how? not enough time and stuff

how? not enough time and stuff

"How?"      - - -           Land your CN's next to an enemy CN and build a nullifier. (Disarm it & wait to shoot the enemy CN)
"Not enough time" - - I know, right? I was hoping to eat some chips and the enemy died before I could open the bag.
"...and stuff"       - - -  You actually only need one nullifier. You don't need to collect the stuff. Not sure why.

Is there a way to make Sleepers not so vulnerable? I used to love sleeper maps but I simply can't seem to resist the urge to avoid all the building and stuff & just go for the kill. I'll try to play this map a second time and see if I can do it the slow way. But that's kinda like heating up a Pop Tart on the stove instead of just using the toaster.

When sleeper dies , it's code destroys all techs , shield keys and message capsules.

Ah ok, I figured it was something like that. Happened too quickly for me to notice  ;D

I find 99% of sleeper maps completely pointless and can all be killed way to easily. Check the top scoring 50 maps and try and find a sleeper!

I kinda agree. But "completely" pointless would be Sleeper maps like this - where you don't even have to play them. Insta-win maps are completely pointless, and if I were a map-maker I'd be frustrated to have spent all that time on a map that can be beaten with just a single nullifier. I don't think Sleeper maps were always that way (?) and I don't think it's the map-maker's fault, but I'm not sure about that either. Seems to be a common flaw in most newer Sleeper maps.

As far as how easy they are, yeah they're easy - but that's kinda fun in a way.  ;D

Personally, I like Sleeper maps so I hope Tardis and others keep making them - I just hope they get fixed so they're not so easy!
