Probably going to jump on U2 in a second. Hopefully I catch one of you guys on.

Gah Ratchet....you should have been on during the days while I was off sick....rawr.

Duuuude, it's ALL about the K/D ratio, the higher it is, the more of a man you are.

Going for the golden, sparkly treasure??
Thats a job for the girls, since OBVIOUSLY they can't shoot...

Going for the treasure is smart because a lot of people go for it, its just a matter of not picking the thing up, if you just protect the treasure bearer then you have some pretty easy skills, if you can get a few kills in that is. And what are you saying that people who pick up the treasure are girls for? I have seen plenty of high lvls pick the thing up to start/keep a chain going, myself included

Maybe Sir Sarcastic Reo was being sarcastic?

Welcome Turtle & Hollorr!
Enjoy your stay, nice that someone followed my link on PSN, feels good giving something back to the community.
Nice few rounds I got with you yesterday, Hollorr, you need to teach me some of that magic stuff

Hey all. This is my first post here - I was referred by one of ESRaistlin's videos. Anyway, I'm looking for a little bit of advice. Nothing incredibly detailed or intensive (which is why I didn't post this in Game Surgery; that, and I have no way of recording video), mind you. Just a couple of questions...

1. What's the best way to level up quickly?
2. What are the most useful boosters?
2b. What is the most useful combination of boosters?
3. Anyone wanna party up and kick some tail? My PSN is Turtlekid1 (sorry if I suck, I'm still in the process of improving my game).

1. Double Cash weekends with negatives on. (Though I suggest you to skip the level hunting and just take your time. Getting higher too fast and you might lack the experience needed when facing higher lvls, happened to me anyway )

2. The ones that suits your playstyle the most.

2b. See previous answer, find out how you play; which weapons you mostly use, what causes your deaths the most and work from there.
Then there's also the question if you should boost your positive aspects or try to boost the ones that are your weaknesses.

3. Anytime, buddy, just send a friend req and invite me whenever you see me on

Feel free to add me to guys! I should have some room after I delete some people who haven't been on for a month. Post lot's and enjoy your games!

Kind of hard to tell when someone is being sarcastic when you don't get access to their, body language, or know them very well

Thanks for the welcome, guys!

I have one more (probably stupid) question:

Does choosing the skeleton characters for their lack of voices give one all that much of an edge? I ask because while the skeleton characters are cool, I'd rather play as the awesomeness that is Victor Sullivan/Lieutenant Draza if it's all the same.

Well, the skeleton characters are silent and they are harder to shoot since they're so skinny. I use Marco polo as my hero since the Hero characters all grunt loudly when they jump and Platzor for my villian, I do prefer the skeletons though. Hoped that helped

@Turtle, your question was actually a great one! We were all discusing this a while back. I'm gonna hop on so if any body wants to play feel free to join!

Welcome Hollorr, and Turtle. Turtle, I'll get you a Friend Request, I'll be playing heavily this weekend chasing that last level.

There really is no best way to level up, you've really just gotta play. Plunder with the Deposit booster is probably your best bet, aside from Deathmatches. It'll get easier when you hit 51, and gain access to the Badges of Honor.

As for the best boosters, it's hard to say. I don't know how you play, your style, or your preferred weapons. Down the Irons/Fleet Foot is a pretty standard set-up, your AK will be more accurate while aimed, and you'll move faster while aiming.


As for the skins question, use whatever you like. Marco and Genghis are pretty widely regarded as the "best" skins for competitive play, they are silent, they're compact and are pretty hard to see sometimes. Skittle is incorrect though in telling you that they are more difficult to shoot, every model has the same hitbox.

Ya, I wasn't sure on that one endlo but it seems that way since they're all bonez and stuff.

I'm not a huge fan of the skeletons, maybe it is because I don't have Marco Polo yet, I started using the Coles today actually, silent and all of that stuff, finally got my Cold Blooded as well lol

Edit: Just bought the U2 soundtrack off of iTunes, so looking forward to going to sleep to that at some point, maybe when I am being a CIT because a bunch of 11 year olds cannot be hearing songs about death, sex, and destruction at freaking 10pm

Awesome, vrals, enjoy the soundtrack, it's incredible. And, no Marco? What don't you have completed?

The skeletons, and really, Donut Drake as well, do affect how a player aims sometimes. If that's another advantage you'd like to have, or maintain, then the skeletons are a great choice. As I mentioned before, Marco and Genghis are pretty widely regarded as the "best" skins. It really doesn't matter much, a bunch of us rock whatever, Knux and I love Elena, Vash rocks the fat man, Reo holds it down as Atoq, and we all do fine.

Getting my FAL skills back, I'm enjoying it. Working on my cornershooting, and working on shooting people behind cover. I'm struggling a little bit again with maps that push me out of my comfort zone. Ice Cave and Sanctuary are like pulling teeth, my performances there have been awful. My openings just aren't as good as they used to be, and I feel like I fail to build momentum.

Great games today guys. I had a lot of fun. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a while...

Guy: "13 kills and 1 stealth. I can live with that."
Kid: "I got a stealth too!"
Guy: "Yeah, and you got like 4 kills and 15 deaths!"

What followed was probably the best dramatizations I've ever heard.

Shortly after that, we had a game where all but one guy on the other team left. After quite a few deaths, he finally gave up and quit. I sent him a message...

Me: "Much respect on not leaving."
Player: "Your mom a respect."

To be honest...that's probably the worst insult I have ever heard.

The treasures in single player, at like 75, and then a bunch of the online trophies.

Me and Charlitos played a rank DM today on the Ice Cave, let me put it this way basically the ENTIRE enemy team was camping, there were a bunch of high lvls who were not using negatives and meanwhile there I was rocking Glass Jaw and Half Loaded, not sure what Charlitos was rolling, probably the same thing but idk, playing as Marco Polo would be awesome because I love history and he is a pretty big figure in world history, obvious because why else would ND put him in the single player story so much?

The soundtrack is awesome, parts of it I never heard during the single player game, most of it is named after chapters in the game, they also threw in Nate's theme, the one that is always playing when you first enter either game

I still feel bad for that kid. He was so proud of the stealth melee, and just...shot down. That story is gonna be hilarious forever though.

I like that the online trophies don't really matter for the plat. Go hunt down those treasures! Speaking of trophies, we'll get you that Survival one Neo, I promise!

Ahh, that kid. Funniest gaming moment I've ever had I also taught Endlo and Vash how to be god with a sniper rifle Too bad I had to go before that was an option

I will never be RatchetH22.

But he doesn't know how to jump/rape with the sniper rifle now does he?

Sweet, I love cheating with IGN, too lazy to be a real treasure hunter, lol, I have up to the village, without soldiers, completed, after that its like 1-4 left for each chapter

That's what I did
Um... no I will not explore every inch of this section, I have a life. Or as close to a life as a gamer can

Get to cover sir. You wouldn't want to lose your head...



***Edit: Finally got to Rank 52. I will now be using Invalid!

gratz Ratchet, show those wimps how its done!

I am starting to have a bit of a problem with this update, I was playing in a DM today and the difference in my lvl compared to the next highest lvl was like 10 lvls, there was like a 9 in this btw, and I though "OK I'll switch to invalid and not use double negatives" and before I could switch my half loaded out the two second mark came along

Thanks. I can't tell you how glad I am to finally be able to use a good negative booster. Can't wait to see how poorly I do tomorrow.

spoiler alert: you'll probably go .5:1 k/d lol
