Eh the last part was not that hard but what make me angry is Rico he just stands there getting shot and does nothing.

Use it. When higgs shoot at him, you shoot at them. ;)

You definitely want to keep Rico alive.

All right, that sounds doable. Time to fire this sucker up again. Thanks, man.

If I destroy my Trey within the next hour, I'm flipping the bill to Guerrilla.

I just did it, TTP is absolutely right, its the rollers that cause the most trouble. Using the rifle seemed like a joke before seeing as though every time I picked it up I got bullet raped. But focusing specifically on the rollers, grabbing their SMGs and getting lucky with the flanking Helghast. Radec is a nightmare when it gets to 1:1 but is nowhere near as tough as the second wave of flankers.

And I agree, FUCK Rico and his useless ass.

That fight would probably be less frustrating if he wasn't there at all. Sure, you'd have to take out maybe 1-2 more higs, but you wouldn't immediately think "Why the fuck didn't Rico do anything?!!" when you get flanked on the balcony. :p

What do I need to do in order to get zoom x5? I unlocked Spot & Mark as a second ability to use with another class and I thought that would do it.

10 sniper kills in a match, 8 times. I think.

You gotta get the ribbons for killing 10 people with a sniper rifle.

Edit: Beaten.

I don't like the Valor trophies one bit. They might as well call them the unemployed single guy trophies, since it seems the main requirement for getting them is simply spending countless hours online slowly building up points... You can have a terrible K/D ratio, never do any missions, and still get in the top 1% if you just sit in front of the tube long enough in a given week.
Not true at all. I work part-time and go to school full-time. I placed 1% from playing about four hours each night.

WHY even put that bastard in there in the first place?! It seems so right that he would've been used for co-op.

For KZ3 - CO-Op! CO-Op! CO-Op! No more useless A.I. for shits and giggles.

Some of my friends didn't want to buy it for the lack of co-op :/

How many points did you average per game? Which modes did you play most?

I can get about 50 - 60 points per game. It's going to probably take me closer to 40 hours. :lol

If you melee 10 guys with the pistol, will you get both the pistol and close combat ribbons?? or no?

I believe melee only counts as melee, no matter what gun. So I think that would only get you the close combat ribbon.

Well to be fair, this is my fourth time through the game. When I played originally on "Normal", I found that your buddies actually add to the immersion the game has. They aren't some valiantly invincible partner but living breathing (technically >.>) grunts, down in the dirt with you. Having to physically revive them, while occasionally annoying, adds to your bond with them, imo.

On Elite they aren't worth shit however.

I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone comment on the "EAT MY BULLEEEEEEETS!" line. :lol

Never heard that one... Though that reminded me of when in the final fight
Radec yelled "Make their flesh boil" and the flamethrower guys came down and immediately afterwards one actually said "I'm going to make your flesh boil" heheh

Is there any website that details the progression (classes, badges, XP points etc.)

Can we see our campaign stats online? What about multi-player stats?

is there a neogaf game up with FF on and no classes banned?

I usually create those. I have two setups saved: "WZ SMALL FF:ON" (8 players, small maps only) and "WZ LARGE FF:ON" (16 players, large/medium maps only). Both have autobalancing ON.

If you see one of those, join. Sadly, my kid is playing the Wheelman demo on the 360 right now.

Fuck, don't know how I don't see these, sounds the perfect setup.

Here's hoping he keep pretending his Vin Diesel. Nothing would please me more than to be playing KZ2 with you only to hear your child in the background screaming about how it doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile.

ok I have created "WZ LARGE FF:ON" (EU zone). My kid is playing at the moment tho. So be kind. I'll take the controller away from him in about 15 mins.

Ughh multiplayer is devolving into some bullshit and its annoying.

It has become a bit of a problem sometimes but sure it will even itself out in the longrun.
In the meantime, squad up with a few friends (or better still some friendly gaffers:D) and working together you can usually clean up the other team who are too busy getting involved in the spamfest.

