Another purpose of BA is to observe UAC marines in combat against the captured "creatures" and the effectiveness of newly developed weaponry. Located on Mars, BA is the home away from home for a number of scientist, engineers, maintenance crews, medical staff and "pre-selected" Marines. The Battle Arena was built with the utmost care and precision using the latest technology. As always safety is the top priority at BA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p id="jqpa6"&gt;&lt;u id="jqpa7"&gt;BA Layout&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="jqpa8"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="ckdy0"&gt;01. Spawn Area&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="ckdy1"&gt;Is the purgatory before you choose your class and/or role in BA. There are 3 location spawns. The right teleporter locates the player at the front entrance of Battle Arena, this is the proper spawn for a normal employee in BA. The center teleports you straight into the base's control room. And the left one is for those brave enough to enter the Battle Arena itself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;02. Main Entrance Gate&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="ckdy3"&gt;A friendly welcoming site for employees to start the day, UAC sponsorship billboards remind who pays the bills. Employees are asked to politely follow the clearly marked Red Lines to prevent personnel traffic congestion and to avoid any confusion when leaving or arriving to BA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;03. Courtyard&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="v9nh1"&gt;Many employees enjoy lunch on benches near the beautifully crafted water fountain. This spot offers an area to socialize and enjoy break time without florescent lights overhead and enjoy the martian atmosphere. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="eiqz0"&gt;04. Main Entrance Elevator&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="eiqz1"&gt;Most traffic to and from BA goes through this elevator, please have your belongings together for the Security Checkpoint, and keep all weapons properly holstered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="d9wc0"&gt;05. Security Checkpoint&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="d9wc1"&gt;BA is a highly classified facility, security is of the utmost importance at all times. Employees will be scanned for any paraphernalia and any packages or bags will be x-rayed to ensure safety. Be sure to stop at the Security Desk and sign in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="d9wc2"&gt;06. Main Corridor&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy4"&gt;Is the main mode of transport to all rooms in the Central Command Area. All rooms have distinctive symbolic markers, be sure to take note of them from this manual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy5"&gt;07. SWAT Emergency Entrance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy7"&gt;You must have proper Security Clearance to enter, the red key card allows SWAT Teams to enter the BA and have direct access to the bases maintenance shafts. SWAT is to be called only in cases of emergency, they are armed with a shotgun where as standard BA employees are issued with only a pistol. Emergencies may include and are not limited too, a malfunction in the brig, creatures from the Arena make their way into the base, mutiny, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy8"&gt;08. SWAT Entrance Elevator&lt;/p&gt;The SWAT elevator is a high powered high speed lift, because in the case for SWAT members speed can be the difference between life and death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy10"&gt;09. Maintenance Shafts&lt;/p&gt;Are for BA technicians and engineers to keep BA running smoothly as possible. They allow access to every room in the complex, they can be used as shortcuts and escape routes in case of emergency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy12"&gt;10. Control Room&lt;/p&gt;The brain of BA, the Control Room is used to observe Marines vital signs, stress levels, damage % and weapon effectiveness against a diverse number of enemies, while battling in the Arena. It is also used to monitor power levels from Engineering, maintain security and call SWAT if necessary. On the back wall the the CR you will see 4 buttons, each controls the release switch to the Brig. It is to be used only if an employee gets stuck in a pen during feeding time. In the front of the CR is a Emergency Entrance drop for either marines, medical staff and SWAT. This is to be used if access to the Arena is either obstructed from the Arena elevators or for a quick insertion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy13"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy14"&gt;11. Biologial Research and Information Gathering (BRIG)&lt;/p&gt;The BRIG is used to study the "Pig" creatures and to ensure future populations for the Arena studies. Caution is to be used when opening any of the pens and remember these are not animals to be trifled with, they are both cunning and deadly. If containment is compromised SWAT is to be called immediately and all employees should evacuate the main corridors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy15"&gt;12. Armory&lt;br /&gt;The latest and most advanced weaponry can be found here, along with many older but still very effective weapons i.e. the double barrel shotgun &amp;amp; chainsaw. Here Marines preparing to enter the Arena can find Armor, Ammo, Maps and many many weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Med Bay&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="z-on0"&gt;Where all serious injuries and medical emergencies can be properly administered. Marine testing in the arena has proven to be more fatal then previously thought, but thanks to top notch surgical teams, testing in BA continues as marines are stitched up and ready to return to duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy17"&gt;14. Engineering&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy18"&gt;Where all the power is supplied to the rest of the arena, it must be constantly monitored via the control panels to maintain power to the base.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy19"&gt;15. Teleporter Room&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy21"&gt;The teleporter room is one example of using alien technology to serve our needs. It is fastest way of traveling around the base and allows marines and tech teams to beam directly into specific points in BA. However you must maintain caution when using the teleports, accidents can be prevented by making sure no one is standing on the platform on the other side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy22"&gt;16. Empty Room&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="jmk60"&gt;Meant for future expansion, rumors began circling that the UAC was building a mess hall here. However, due to budgetary limitations funding for this was cut. Employees are encouraged to bring their own meals. This is only temporary until funding returns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy24"&gt;17. Arena Elevators&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy25"&gt;The Arena Elevators are the main way of access to the Arena floor. Marines are encouraged to use these elevators unless danger prohibits access. Strong caution should be used, enemies have been known to gain access via the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy26"&gt;18. Arena&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy28"&gt;This is where a diverse and very dangerous amount of what some call "demons" "spawn of hell" and "monsters" are kept and studied. These test are vital to our continuing human survival, we must study how our weapons can most effectively destroy these enemies. Many good men have died to gather these "creatures" and it is the Battle Arena's duty to honor those men by doing our job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy29"&gt;19. Corner Bunks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy31"&gt;Are to be used as temporary sanctuary in the Arena, these bunkers are not to be used to stand off multiple attacks. Many marines have met their deaths from being swarmed by too many enemies. Access can be gained to all 4 bunkers from the teleporter room, but there is no return teleport, keep this in mind if you are entering the arena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy32"&gt;20. Main Bunker&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy34"&gt;Can be used to fend off many enemies, each window and entrance has shields to protect from enemy intrusion. In the center of the bunker there is a return teleporter and a med pack for any injured marines. Along the outside of the bunker there are shield down and up buttons so any marines stuck in the arena can still gain access to the main bunker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id="o6sy35"&gt;21. Emergency Exit&lt;/p&gt;Is the last resort to exit the Arena. If the entire base has been compromised you must make your way through the maintenance shaft to the Emergency Exit. This exit leads to the outside parameter from which you can make your escape in an orderly fashion to the front of the Battle Arena.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4179669570933263254-7585121866200548012?l=hippo-times.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hippo-times.blogspot.com/feeds/7585121866200548012/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4179669570933263254&amp;postID=7585121866200548012' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4179669570933263254/posts/default/7585121866200548012'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4179669570933263254/posts/default/7585121866200548012'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hippo-times.blogspot.com/2008/09/battle-arena-information.html' title='Battle Arena Information'/><author><name>CrankyHippo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16895840539873293741</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Fj2gu5nlW4/SNL251qcr5I/AAAAAAAAAGc/PK9csrgnPq0/S220/Hippo-Yawn.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
