I forget the name, but I know the exact map you're talking about. Munky and I were doing the same thing, but the two dudes we were playing with were just outside standing in the middle of the street. We kept getting matched up with people who had mics, but were just playing music or some shit through them instead of talking.
I need to get with you guys sometime so we can try and hit that map up for 50... would be so easy on that map if people actually stayed put inside and didn't keep going out...

 
OK, so it looks like Stotch, Munky, and bestkeeper are playing AW on PS4. Would the four of us be enough to take on Exo Survival? I'm not sure when I'd be available (I'd prefer to plat The Evil Within first) and I still need to check if I have the mic that came with my PS4, but at least we could start coordinating.
You can only have 4, I think it would... then we would have to pick a good map with an area to defend... I know of two maps that I have played. One was the best had a room in the middle two entrances on both sides, and each entrance had the upgrades so you didn't have to go too far...

Full disclosure: I'm probably not going to "compete" in this month's trophy competition (assuming it's still on and Hungry Horde is still the game despite its slowdown/buggy-ness) since I want to focus on other games before Tales of Hearts R and Dragon Age: Inqusition later this month.

Problem for me guys is I don't play much at night anymore, mostly mornings... however wife is trying to go to Nebraska sometime this month for a week.  If that happens my goal would be to platinum COD during that week.  I can keep people updated and if it happens I can definitely join in, otherwise I am at the wims of my wife  ;)

You could do what I do when there's a game I really want to spend a couple nights/weekend playing:

Just put the idea in her head and keep talking about it. Sometimes she'll mention maybe wanting to go out to her mom's for a weekend and I'm always like yeah you should totally do that! You haven't seen her in a while, I'm sure she would love it. Plus you've been so busy it'll be good to get away.

 
Any map would work guys. Just make sure to max armor as your top priority, I even held points from earlier rounds to max it faster.

Try to have a good mix of light/heavy/balanced so you get constant uavs/turrets/goliaths.

Cloak and revive, cloak seems best/only useful ability.

Don't forget your launcher, I used Stun for when things got tricky.

Try to go for perks rather than killstreaks, but idk if you can tell which is which when drops come in. I go for hardline/weapons unlocked/overclocked/fast hands.

Any corner of map building with 2/3 entrances is great, just hold up inside/turret outside/etc.

You can do it! I need to get some teammates, all my clan moved to ps4, that's why i won't be doing too much mp on this...

Don't worry I always do it! This one especially, her Grandma has had cancer and is just finishing up chemo, this may be the last chance she gets to visit her until maybe the summer, so i said she should really try and make it work. She is leaning towards doing it, problem is her mom isn't sure if its next week, or the week after...

 
Oh no, guys. breakfuss has been victimized again.
Nah, the real victims here are the people suffering through chronic pain but have only the option to treat it with kidney and liver-destroying meds. Or the person here who unexpectedly became hospitalized and now could be strapped with thousands in usurious medical bills. No, asshole, these are the thread "victims", and these are the kinds of people my state legislature continues to work against. And that, ironically, is what my post was lamenting. But thank you (and others) for burying my point under more of your shitty jokes. Bait bait bait. Funny funny funny.

yea I figured all this, excited to try and use cloak as it sounds dominant if you can revive without being seen! might actually be able to hit 25 with randoms because of this.

The randoms I played with this morning had no idea what the mode was, kept asking when the zombies came, and had no ideas about upgrades. It was horrible. I finished second in kills because I hung out in the building like you were supposed to and killed as they came to me, got lucky on two rounds as the other 3 were downed and ended up killing everyone from a downed position while I was hidden.

 
Hmm, it's slightly less crisp than the PS4/PC version, and the filter is removed, but I wouldn't call it anywhere near blurry for me.
The main game seemed alright, it was the menus that didn't seem very crisp. Like extra pixely letters and edges. I mean it's been a while since I played it on Steam, but it looked off to me.

Oh it's probably just the pixel art throwing you off. It's much more noticeable in the menus

 
Armor is a godsend in eco survival. Saved my asses so many times. Highest I've gotten is 19 but I never bothered to use cloak or grenades. There is a really go hiding spot in the Mao with tide rising.

have you played it though? Its surprisingly really fun. My only gripe is that it has black screen bug that happens every now and then.
 
Yeah hit 48 in survival last night, if people knew what they were doing it would be easy. cloak/revive and upgrade your killstreaks. I had max armor/offensive and battery.

yeah cloak worked everytime. I had battery maxed at 5 and overclock but ya hit cloak and then enemies won't touch you and you can revive without any harm. I don't know why my 2 partners weren't using their abilities/launcher/killstreaks, lol, it would have helped if they did...

n yeah ps4 eventually, it's not a $ issue, it's a backlog issue.

Enjoy that COD:AW Bundle you get on Black Friday.

Yeah I'm buying it too.

