1 WHAT IS REQUIEM: AVENGING ANGEL?

From the manual:
The Lord looked upon what He had wrought, and saw that His
creation was good. And yet...

And yet, the Host of Heaven saw that the Lord was
dissatisfied. This grand experiment housed not all He
would have wished. The angels looked down, and saw that
His experiment as fraught with greed, corruption, and
stupidity. The "noble beast" with which the Lord had
populated the planet was caught in a degrading spiral of
covetousness; ever wanting that which their creator would
not--indeed, could not--grace them.

And so, the Host of Heaven began to plot. This
dissatisfaction that the angels sensed within the Lord
split them into factions. While some would look to the
wisdom of the Lord for guidance and reassurance, others
would presume to interpret His desires...

The time, reckoned in human years, is midway through the
21st century. Humankind stands poised on the brink of
intergalactic exploration and travel. An interstellar
ship, Leviathan, nears completion. With its launch,
humanity will spread itself among the stars, and the
heavens themselves will be within the grasp of this
"misguided" race.

Without the Lord's consent, certain angels among the Host
have taken it upon themselves to bring about the end of
human life. In the process of executing this goal, they
have become dark, sadistic, and power-mad. They have
become the Fallen.

Not long ago, the Fallen, led by a desperate angel named
Lilith, descended to Creation through the netherworld of
Chaos, and cloaked themselves in human form. Though they
are not almighty, they still possess heavenly powers.
They
have used these powers to take over the will of an entire
government and its army of soldiers. These possessed
leaders and their armies do the Fallen's bidding, without
any awareness that they have been overtaken.

The Fallen ready themselves for the end of the world.

Armageddon lies close at hand.

But the Fallen are not without opposition. You are
Malachi, one of the Lord's chosen. You must travel to
Earth to stop the Fallen from succeeding in their
destructive quest. If you cannot stop what the fallen are
attempting, the Lord will have no choice but to instigate
Armageddon Himself, thus fulfilling the plan of the
Fallen. You must not allow that to happen.

The path from Heaven to Earth is treacherous, however, you
must travel through the realm of Chaos before arriving
upon Earth. This passage is one of the most difficult for
any angel to make, for you will arrive in Chaos stripped
of most of your angelic powers. You must build your
reserves for the battle ahead, for only you can offer hope
for Creation.

1.1WHAT'S SO DAMN (heh.) SPECIAL ABOUT REQUIEM?

Well....

- You're an angel. With guns. Big guns.
- You're an angel. With powers. Cool powers. Lotsa powers.
- The system requirements are lower than most new FPS games.
The system req's on the box are "Pentium 166 (200
recommended), 32 megs RAM, 4x CD-ROM, and 116 megs HD space
(275 recommended)." And of course, a 3D accelerator card
(preferably with 3dfx support).
- Smooth engine (compared to Q2, the LithTech engine, and
Unreal)
- Detailed engine. (Faces are clearer than Q2, walls more
legible than Q2 and LithTech)
- Intriguing plotline.
- Detailed Gothic game world
- Cool Angelic powers.
- Cheesy voice acting (for you Resident Evil freaks :)
- Freaky-ass monsters.
- $20 rebate (for us canadians, that's about $30). 'nuff said.
And that's only single-player mode. Anyone want to
gush about multiplayer?

=====================================================================
2.0CHARACTERS (spoiler-free)

MALACHI: Mal is your typical Biblical angel, except for the
fact that he's exchanged his flaming sword for an assault
rifle, curses ("Jesus Christ!" "They don't even f---ing
work.") and probably gets the girl in the end. (Actually, he
doesn't. Wow.) He's also your typical FPS protagonist who can
carry seven weapons and ammo and not slow down one bit. He's
cool, but not as cool as Duke Nukem, or BLOOD's Caleb.

LILITH: Leader of the Fallen on Creation (Earth). A demoness
with alabaster skin, blood red nipples, and an abhorrence for
clothing and Malachi. Not someone with whom you would want to
f---.

LUCIFER: The angel who instigated the schism and leader of the
Fallen. More commonly known as Satan and The Devil. Likes:
Demonic laughter, destroying humanity. Dislikes: Angels, God,
CSYHWH.

AARON: Your predecessor, sent to Creation to stop the Fallen.
He has gone missing. Part of your mission is to find out what
happened to him.

JONAH: Owner of Jonah's Bar. Your first contact in the
rebellion.

ELIJAH: (pronounced Eh-LEE-jah.): A member of the rebellion,
and more than likely your romantic interest(ew. Last time
angels had "romantic interests" they made giants named
Nephilim. Check it out in Genesis 6.)

LEADER (actual name unknown): The Leader of the Resistance
(duh.) He's the guy who sends you out on missions. Killing
him is a bad thing.

(more to come.)

2.1ENEMIES/MONSTERS

2.1.1HUMAN FOES (under the control of the Fallen):
[next update: AI info]

NOTES ON HUMAN FOES: These guys apparently went to the
BLOOD/BLOOD II school of firearms. On Purgatory
difficulty setting, their aim is practically flawless. If
you're visible for more than half a second, you'll be
shot.

LIGHT SOLDIER: "Armed with assault rifles, pistols and
grenades, these soldiers are found on the streets of New
Damascus, where they are able to harass and shoot
civilians with impunity. Their main functions are to
patrol the streets, enforcing curfew, and round up the
bodies of those who defy the curfew. In many areas,
though, they won't attack unless provoked."

COMMENTS: A shot or two to the head with the pistol or
assault gun is enough to bring these guys down.

POLICE/PRISON GUARD: "Found in the prison, these security
guards ruthlessly torture rebels and innocents alike.
They react to any breach in security with prejudicial
force. Their black and silver uniforms were specifically
designed to subliminally provoke fear in their victims."

COMMENTS: "Subliminally provoke fear"??? Uniform be
damned, I'd be scared of the big-ass gun he's got! Again,
dispatch the bastich with a few shots to the head.

LEVIATHAN SECURITY: "As the security force on the
Leviathan, these elite troops are dressed in the blue and
gold livery of the world government force. They patrol
the colony ship with heavy weapons and a sharp eye for
trouble, and are assisted by the cyborgs known as
Mandroids."

COMMENTS: Three guesses as to how to kill them.

MEDIUM ARMORED SOLDIER: "Covered in body armour with a
drop-visor helmet, the Medium Soldier can take quite a
beating. Equipped with a variety of weapons, this type of
soldier can dish out a punishment worthy of the third
level of Hell."

COMMENTS: 3rd level of Hell? I dunno... the 3rd level's
pretty tough. I've had to re-load my saved game seven
times before getting through the first two rooms.
Anyways, these guys are much tougher than the light
soldiers. Their bodies are heavily armoured, so one or
two shots to the head won't cut it. Try a dozen or so.
