After all, this is a FAQ/Walkthrough under massive construction. Thank you. ===================================================== +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ INTRODUCTION ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III Once upon a time, an outlaw had the amazing idea of organizing a Drive-n-Kill race. This race was unlike any other [race] for it involved the city's true maniacs in a race that would end lives. The rules were simple: drive and waste your opponents. The winner would earn the rule of the city. The crucial day arrived. The tension was unbelievable. Peaceful citizens hid around the city and then, the booming voice through a loudspeaker came. 3-2-1-Go! Pidgeotto Do you love Carmageddon 2? Are you stuck anywhere in the game? Want to do everything possible from end to end throughout? Your wishes have been answered thanks to this FAQ/Walkthrough. What a great game Carma 2 is if you know everything about it! This FAQ provides information on everyhting to do with Carmageddon 2. People should note that ( 1 ) this FAQ does not compare games as do many others. Thus, I wouldn't be noting the ingame differences between Carma 1 , 2, and TDR2000. Also, ( 2 ) I might leave some info out due to occasional forgetfulness. Many ( 3 ) of the things written have to do with the easy difficulty unless said otherwise. Peds ( 4 ) are referred to as zombies. Download the blood patch for red blooded ones. A link will soon be present at the bottom, as well as URLs to add-on cars and levels. Well, this is my first contribution to GameFAQs, as you might have guessed. As you can see this walkthrough is very new and under very heavy construction. If you don't see anything covered on this FAQ/Walkthrough then please email me at paffkabg@hotmail.com Well, this is it. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ FAQS ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FFF Several people have sent questions that are in this section. Please read everything covered and then mail me. >How can I find the section I am looking for quicker?< ~For your (and actually my) convenience, I have fitted a searchable format. I have attached to each chapter and general topic, a unique coded tag which can only be located in the Contents section as well as the place of interest. The tags are corresponding to each title in the Contents and you should use those, to quickly search the whole document. Providing your browser is capable of it, press the buttons 'Ctrl' and 'F' simultaneously to activate the search box. Type in the code and hit 'Enter.' The first search will stop at Contents and the second search will lodge precisely where it should.~ >I have heard you can cut your cars in half. I have tried but can't.< ~Try and hit the corners of buildings or the sharp angles of other objects. Some cars can't cut so check the 'Cars' section on information of which cars can. However, most can and to do so, you should drive into a wedge shaped obeject at speed with precision. Cesm adds: Most add-on cars for Carmageddon 2 get wasted only when they are split in half! But NOTE, it's only some of them.~ >Which car is the most powerful?< ~What do you mean by powerful? Strength, speed or defense? I guess that the most worthy one is the Big Dump but it hasn't got much defense. However, smaller vehicles such as the Deathcruiser and The Plow MK2 are impossibly defensive and can mangle the Big Dump quite easily. It is really your choice of what a good car's all about.~ >How many different stages are there in the game?< ~There are exactly 10 stages of which you play in the game. These do not include the Network game stages.~ >How do I save the game after I complete a stage?< To load it, or load another one, just click on the Load Game in the Menu and choose a previous stage.~ >How do I make my car more powerful?< ~You should notice that at the main title screen, there are three rectangles made out of small blue boxes just below the picture of your current vehicle. At the very top there might be orange predominating several of the boxes, along with a lighter blue occupying some of the boxes beside the orange ones.~ >How can I buy cars?< ~After every completed race, be it having been raced, crashed or run-over-pedestrians through, you'll be taken to a screen with the cars that participated in the stage you've just completed. Click on the arrows to move around and thus select a different car. However, a vehicle is only attainable once it has been wasted. If it's not, then it can't be bought. If it's wasted, its price tag will be displayed along with the amount of credits (cash) you have up to that point of the game. If you have enough money, you're allowed to buy it but if you don't: tuff luck. Be careful as to what kind of car you choose to buy as you might be just wasting your credits on some of the bangers.~ >How can I finish a race?