any pursuing cops will cease to pursue. Try pissing on one for a
good laugh.
NAME: Pizza
OVERALL: ***
>> This is a healing item. Gives about 10 health points. Somewhat
uncommon, but a useful food item.
NAME: Treat Bag
OVERALL: ***
>> Another healing item that yields anywhere from 5-10 healing
points. Somewhat common and very tasty.
NAME: Health Pipe
OVERALL: ****
>> This is a healing item that instantly shoots your health up
to 125. After a few minutes though, you will lose a % of your
health due to the addicting effects. The loss of health gets worse
and worse if you continue to smoke more and more of these crack
pipes. These are pretty common throughout the game, and pretty
much necessary to replenish health in most situations.
NAME: Map
OVERALL: *****
>> This is the only way to view the map of Paradise, so you know
where the hell you're going. A practical necessity as everything
is marked on it.
NAME: Newspaper
OVERALL: **
>> Pointless headlines that tell you what's going on. If you actually
read some of the headlines, they pertain to special events
happening at some of the buildings in town.
NAME: Dog Treats
OVERALL: ***
>> When you drop a dog treat, the dog will follow you and attack
anyone who tries to fight you. Only useful in a handful amount of
situations.
NAME: Catnip
OVERALL: ****
>> Attracts cats to your location. Cats can be equipped to the nose
of your shotgun to increase damage and accuracy. If you consume
this product, everything will be in slow motion except your own
movements.
NAME: Fish Finder
OVERALL: *****
>> The only way to activate in-game radar of any sort. Gradually
decreases the item amount the longer it is turned on. Shows
surrounding enemies (red), civilians (white), or fleeing people
(yellow).
NAME: Largemouth Bass Plug-In
OVERALL: *****
>> This is discovered in one of the second-floor trainyard offices.
This item marks police officers on the Fish Finder radar with
unique icons. Very neat item.

- 5) Multiplayer -
======================
One of the new features of Postal 2: Share the Pain is multiplayer.
Unfortunately, multiplayer for this game is not too popular, so strategies will
be limited. I will try my best to explain the game modes, maps, and any
possible tips to success.
@@> CONNECTING <@@
------------------
A new patch called 1409 was released for Postal 2: StP. You can download it
at:
www.gopostal.com
www.postalnetwork.org
- This patch adds a multiplayer map, and optimizes the game even further.
Patch is approximately 16MB.
- If you are interested in downloading MODS or new MAPS for Postal 2: StP,
please visit:
http://www.postalnetwork.org/
- There are a few user-created maps/mods out there thanks to the in-game
editor. The in-game editor allows you to easily construct maps in a 3D-based
environment, and it comes with Postal 2: StP. You can find it under the
START Menu, for the game listing.
___________
/Game Modes/
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Thankfully, Share the Pain adds 2 new game modes to multiplayer, one of which
happens to be somewhat intriguing (if you like snatching women). This section
will describe the game mode types and their objectives.
)0)> DEATHMATCH <(0(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This game mode is pretty simple. Have the best score at the end of the round
with the most kills, and you win. Can be played against humans or with bots
or both.
)0)> TEAM DEATHMATCH <(0(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same as above except there are teams. Total team score is assumed by adding
total kills and total deaths. There are only teams, red or blue. Team names
can be switched.
)0)> SNATCH <(0(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a team-based objective game mode. Each team has a postal babe which
they must protect. The other team must snatch the postal babe of the other
team, and bring them back to their bedroom to score a point. One who
"scores" the most wins, hehe. Team names can be switched.
>>NOTE: In snatch mode, you must have your babe at your own base, in
conjunction with theirs to cap a score.
)0)> GRAB <(0(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a deathmatch-based mode where the goal is to collect the most
bags. 10 bags are dispersed randomly on the level. First player to collect
the most bags once all 10 bags are collected wins. You get 25% stronger with
each collected bag, so it helps motivate to collect them.
_____
/Maps/
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
There are 3 maps which are only compatible with Snatch mode. The rest are
compatible with Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, or Grab mode.
