[quote name='Ultimate Matt X']Well I cracked and bought this and should be playing later if anyone wants to play.[/quote]

let me know if you wanna co-op or multiplayer later...i'll be on...i'm only on act 1 in SP though, so if you wanna try coop, that'd be cool :)
 
[quote name='fraggedbylaggers']Yeah there is no reason not to get this game. I played all the way through casual not realizing that if you do hardcore you also unlock the casual acheivments too. Right now I am just starting act 3 on insane and man is it harder than hell. Luckily my friend is really good so I am not dying too much.[/QUOTE]

For real?

I think I'm going to restart on hardcore then, I haven't even finished Act 1.

I was pissed when I found out because I was already into act 4 at the time. Well Insane mode should keep me busy for at least tomorrow. I am speeding through this game like crazy!!!
 
Just finished this game on casual and I just realized what everyone else did, that you can unlock the casual achievements on hardcore difficulty. Well there's always tomorrow. I'm also up for any kind of matches tonight so send me an invite.
 
well my wife is being a gears nazi tonight. doesnt look liek ill be allowed to get back on. i will be on a LOT this weekend so if youre into playgin this game send me an invite because i will log ridiculous hours on this thing and id much rather play with cags.

feel free to send an invite or pm and ill try and send you one.

cheers!
 
damn, I'm already more than half way through casual, wish I would've known that about the achievments.


but whatever, I'm glad this game is short and awesome all the way through...I'll play it over and over again :D


anyone know what you unlock if you get all the dogtags?
 
Wow... is it just me, or do the enemies get smarter when you move up the difficulty chain?

I just restarted on Hardcore and the guys are so much smarter and faster than on Casual... can't wait to see what insane is like.
 
SO I tried Multiplayer for the first time today and 6 hours later i'm fuckING HOOKED. Its really fun. The chainsaw is a little annoying though, well only when i die from it :p
 
[quote name='RandyTsai']glad i didnt spend more then $35 on this game. the game is just blah. i don't understand how all you guys are so hyped about it.[/QUOTE]


as for single player-- it's just one big adrenaline rush, except for some parts where it's somewhat suspenseful. The regular action is really the best part...all the boss fights and "puzzles" just seem like they were kinda bit off from RE4, except they aren't as fun.
 
Pissed off at Circuit City.

Wouldn't allow me to us the 15% off coupon and get the free faceplate. That sucks considering i went there three straight days and had to get a faceplate put on hold from another circuit city.

I had the choice of 59.99 and the free faceplate, or to use the coupon. Guess which one i chose.
 
[quote name='AshesofWake']i haven't even touched casual after hearing it was too easy from Gamespot. Hardcore has been fun as hell.[/quote]

same...i started on hardcore
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Anyone have tips on getting perfect reloads? I tried for the longest time yesterday and I just can't unlock the "5 in a row" achievement but got the other one because of all the damn tries.[/QUOTE]

I switched guns after 2 or 3 perfect reloads so the bar gets bigger again.
 
[quote name='zewone']trying to get a CAG match going NOW. we need 3 more CAGs.

send me a friend request.[/QUOTE]

We'll play this weekend, honest, I got off to go to bed since I've got class tommorrow morning.
 
I was lucky and managed to get this on Tuesday, but I didn't play too much of it that day. Just about half of the first act and one match online. I liked it, but I wasn't very good at it (I didn't even know about the chainsaw being in the Lancer...). However, I started playing at about noon today, finished act 1, played a match online, got back on at 5 and played it for the past 7 hours (with a small break to watch The Office). This game is insane. I don't think I've ever had more fun in a game than chainsawing unsuspecting online opponents in half.

After finally egtting to play, i think the game is pretty tastey with a few exceptions -- namely the dumb-as-rocks squad AI and the inability to revive a teammate while you're in cover. Horrible.

um...just time it right, i guess...honestly, that was the second achievement i got after the tutorial one :lol: i got the 25 one shortly thereafter

it's really easy...just think of it as a golf meter in those golf minigames...the timing is so forgiving for perfect reloads

I completely agree with this. I can't fucking stand it when I am in cover and I have all three of my squadmates next to me and I can't save them. I also think the AI for this game doesn't live up to the hype. While the enemy AI is pretty solid, the neglected to make the companion AI worth a damn. I spend most of my time trying to complete the objective rather than saving their sorry asses since they will be revived once the objective is complete.
 
[quote name='RiCeBo1']$59.99 and the free faceplate[/QUOTE]

haha. Na i used the coupon. I would rather save the extra 10 bucks for a future drop in price of something.

I got the acheivement by accident not realizing that I got 5 perfects in a row...
 
I got the game tonight started playing around 6:00pm just stopped a moment ago, just can't stop playing but got to work in a few hours.....

I have a small family gathering tomorrow...thinking in not going, I have to unlock everything.......

Got a scare, after taking a small break for dinner got a message that Disc was Unreadable almost cry, got the disc and puffed some air to it put it back in, it work just fine, hopefully it will stay that way.

I just got to say this game is fun and at least for me the view is 100 times better than Halo, just hate the fact that even do I feel more capable of turning around still feel that the camera been to mi right left me a huge blind spot to my left, I have encountered foes that just past me and don't see me at all if I'm standing to close on their left side, don't consider this a flaw, but hey I still feel is better than HALO 2.

Please Invite me, I will be available to play tonight and then entire weekend.

C'ya
 
for the people complaining about the not being able to revive someone while covered. It makes perfect sense why they did what they did.

Think of it this way. 2 people covered right next to eachother. Basically one guy shoots, while the other one stays covered and keeps reviving him. This creates an invincible opponent. By removing yourself from cover you give a trade off. The risk of getting hit or killed and reviving your teammate. Or staying covered and planning out that killer shot and advantage.

The system of removing yourself from cover makes complete sense as a gameplay mechanic. This game is built around certain trade offs.
 
Companion AI sucks ass. in the 2nd Berserker Fight the idiot Dom just stood still the whole time. And at times he just stood and got his ass beat, making me fail the mission. And he does not respond to commands at all.
 
[quote name='elsnow77']someone who wants to play some co-op, add me.[/quote]Right now? I'm down, but I'm only in Act 3. I'll play though if you need help.

Even though this makes sense I still don't like it. I started off on harcore and am struggling through certain areas of the game because of this limitation.
 
[quote name='A Happy Panda']Does anyone else think that the chainsaw is overpowered in the MP?[/quote]

its a fucking chainsaw. its got one power....kill. you cant tone down a chainsaw.:roll:
 
Besides every weapon is balanced with a opposing tactic or weapon. Its been talked about before but if some jack off is moving in for a chainsaw A-button and back and then lay into him with some shots. He will be dead b4 he can rev it again.
 
Although I had to wait an extra day to get mine from cc it was worth it because they messed up and gave me a ce version instead of the regular one I had ordered. Finally a little karma coming back my way! :applause:

I will tell you what freaks me out is I will charge into a room and start looking around for bad guys and in my head I will think hey there is something wrong here, then I will note I have more guys in my squad then I should have and I will be damed but there will be an enemy among us and they are not shooting him and he isnt shooting us till I start to in on him. Its happened twice, and both times it freaked me out to see him standing right next to me and not fighting.