Edit: Better still join some GAF games - they are fucking brutal but oh so much fun (when not gimped by missing classes)

Wait a sec, so I need 10 pistol kills in the round for sidearm specialist, right? I suppose I need to keep count, but I just had 22 kills in a pistol only match (granted, some kills were from grenades) but there was no way I got the majority of my kills from them, because I didn't receive the ribbon.

It's just driving me nuts.

Try to play pistol only games. It is worth it to farm because the revolver is like the most fun gun in the game. God I love it so much.

EDIT: Whoops, misread.

It's frustrating to see mindless spamming about multiplayer having issues without any specifics. Sure there are balancing tweaks (I can't name one multiplayer launch that didn't have such issues) but the majority of bitching seems to stem from the preferences of certain individuals.

My advice to people having issues would be to take a few minutes to filter out the server configs you don't enjoy and have a blast, there are plenty of servers out there.

Whom do you play with? Like any other team-based game, it's all about whom you play with and how good they are, you can't expect to play with a bunch of dummies and win objective games.

Agreed. I played about 2.5 hours each night and I work 60 hours a week and thought it would be impossible but I got in the top 1% last week. Try playing Body Count only maps once you get the medal for the bonus, it really helps.

It doesn't work, because he only has 1 or 2 enemies rushing him on the balcony at a time.

When I do the EXACT SAME SHIT as he does, I get 2 guys coming at me from both ends. You can't knife then when they're shooting you in the back. Like I said, the video is a total fluke.


When you zoom-in, there's a crosshair for certain weapons.

I used knife on elite.
At first I park behind the last set of cover at the end, take those guys out, the rolling dudes then enter through door from behind, I retreat back to the door where I entered. Basically once the door to the second floor opens up, I run around killing dudes first, then kill flame-thrower dudes. Grenade launcher some of them until they start trying to run up the stairs, then I knife dem as they come up, you have to make sure you don't get too overly aggressive in terms of trying to take too many of them with the knife, the rolling dudes will try to run up the stairs, grenade launcher them if you can, then take care of the rest with the knife, try to keep Rico alive and he will take some of them out, allowing you to run up to them one at a time, that is the key. The stairs on the left is the best place to hide, hide upstairs behind the wall, dodge the occasional grenade, you can thin them out patiently and then you'll be left with non-rolling dudes who like to stay downstairs whom you can pick off from the stairs and rocket launcher dudes whom you can also pick off one at a time. Radec is teh easy hurhurhur.

I posted some 3 paragraphs about just a few of the problems with the game that I have. Its no myth that the game has problems. It's not just playing with randoms either. There are some simple things that could be changed that would dead a lot of the bullshit quickly, a LOT of it to do with how the spawn grenades are handled. It wasnt so bad at first but now people are getting better. The people with the spawn grenades directly in the opposite teams spawn isn't so bad sometimes but the good teams that know the choke points out of the other teams base are.

4/5 games I played today, it was a constant fight for us to get out of the spawn. Other team would constantly drop spawn nades at just the right places with turrets, Snipers looked everywhere else and the game devolved into a retarded TDM. The only map its never really a problem on is Pyrrhus Rise and I wish it had more that big.
 
All this talk about how Assault or even Scout are unbalanced is goofy. Last night I played mostly as a medic and I killed several Assaults in direct one-on-one encounters. Sure, you have to have room to move--indoors is no place to confront explosives--and I died plenty too, but that's no reason to cry foul. With a few focused people in concert, you can hold off several Assaults at once.

And Scouts are even easier. I took my share of headshots, of course, but think carefully, move cautiously, and you can sneak up on and eliminate sniper nests, even against multiple snipers sometimes. Or you can just countersnipe from all the way across Pyrrhus Rise with an M82. I don't think they were expecting that. :D

The only real problem with Assault is that they're far, far too useful in Search and Retrieve. The other situation where they're bad is an objective spawn in S&D or C&H, but that *can* be counteracted. Just take out the spawn grenade before it pops. You may get killed while shooting up the ground, but take one for the team.
