The Best On-Rails Levels In Video Games

Killing off fan favorites isn't exactly a new concept and shouldn't be a complete surprise, but every now and then, a beloved character unceremoniously meets their end right when the game's events seem to have just gotten started. Here are some fan-favorite video game characters that managed to win over everyone's hearts despite the short time they had in the spotli


Modern Warfare 3 's new partitioned plating process allows for other partial actions in between loading a second or third plate (such as finishing or starting a reload or taking off a gas mask), meaning players can rapidly reload and replate simultaneously after grabbing a can of Speed Cola. Especially for LMGs, launchers, or any weapon with a heavily extended magazine, speed cola is a must to offset reload times that could be fa

The JAK Cataclysm for the RPK slows down the weapon considerably, resulting in reduced mobility and a slower reload speed to boot. However, these drawbacks can be mitigated. With the equipment listed below, players will benefit from increased mobility through an extended Tactical Sprint duration and refresh time , as well as improved reload speeds . Additionally, faster weapon swap speeds and undetectability by enemy UAVs are also inclu


With a taste like fish and a bright blue bottle, Quick Revive is a staple of Zombies solo play, previously being able to grant solo players a limited number of self-revives. With Modern Warfare Zombies reworked approach to equipment and having self-revives available in the mission area (along with the total removal of solo play from Zombies), Quick Revive no longer grants players the ability to self-revive . Players will still benefit from increased health regeneration (and decreased delay until regeneration starts) along with a boost to self-revive use sp


Players should focus on quickly storming the beach and using the ascension line to reach the ledge where the snipers are posted - allowing players to flank and easily take the snipers down. Players can dart up the stairs to the roof over the resort pool from this ledge and grab another ascension line to the very top of the build


The tombstone's location will present itself to players at the start of the next deployment after dying with the perk active -- players can find a navigation indicator on the tac-map. Players will only have one game to reach the tombstone and acquire the lost goods, as the tombstone will disappear if not collected in the game immediately following the player's death with the perk. While players must reach the gravesite in the next following game if they wish to save any loot, they will have the full duration of that one deployment to access the grave site , so players do not need to rush straight to their tombstone after deployment, although it may be wise if large amounts of high tier loot were drop


Many of these linear action games featured one or two on-rails sections that robbed the player of their movement controls. While limiting, these sections allow developers to offer players impressive, dramatic set-pieces. These are just some of the best examp


One of these set pieces is an on-rails sequence that takes place in a mine cart. During this section, the player rides a train of mine carts down a long tunnel, which they can hop between freely, though they must remain inside. As the carts rumble down the track, several enemies are thrown at the player, leading to a hectic battle that ends in a dramatic leap of fa


This first JAK Cataclysm RPK build is tailored for Modern Warfare 3's Core Multiplayer. Running the attachments listed below aims to boost the weapon's aim-down-sight speed and sprint-to-fire speed , along with improving aiming stability for better accuracy . Though the resulting build is still rather sluggish, keeping it from becoming one of the FPS game news's meta weapons , the fast fire rate of this weapon can provide players with consistent one-shot eliminations for some satisfying kill cha


Having a Claymore or two to trap any enemies coming around a corner is one thing, but being able to cover an entire area with deadly proximity mines is what makes the Cluster Mine killstreak so downright powerful, especially in objective game modes. The mines are incredibly fast to throw down, making them ideal for tripping up any enemies who love racing around the map, and they also have a massive blast radius to b


This on-rails section is not only immersive but helps to ease the player into The New Order's action gameplay, right before dropping them into the thick of it. After the turret section is complete, the player soon finds themselves crash-landed on a beach battleground, where the real game beg


After loading into the Shepherd mission area (a sectioned-off area consisting of Levin Resorts), players will want to quickly depart from the drop helicopter , as the mercenary SAM sites nearby are preparing to fire. Drop to the beach below, and push up the beach through the mercenaries. Beware of the proximity mines scattered across the beach . If players head to the left after leaving the helicopter and approaching the beach, taking cover behind the stone structures, they can easily approach the base of the main resort building where the SAM missiles are located. There may be two or three mercenaries in this area, but if players stick to the left and travel through the concrete structures, they will easily avoid most conflict, with the biggest threat to players while on the beach being the snipers posted on the resort build