Why was everyone battling me with Strength of the Sword though when that was a buck?
Correction: It's still a buck.

jkam: "Digital ALL THE WAY"

Everyone else: "Physical so you can sell/trade-in the game later."
I don't know. I got in on the $15 GCU deal as well. I did the math :whistle2:k and now it's a buy new games (which I rarely do) at BB [physical] for quick flips and still buy the cheap as shit PSN deals. I'm tempted to get Unity but don't think I could finish it fast enough to take advantage. ACIV has been taking me awhile to get through.

Gamestop is holding the value of The Evil Within and Advanced Warfare a month. I'd hazard a guess it does for Unity too.

All the Assassins creed games ARE way to long to do quick flips if you are trying to 100% the game.... But the GCU flip for next to nothing has gotten me a TON of games!! Would have never played Wolfenstein, Watch Dogs, Shadow of Mordor, Call of Duty AW, or NBA 2k15 without it.

You can put me down in the digital only camp. It's too difficult to finish a game quickly enough while the trade in value remains high. I have kids, who frequently destroy the box and manual once they get their hands on it.

And going to the store and dealing with employees who may or may not know about whatever trade in deal is going on that week is such a hassle it's not worth the $15 or whatever in savings.

Digital prices suck more often than not though. Physical is usually better even if you're just waiting for a price drop instead of doing what these guys are doing.

Don't you have places you can store your games to keep your kids from touching them?

 
El Swordo just commented in the PS4 thread that xbox is better because achievements are easier to get than trophies....  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

 
BB has Silent Hill: Book of Memories on clearance for $10.99. After GCU that's $8.79. That's tons better than the shitty PSN sale where it was $12 with PS+. I'd grab it but it's in-store only and none of the stores in my area have it. How the hell does that make sense? You'd think if they wanted to get rid of game copies they'd be willing to ship the store copies off.  :wall:

Ironically, I had no plan to enter in the contest this month but last night went on a Hungry Horde binge that netted me about a third of the trophies. I couldn't get comfortable enough to play anything on the tv.
 
I'm writing from a hospital bed. Currently I'm being a vampire and getting blood pumped into my veins. I know I don't post often and disappeared most of last month. The reason was I was having health issues and no idea why. I'll spare the gory details, but basically I lost a ton of blood recently. The doctors say a normal person is around a 10 or 12 for blood. I was under 5. It's no wonder I've been so exhausted. Not sure how I survived Extra Life. The irony is the money we raised is going to the hospital I'm in now. They're treating me good so thanks for everyone's support.
that's pretty bad. I'll presume you mean your Hgb (hemaglobin) was down to under 5? That's very serious (critical value) and good you're getting it checked out.

So were you having bleeding issues, or just red cell production/anemia issues? (I understand if you don't want to go into details)

Glad you're getting two units of blood, that should fix things up as long as they also address the underlying cause of the loss.

I work in a hospital blood blank and laboratory, and can try to answer any questions you might have.

 
Get well, Cleaner!  Let me add that comma in there, otherwise, I'm yelling at everyone to get well cleaner for no apparent reason.

I don't know, I think PSN's digital sales are pretty great. I've only spent $235 on 50 games this year. I'll admit for new releases physical is the way to go but for older titles (I'm ususally behind anyway due to backlog) prices are pretty good. Between that and PS+ it was what pushed me to go digital in the first place.

In general you have to wait much longer for retail releases to hit the $10 range digitally, to clarify what I was saying.

GTA V on PS4 has some exclusive controls... The touchpad if swiped up or down changes guns, left or right changes radio stations, phone calls and the sirens will come through the controllers speaker, and the lights on the controller will flash blue and red when wanted

 
I just got to wave 28 of Exo Survival on my own. It's actually super easy to do solo, it just takes a while. I would have gotten a lot further but my Goliath glitched on me. It said it was on the ground, but the pod wasn't there, so I couldnt enter it or charge up for a new one. 

Basically, go to any map, play as the heavy, get through the first couple waves if you can. Upgrade proficiency and armor as much as you can, I went until they started requiring 5 per level and then put them on hold for a little bit. While those were on hold, I bought rockets, ping, and trophy system for my Goliath.

Before you finish each round, you can leave one guy alive. You can use this time to just run around the map while your Goliath recharges. Once each round starts, deploy your Goliath and take out as many enemies as you can until you have just one remaining. Rinse and repeat. 

Like I said, it takes forever and it's a little boring. I played for an hour and 24 minutes and made it to round 28.

I think for me release dates in general have been lost on me at this point as I don't even always realize how old some of these titles are . I smell what you're cooking though.

Sounds easy enough, but probably easier will two or three skilled guys with Mics and then you do this method. I could imagine 50 would be easy if two people did this method with two goliaths

Great, so the PS4 controller will last 30 minutes before needing to recharge. :roll:
