Nah, it's not that detailed. Btw, what's the difference between hypoxia and asphyxia?

Nuts. I was gonna rush out and buy it if it was. That almost became my dream game asphyxia is an advanced form of hypoxia, right Adrian ?

Yeah. They change with each level.

Nope. Asphyxia refers to failure of gas exchange, leading to reduced oxygen supply and increased CO2 levels while hypoxia refers to reduced oxygen supply to the tissues.

Er.. can you put that in a sort of layman's terms ? let me see if I can get this straight.. hypoxia is a sort of illness.. but aspyhxia is not. How does this sound ?

Blah.. do I have to open a new topic ? this is fun plus it's educational

No debate as to the definition now: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Asphyxia

And yes, back on topic. I'm in the city now and fighting with a team. The AI are great - hide behind walls, etc. I bet I'm 75% done with the game. No idea, just a guess though.
