Stage 3 – Catching Features: Sprint Race
Optional Stage: Part of 12 Stage Category
Aim of Stage: Complete the course as fast as possible.
Planner: ???
Recommended Device: Computer/Laptop
Terrain: Wait and see…
Warm Up: Try other courses on the ‘Competition’ section in Catching Features. One called ‘PL O-Team Sprint Cinte Tesino’ is a tricky sprint and should get you warmed up!
The Stage:
There are 2 Courses:
Course A – Longer and Harder
Course B – Shorter and Easier
You’ll find them in the Competition section in the game under Lockdown-O – Day 1 – Course…
Start with the Course A. If you find it too hard stop and go to course B. You cannot do B and then A.
The map is to the old mapping spec ISSOM2007.
There are many controls in a small space. So before you start we recommend going to the game homepage then ‘Options’ and selecting the bottom ‘Highlighting Map Leg – Next 2 Controls.’ This will make it easier to read the map. Try it on the warm up.
The stage is now closed. If you forgot to submit please email us your results and we’ll try and include the. Remember you only get 1 go #fairplay
Tips from a Catching Features Pro:
- Hold space bar to look at map whilst running
- 1 and 2 are zoom in and out
- Press ‘r’ to move the map to your current leg
- To move map – key=direction: w=up, s=down, a=right, d=right
- It’s hard to relocate so stay in contact with the map!
- Paths can be hard to see
- It gets easier once you’ve played a few different map
For the Championship Scoring: First on A course gets gets 1 point, second place 2 points, 3rd place 3 points… etc. Then B course follows on from the end of the A course. Then if you don’t finish any course you score after the last person on Course B.
