Congrats man! Probably very tense!
Any tips on difficult spots you encountered?
Those videos you posted earlier of Dropeti are a great resource. The best way to learn a level is to watch a few sections of his play through and then go try to emulate it. I think at a high level the tips you need to use in every level are:
1) Memorize all enemy spawns. Don't let anyone get a drop on you and use cover if it's available. Dropeti is sick player and makes it look too easy sometimes, but don't get careless on the later chapters.
2) Memorize all painkiller locations. Dropeti misses a few here and there in his play through and those can make all the difference if you have time to get them (which you should). Keep your health at least above 75% and if you're hurt and have painkillers then use them manually. Last Man Standing = death.
3) Utilize bullet time efficiently and make sure to strafe left or right while in it to avoid damage. This is paramount in later chapters so practice it in the earlier ones in order to master it. Never ever go into shootdodge except for that one part in Ch 8 (Dropeti covers this in his videos).
4) Use the Beach Max skin for additional luck and swag bonuses (unconfirmed, but it worked for me and Dropeti anyways).
IMO, the hardest chapters in the game are 10, 13, and 14. Here's some tips I used:
Chapter 10 - The hardest part is the last section at the back of the bus. Watch how Dropeti takes out those three vehicles and copy that same pattern. Max out your bullet time, pop it, come out of cover and shoot a vehicle, then go back to cover and disable bullet time. Don't disable it before you go back to cover or you will take a lot of damage that is sometimes fatal. Use the same strategy to take out the remaining guys one at a time after most of the vehicles are destroyed.
Chapter 13 - Don't be a hero and try to use the grenade launcher or LAW (except to kill that vehicle). I had to use the grenade launcher on regular NYM in order to beat this chapter in under a minute, and it's a great strategy because you get so much ammo for it. However, don't even think about it on Hardcore. You will get hit by some enemy, go in to Last Man Standing, and die (true story).
Chapter 14 - Take your time here especially in the beginning. Watch how Dropeti clears out the first section and do exactly that. If you get off on the wrong foot here it can seriously put your play through in jeopardy and make sure to grab every pain killer in the terminal section(s). For the boss, memorize the times when he shoots grenades at you. It's possible for him to shoot only three grenades, but he shot more than that at me and I had to bail out from the cover you start with in the game on the fourth one.
Haha, damn, congrats!
That's some dedication right there.
Thanks bros.
nice I don't know if I should try this considering how extremely angry I would be if I'd die like at the last chapter or something like that. There is no way to continue if you fail right?
Correct. It took me about 7-8 times before I completed it successfully so the odds are you will probably rage more than once. Make sure you set aside at least four hours of real time in order to complete this.