**> Asylum <**
..............
Size: 4-10 Players
Rating: ***
>: The Asylum is a darker styled map with hospital style floors and
lots of old decayed rooms. The depth of level thrives off of a large
semi-circular room stacked with crates and four adjoining halls.
You'll find most of the power weapons set off from the main combat
zone, but it does provide a somewhat flankable battle.
**> Boneyard <**
................
Size: 4-8 Players
Rating: ****
>: This is one of the better maps as there is a large yellow haze that
covers most of the background along with side flanks, or a neutral
route down the valley. The map goes in a giant oval but has many
ambush points and long ranges for potential snipers or good shots.
**> Cemetery <**
................
Size: 2-3 Players
Rating: **
>: This map is sort of one-sided. Features a small cemetery with lots
of gravestones and a center wooden bridge. However, most of the action
is pretty linear. Just typical action where you constantly bunnyhop or
seek cover behind a railing. In terms of locating the weapons, good
luck. Map is too repetitive. There is a giant rocket launcher in the
center of the map on the wooden bridge.
**> Ice Hole <**
................
Size: 6-10 Players
Rating: ***
>: One of the few hill-based maps - the entire town is built on a couple
snowy hills. You'll find the key advantage when you reach the roof
areas and have access to a sniper rifle. Map works best with near
maximum # of players.
**> Intifada <** ^SNATCH ONLY^
................
Size: 6-10 Players
Rating: ***
>: A castle-based map with mirrored images on both sides. You'll find
that the castle area has about 3 stories to it, with side flanking
doors on both side. There is an underground cove that runs underneath
both bases, and bedrooms stocked with tons of weapons & health. The
bed chambers are right in the main church area.
**> Meat World <**
..................
Size: 5-8 Players
Rating: *
>: One of the more disappointing maps in my opinion. Very squarish, only
two levels, and most of the rooms battles are way too linear. Grenade
and molotov cocktail spamming is a major problem from the second
floor.
**> Monsoon <**
...............
Size: 4-10 Players
Rating: *****
>: One of my favorite maps. Features an underground sewer with rain
effects, and several buildings scattered around a few streets. The
ornamental design makes it so that you can't rape with thrown
projectiles, and getting the desirable weapons are put in balanced
locations.
**> Napalm <**
..............
Size: 3-6 Players
Rating: *****
>: Truly an awesome map. It takes place inside a partially destroyed
napalm factory where there is a giant pit in the middle that leads to
your death. If you drop down but land on the low pipe, you can get a
rocket launcher. There are a few side brick tunnels, along with lava
environment areas here and there. You can even reach the roof. Great
map that works for all player amounts.
**> Piquant <**
...............
Size: 5-8 Players
Rating: ***
>: This map reminds me a lot of Ice Hole, except it's in a heated
environment. You'll see a lot of similarities between the two. Go to
the roof for the rocket launcher, along with any other weaponry that's
needed. Avoid worthless flat street battles.
**> Ponderous <** ^SNATCH ONLY^
.................
Size: 8-14 Players
Rating: ***
>: It's basically a mirror image of two isolated compounds separated by
some canyonous terrain and a few wooden bridges. You can flank under
the bridge and up to the side of the house, or with a frontal assault.
The bed is located on the house balcony.
**> Shantytown <**
..................
Size: 5-10 Players
Rating: ****
>: Another interesting design that can provide some intense battles. This
ie one of the few WIDE OPEN maps you'll find in Postal 2, and it can
provide lots of sniping fun. Check the top of the train carts on the
broken bridge for molotov cocktails and projectiles.
**> Splinter Foundry <** ^SNATCH ONLY^
........................
Size: 8-16 Players
Rating: ****
>: One of the largest maps you'll find out there. This map is setup in
the night between two large complexes out in the forest/canyons. Both
complexes have multiple angled roofs, and narrow planks lead from
location to location. Most of the solid weaponry is up above, however,
most of the great flanking routes are down below where they are
concealed from enemy fire. It's a matter of balancing principles.