< ~To the expert, this question's quite simple. But to a baginner it might not be that easy to figure out. First of all, when a race is highlighted in the main title screen, a description of it is displayed in a box just below it. On most missions you'll be given three choices to finish it off. - Race around through all the checkpoints and laps: Now, this is fairly easy as long as you get a head start from the rest of the pack at the beginning and are able to, along the way, snag credits and vital Time Bonuses while at the same time checking for oncoming rivals. - Waste all your opponents in that particular race: This is neither a tough nor an easy challenge. It wholly depends on your cars' abilities and their status. If you've been collecting bonus slots and have filled many of them up, this should be a piece of cake. This doesn't mean that you can face a big dude with a max stats Bimmer. Even with the stat advantage you'll be wasted before the announcer even calls for the race to start! - Run over and kill all the zombies (pedestrians) in that single level: To many people this seems to be an impossible task for it involves the running over of hundreds, sometimes thousands, many of them secretive zombies. If you want to finish off a stage fast and without much commotion, try either of the above two. However, if you're firm on such a massacre and have the time, I suggest you do so as it is remarkably rewarding. But on special missions, there won't be a choice, but a singular task which you'll have to overcome.~ >How can I increase my money (credits)?< ~It can be increased, of course, ingame. You can do all sorts of things to get more and more credits which will later allow you to buy cool cars. You can gain quick money buy pulling off artistic stunts, driving over live zombies, wrecking an opponent's car, running into free credit pickups or by collecting stat increasers when you have no empty slots. It's all your choice but don't forget that there are also credit decreasers which you must watch out for.~ >Do I have to restart the mission all over again when I get flipped upon my roof or side?< Nope, nope and nope. That might look like an easy alternative but you'll have lost everything gained in that level you were playing. Instead, a quick remedy is to press the Spin button. If you're in a good position, you'll fall back onto the tarmac safe. However, in some cars if you're flipped around completely and the roof is stuck to the road the Spin button will be ineffective and a waste of time. Press the Recover button to automatically land onto a safe spot, this time with all wheels firmly on the ground. This will cost you though and if you're playing the Pro mode, you'll be paying dearly a severe bill.~ >My car is not moving! What do I do now!?< ~This is a common problem. Make sure you're tight on the accelerator. Other times it results from having debris or zombie parts below the chassis. To get out of the mess, Spin to free yourself. This should immediately get you out. Also, if some of the wheels are in middair, use the same remedy. If these two methods have no effect you'll have to look at the condition of your machine. Is it smoking? Are the wheels in odd positions and fail to budge? Lastly, look at the status of the car in the above right corner of the screen. If your car's all healthy and on track it should be coloured a deep blue. Note that there are different parts and each one will be coloured differently according to its condition. Green tells us that the part is only mildly affected. Flashing red and yellow is a warning that those parts are severly troubled and need immediate repair. Also, smoke or even flames can be seen from the affected area. Lastly, if it's all pitch black, you're in serious trouble. At this point the vehicle should start blazing. This requires immediate repair. Having the engine black, the car won't run, explaining the cause of your problem. Repair at once or you are risking a very immediate wasteage. Or, consult your configured controls.~ >How can I beat the game?< will land you on the final special stage: Carpocalypse Now! which will test your Carma skill to the limits.~ >The mimimap is centered on the screen! Can I fix this?< ~Yes, anyone can and the solution is quite simple: hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and use the Arrow keys to redirect it, possibly to the lower-right corner where it does not obstruct the view. This often happens when you change the configurations in the window that pops up when Carma2 is started.~ >Should I buy this game?< ~Yes, it is remarkably good although not much challenging. This is a decision you should make and if you do not mind heavy carnage I suggest you make up your mind and get it. However, although it is very entertaining, it is really not a game you'd play for a long time unless you grow into it.~ >What is Carstockalypse and where can you get it?< ~Carstocklaypse is a little program whcih allows you to "attach" desired cars to your game. This means that user created cars can be played with after having attached them on, with this. Further information on the Add On cars section further in this FAQ.~ >Your cheats aren't working. Why?< ~This is because other keys can intervene with your typing, such as holding the Handbrake whilst typing them. Also, while in motion, they might not always work. A good way to ensure they all work is to find a lonely place inaccessible to other opponents which might bother you. Park your car there and let it stay motionless for a couple of seconds. Then, steadily type in the code without any pauses. Wait a second sor two and see what happens. If there is no result, try it again. (Remember: they work best when you're motionless or have no other actions whatsoever.) While some cheats might work, others may not. This is commonplace and is due to misspelt entries.~ >OK, I completed the mission. Now what?<
