The enemy chaser variant has a shield that must be destroyed before the vehicle can be destroyed. The vehicle can take three direct hits before it is destroyed, at which point a warning will be given to eject before the vehicle explodes.
Metal slug neo geo driver#
The vehicle can run over infantry and perform a suicide attack, with the driver jumping clear and the tank ramming into and exploding upon the target. The vehicle's bombs can also be replenished with ammunition boxes found along the way. The grenades remain independent of the cannon's ammunition system. Crouching opens a hatch on the top of the tank through which grenades already in the player's possession can be thrown. The tank is armed with one cannon which shoots powerful bombs in limited numbers, and twin vulcan cannons which shoot unlimited tracer bullets. It is a small, cartoonish silver-gray tank propelled by caterpillar treads. The SV-001 (SV being an abbreviation for "Super Vehicle") or 'Metal Slug' is the main vehicle of the Metal Slug franchise. The player is also equipped with grenades which can be used to throw at enemies and cause more damage, however the number of grenades is limited and must be replenished periodically with ammunition found along the way. A new system was implemented with Metal Slug 6 allowing players to carry and switch between the handgun and two other weapons. Similarly, when ammunition runs out, the player reverts to using the handgun, which has unlimited ammunition. When a new weapon is found, it replaces the previous one. The player can only use one weapon at a time. The player starts with only a simple semi-automatic handgun ( Metal Slug 6 and 7 used a fully automatic handgun in place of the stock semi auto first used in every game including spin off) as the game progresses, the player may pick up new weapons. This leads to the players ability to run in and use melee attacks to take down a number of enemies at once, as well as the ability to quickly defeat enemies that can take plenty of damage, such as the mummies in Metal Slug 2. The player's melee attack is also much stronger than most shots. In this series, however, contact results in the opportunity to perform a melee attack and the opportunity for the enemy to perform a melee attack of his own, if he has one. In most run and guns, contact with an enemy leads to damage. The run and gun pits a player against a large numbers of enemies with extremely powerful weapons pick-ups. The gameplay consists of run and gun elements as well as in later releases shoot 'em up mechanics. The games focus on the Peregrine Falcon Squad, a small group of soldiers who fight against a rebel army, aliens, zombies, mummies and various other forces intent on world domination. Originally created for Neo-Geo arcade machines hardware (MVS) and the Neo-Geo home game consoles (AES) hardware, the original games have also been ported to other consoles and mobile platforms throughout the years, with several later games created for various other platforms.
