personally, since the vortex gun was introduced and the monsters in wave 20 are so many, the level should not be raised. since the new introductions, i have only known only one map win happen, in which i had helped on the pooltable map and i had a lil lady as syn may remember that time. and no vortex gun monster appeared either luckily that wave.
believe me, that was fun, i scored like 12,300 since everyone else died or was sniping from the top of the map. but i tell you, the lucifers that appeared that wave were evil. the super rapid laser rifle and particle gun almost killed me if i wasn't lucky enough to get those two as soon as they appeared. then again, i only have 399 health with booster's help. but still, man, that was hard! @,,@
regardless, if the monster level is raised, i don't mind. part of the appeal to the server is the level of intensity i have found *nowhere* else. i love it and the (real life

) adrenaline rush is why i am so addicted :}
also, i can't seem to find any more input about the vortex gun. the three times i saw it used in game, it was lagging everyone so badly map voting was even hard to do. has the particle-texture been changed since then to make for better graphical pocessing?
