I loved everything about the FoM campaign. One of my favourite levels was Manchester, where you attack in a wave down the hill going through row after row of terraced houses. That actually felt 'epic' to me. Regarding R2's checkpoints, I sometimes wonder whether they accidentally left in the ones they use for testing purposes and forgot to disable them for the release. There did seem to be rather a lot, every 10 feet or so in some cases. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I found the FoM campaign a lot harder too. I STILL haven't beaten it on Superhuman, but that's just because I'm lazy Some of the checkpoints I found quite frustrating, though. I can't recall the name of the level, but it's when you are moving up the hill with trenches and turret huts to destroy a mortor battery site. I died several times there, and even if I had gotten 8 or 9 minutes into the level, I would get caught by a turret and *poof* go back to the beginning

My favorite part of this whole game though is the Menial Beatdown. I'm sure everyone knows the part I'm talking about. Never has it been so satisfying hitting a hundred menials in the face with twin reapers

If ya want I'll write a mini-guide on Friday for the level you are talking about.

I beaten FoM superhuman! I did it the lazy way and did in in co op keep player two away from the fight and when player one dies you move up player2 but still keep him away from the action so player one can respawn closer to the meat grinder!

I always sappered those menials.
I'd build a huge freaking wall of blobs in the one elevator and barricade myself in, switch to the shotgun, and get ready to open some heads.

Pfft, the Reaper Beatdown is the way to go. Save on ammo

I found an awesome part to use the Sapper. Remember that part where you are somewhere (I am horrible with names) and you're going through the Chimeran complex, and then at the end you come upon a large, circular room, and when you open up the door to exit a Stalker come out all like RAWR IMMA EAT CHU?!

Well, all I did was threw up a wall of Sapper rounds along the entrance of the door, and the Stalker would walk into it, get knocked back, walk into it, get knocked back, again and again and again until it blew up Was an epic moment.

Nice!

That I would like to see.



I think I know the part you are talking about.
Its been so long.

Anyone up for a FoM party over the weekend?

Was thinking Saturday evening/night UK time due to time differences and the fact that most of us here don't go to bed until late Sunday morning lol, but could work something out for Sunday I guess.

Lol, nice edit Killy.

I see.
Sunday is the day I have open 100% and can get on early enough to catch ya guys.
But if youre all gonna be up late than it shouldnt matter which day for me.

If I can make it, Im there.

I can't go this Saturday because there's an astronomy event up at Caprica SFU so I probably won't be around.

Will someone play online with me so I know what everyone's talking about with these wonderful maps everyone seems to refer to so fondly? I keep trying to get into Ranked games but for me it's worse than trying to find games in R2.

Even if they're just unranked games, but with all the settings of ranked games.

look up mofo's psn name. he loves this game and taught me a lot, I'm sure he'll be happy to play

I cant now az but would if I could. If you are around tonight maybe?

Tonight seems to be a big family reunion with a lot of out of towners, so not tonight. Just sometime when a couple of people can get on would be great.

DP because I can.

I forgot how much fun this was. I finished a second playthrough (for the first time) and got to try out some of the new games I didn't see the first time around.

The Dragon is cool, although I'm not sure how to get the secondary to work. I like the green fire.
I don't like the Arc Charger. I just don't.
The Reapers remind me a lot of the Needlers of Halo - which do a lot better job.
The Splitter was meh.

For some reason I never tried the Hailstorm's secondary fire when I first got it, and I have no idea why because I doubt I'll ever use its primary fire again. It's just too awesome.

I think I freaked out a Stalker with the Hailstorm's secondary: I was going up a Chimeran tower and I had opened the door with two buttons and it came out. I shot the secondary behind it when it walked forward so the "turret" would hit the Stalker's power core. I think I got it confused it because I was in front of it and it was getting hit behind, so it kept on walking and fell of the ledge.

Oh. Well that was easier than I thought it would be.

Triple post because we want to get a big party together on Saturday. Jizzy's idea.

We want to see if we can get a 40-player map going. I guess we see if people can come on Saturday and if so when.

Saturday at what time? I may be able to get in on some of the old school fun

I'm off, if I have time to play Ill be there!!

I think the idea is to name times you're okay with and then to find something that tries to accommodate the most people. I don't have any times yet.

Real life doesn't give times, but I'll try to be on in the evening time.
