ------------- Okay, this is hard. Start out by taking out all enemy ground units. Betas come with the packs of ground units, so watch out. Then, tow the tanks to the base area, for extra defense. It takes a while for the convoys to make it to the base area, so have some patience. Swarms of manti will try to attack the convoy and the tanks around it, so make sure that doesn't happen. WHen the convoy FINALLY makes it to the base, huge swarms of manti will attack the dropship and the transports. You have to live through 2-3 swarms, so you're in the long haul. If you make it out alive, the mission is won. Carpathian Mountains -------------------- Alright, you can make this a lot harder than it is. Take the eight colonists. With these you'll form missle crawlers. Go out and destroy a forge. Then, some ship should be coming in with more colonists. Make more missle crawlers out of those. Make sure that all of these missle crawlers are around the dropzone. After the colonists are done, go out and destroy the rest of the forges. After that, the mission is won. Earth ===== Rhone Valley ------------ This level isn't too hard, if you play it right. Use some colonists to get a couple repair vehicles. Use the rest for tanks. Now, a swarm of manti should hit you hard. Keep it cool and use your forces. Dropships will come in and give you missle crawlers and colonists, use those to your advantage. Widows will be approaching on the left, take them out too. Once this is all done and over with, you're supposed to hit the stargate. But, suddenly, Col. Adams wants you to see some stupid manti. No big deal. Well, it becomes a HUGE deal when you see it. You see the queen. She is impossible to kill. You might want to run right away so the other manti don't bother you. Make it through the stargate and the mission is clear. Argentine Pampas ---------------- Okay, this is a little long. First, grab some colonists. Trade them for a couple repair vehicles, 4 to be exact. Put two by the dropzone and two by the drill. Then, get some tanks to destroy the widows. After that, get some missle crawlers for the drill. That should suit you nicely, along with the 10,000 turrets you have. All of that weapondry isn't enough, though. You have to be on your toes for this mission. A lot of colonists might get mutated if you slack off. Now, a huge wave should hit. Keep switching between the dropzone and the drill, just to make sure you're not getting swarmed. You must rescue all colonists. Once you do, it'll take a while for the dropships to get to the dropzone, but when they do, the mission is won. Moon ==== Luna ---- This is the final mission. Memory is gonna commit a suicidal attack to wipe out the manti. Power up all of the generators (it only says 4, power up all 6 for speed). Make sure at least 4 generators survive. After about 10 minutes after you powered Memory up, she will be ready. Before then, make sure she lives. On this mission, you will encounter all of the flying manti. After the mission is won, you see an ending movie, and you win the game. Congradulations, you are truly the Defender. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.) Interactive (INER) Alright, this is the interactive section. What does that mean? It means you can show off the most ships available, the most powerful ship you have, the most weapons you have available, ect. You will get all credit, but if someone sends in a better record than yours, then yours will be replaced with the better record. To destroy his record, just comply with the guidelines and beat your opponent. (F.E. You put the Defiance. Someone E-mails me that he has The Guardian. You have to get a more powerful ship than him, or you lose the spot. You may E-mail me to ask if the record is better or not) My E-mail address is [email protected]. And, title the E-mail Burnout 2 Record, so I know what it is. Oh, and don't say you did something when you really didn't. That's just weak and cheap. If you have the same record as somebody else, they got there first and, not to be rude, I won't post yours. Sorry! Also, I am an active partaker in this, so I might be the one to beat your records. Most Money- Most Powerful ship- Most Nimble ship- Most Weapons Available- Highest level score- Most colonists saved in one level- Most Tanks made in one level- Most Missle Crawlers made in one level- Most Repair Vehicles made in one level- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9.)
