GG's Monkey last night.

We actually had a good match on the Trenches map. I think, my first ever...

There was only about thirty seconds in the whole match where we didn't hold the top plateau. Even then, I hopped onto the nearest vent, rode it up and reclaimed it by 40'ing one opponent and headshotting the Wraith-noob ironically named 'HEAD_S_H_O_T_Z'...

Finished up 21-3 I think, with myself and Monkey taking the top two spots tied.. Although when the scorecard came up it dropped us to 2nd and 3rd for some reason, despite having much more XP than anyone else.

Random R2 fact: The auto-aim on the Marksman is ridiculous, you can hit people in the head as they fly through the air on the vents.

GGs to you too, Leo. We came, we saw, we got owned. But then we came back and owned some ourselves.
Just had a few more games in here a minute ago. Several funny things happened.
1. I counter jumped a wraith glitcher. I got a few carbine rounds in him and he went for the jump. So did I. My melee landed. +1 points for me. ^_^ I get more amusement out of that than I should, but it's probably because...
2. I played a game against a wraith clan of four and one sniper just before that. Orick, town. Had a good run for a couple minutes. Ninja's into the raised covered bridge and meleed the sniper. Saw three red dots heading for the bridge. Picked up his Fareye and set the sights on the only way into that bridge; the narrow staircase. Pop, Pop. Two down. As luck would have it, that was just enough to fill a certain berserk meter. Which was good cause the last guy came up the stairs with his shield up and the newly respawned sniper behind him. I made a run for it. Boom!
3. After that match I went to matchmaking again and guess who was there. Wraith clan! As the game started to load it their team mysteriously disappeared...
4. Someone messaged me after a different match. They said only, "Every time u kill me waz in the back". Wt?
Fun night.

The tourney begins in two weeks on the 12th of September, so be prepared. Message me with a time that works for you, between Friday and Sunday.

Just hit level 25 so I think I'll make it in time.

The other day I was getting totally owned by some Wraithers in sub docks. But I had one moment of swteetness. I'm up on one of those raised gantrys just in front of one of the airvents. A wraither comes round the corner from the central building and immediately puts up his shields. So, I lay a couple of magnum rounds at his feet and as he walks over them towards me I detonate them. Boom, 50 XP!, so now he's on half health. I can seem him thinking "WTF?! This isn't in the script!", so with his shields still up he runs at me, clearly intending to drop them just before he reaches and quick spin the barrels to land a killing blow. Idiot. About 2 ft in front of me he drops his shields so I mash that R3 button and Blam! Melee! 50 XP! Stunned Wraither dead. I giggle. A lot.

It's funnier to me cause I've thought that playing Soldier in Co-op. when a turret somehow hits me despite my full shield.

Im ready for some Chimera killing today.

(Also Stormtrooper killing, but thats for Star Wars)

Would this be for a coop tourney?

^ Yup. Starts on the 12th.

Ok, so I read that to get the OMFGBBQ (or whatever it's called) trophy all you need to do is complete the final chapter of the campaign on Superhuman. I have SH unlocked having done my first (and only) playthrough on Difficult. Question: how the heck do I jump to the last chapter? I cannot seem to select any levels at all beyond the first three scenes of the first level. I'm sure I managed to choose the Daedalus scene once before on SH (when I thought that's all you need to do to get the trophy) but I'll be jiggered if I can figure out how to do it now.

Help?

Select Campaign, then load level. Use the right directional button to scroll over to Chicxulub crater, Mexico. Select Hangar Bay, then select Super Human.

Right directional arrow. got it. thanks. Never thought of that -- just tried R1/L1.

Is Hangar Bay sufficient to get the BBQ trophy, or do you need to do the whole of Chixuxuxuxuxuxulub Crater?

The whole thing as far as I know.

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

Ok, here goes. I sat down after lunch to see if I couldn't bag me a OMGWTFBBQ trophy. I got preety straightforwardly to the start of the Daedals bit where you have to wait for him to have hissy fits as he rips the roofs off those rooms (though it took me a little while to kill both Titans as the first five times I didn't realise there was a LAARK lying on the ground ). Anyways, I'm doing ok, and then 'click' everything turns off. Power cut.

Comes on again about 40 mins later so I power up the PS3 to make sure it's all ok and squeeze in a couple of rounds before making dinner for the kids.

After both smaller kids in bed I restart the trophy attempt. 70 mins later, Hale attempts to stop a bullet with his forehead, and I get the trophy.

Question: as I really do find the Campaign tedious, is there a quick and easy way to get the remaining Campaign trophies that does not involve playing through the whole thing? I don't think I could bring myself to playing it through completely again. Once was bad enough.

Depends on which ones you still need. There are good places for each one.
Ex, If you still need to hunt spinners for the Snipe Hunt trophy, then Ratchet's guide can tell you which places to load from to find the most. Kill them. Then just reload and kill them again until you get thirty. Same basic idea for every trophy pretty much.
Which ones are you still missing? I'm sure someone *coughRatchetcough* can tell you which checkpoint to load to get them quickly.

PSH! Who needs to see the targets?

Just got two milestones on R2's Campaign.

First off, I just broke the 7 million XP barrier. Now Im only 3 million away from my 10,000,000 goal!
Secondly, I now have over 40,000 kills on Campaign. That's so much higher than I expected to have.
