    best horde map I've played so far is Statis, we got to 37 with four of us before it just got to be too much.

    1 dude guarding the left side, two on the right and myself up top to keep them from spawning behind us and we were nearly perfect. But damn tickers hurt a lot once they get that x2 damage bonus.

    The other really fun one we did was an outdoor one in some city streets with a giant emergence hole in it. I wish I could remember the name but there's two catwalks on either side that were pretty easy to hold up on. Though the ammo was tricky to get in the later waves.

    Day One

    we got up to 40 on that one, we had four of us
    two on each of the catwalks

    it became insane, the guys that ride the things would just rush
    me and my buddy lasted far longer up there then we should have

    It kind of cheapens the experience but if you plant shields in the right spots on the catwalks the bigger enemies cant get through to you.

    Well at least until one of them decides to kick it over, the first time that happened my ear was assaulted with a string of "fuck shit what the fuck were did he come from."

    ahh yeah I tend to start with the Hammer Burst and pick up the bow as soon as I can. Popping a Locusts head off before the arrow explodes is not nearly as satisfying as I wish it was.

    Normally one or two of us go with the lancer and we just make sure we split them up, lancer up front hamer burst in the back seems to be working for us.

    Also I have my gold plated Hammer Burst and it looks so terrible so I have to use it every match.

    I skipped out on the LE so I've only got the Hammer Burst. I'm really wishing I could chainsaw people with a golden Lancer though.

    Those codes are going for 40+ bucks on eBay. The LE practically pays for itself. Too bad I used mine.

    The easiest to hold by far is Security with it's laser gates and narrow corridors leading to the laser gates. You can mine the corridors and the power weapons always spawn inside the gates.

    It personifies the concept behind Horde. Thousands throwing themselves against a fixed position. It just doesn't feel right on any other map.

    We actually did play Security and it was really good. Statis is just whats sticking out in my mind as my favorite so far.

    We also did Avalanche and it was pretty cool, we perched up on the incline to the left of the starting point. It was nice because it had the same feel as Security but the fact that we had no roof made it seem more open and intense.

    I was really disappointed (Chapter 1ish spoiler)
    when I realized that the entire section from when you see Landown to when you shoot that Brumak at the very end, is scripted. At one point two drones get on the rig but otherwise every single thing plays out exactly the same and you have no ability to affect anything. The gunplay is still super fun but this was disappointing. BIGGER, MORE BADASS, LESS INTERACTIVE

    it gets progressively more interactive and awesome

    also, i like how the torque bow now lighst up when you have the reticule on a dude but i still can't shoot it

    there's hardly any ammo and you have to shoot it at a certain time or whoops

    I have yet to find the torque bow. Also, am I a fool for wanting to always carry the Lancer? Chels carries the hammerburst more often then not and I'm with the lancer.

    I do so love the Boltok Pistol though.

    No shit.

    If they get that close I generally try to switch to the Boltok or the shotgun.

    the explosion also does radial damage, you can stick an arrow next to them or on a wall above them and it can knock them down
