    You don't have to be all-star to play in an amateur league, so don't let that discourage anyone. Often times you'll lose a lot, but get much better in the process, to the point where you can hang with everyone in clan matches.

    So is anyone else interested?

    I have to admit, as soon as I became self sufficient as a spec-ops, I became a total asshole as well.

    Fuck soldiers who won't stand still, fuck medics who refuse to heal, I'm just going to stand miles away, snipe, and chuck my ammo boxes off a cliff rather than give them to you wastes of oxygen.

    If you're willing to resist the temptation to strafe as a soldier, or dps with chloroform and grenades as a medic, you'll see more ammo and grenade boxes than you can cope with, but cross me... and you'll be crawling on the floor looking for shell casings, while chimera punch you to death.

    I AM SPEC-OPS, HEAR ME ROAR!


    Ironically, I'm a douchebag as a medic too, I managed 45k xp and 150 kills on axbridge just now, I'm not sure I healed anyone =/

    Man how do you get that kind of exp without healing anyone. I love it when I have a team thats operating in clusters and I can get 500 xp off a single cure and fill my chloroform guage again. Honestly I use it more for crowd controll. Cause when you have a soldier spec ops team working well together the only thing that can realy stop you is melee attacks.

    I think I must have healed people, but all I remember doing is chloroforming and chucking hedgehog and airfuel grenades around. Axbridge is just designed for AOE damage, massive clusters of grims round every corner =D

    Just completed this. I have a few nit picks. But overall, really enjoyed the campaign.

    (Endgame Spoilers)
    Loved the ending cutscene. Was genuinely shocked. One thing i didn't understand about the whole end scenario. Why didn't Capelli just leave Hale to die. I thought the plan was, once Hale had done his job, hes as good as dead. Did Capelli need Hale to pilot the craft perhaps?

    Hey all, I just got this through gamefly and I've been *THOROUGHLY* enjoying both types of multiplayer. I'd really like to play a lot more of it and with some friendly PA people :)

    PSN Tag: K1ng_Awesome

    And yes, I have a mic :)

    I'm down for some coop or competative. I'll be on sporadically during the holiday weeks, but after that I really want to plow through some mulitplayer goodness.

    EDIT:

    Also, in competitive I've just been using the carbine since it seemed like the easiest entry level gun for someone familiar with shooters. I've been doing fine with it but want to try to start trying out the other weapons. But everything else seems really... weak? compared to the carbine. I tried the bullseye for example, couldn't kill people as fast as I could with a carbine, and I could never seem to get the alternate fire thing to hit people. The marksman seemed good for me, someone who uses the carbine in CoD4 with much success, and it was def pretty powerful, and headshots were awesome with it, but as soon as anyone saw me and wasn't far away, they'd rush at me and I couldn't hit them with it for some reason. Any suggestions on other guns and how to properly use them?

    As for guns depends on the game what I usualy take with me. TDM usualy Carbine. Core controll either carbine rossmore or wraith if I'm doing defence. Skirmish I usualy take wraith but while that gun does chew up opponents fast the spin up and reload times can be killer, also for some reason in competitive mode you cant shoot with the sheild up.

    As someone who has no headset, and no real friends on PSN (lol) - though one of my co-op buddies may jump into PS3land soon - is this game worth 40 bucks for the co-op ALONE? I really enjoyed the beta, but the lack of a significant friendslist/headset, as well as worries about the challenge with no difficulty levels and these talks about grinding and what seems like a fairly small number of co-op maps, make me hold back a bit.

    Realy the majority of the grinding happens on Orrick cause of the high rate of greytech acumulation. The Co-Op can get tiresome sometimes, but thats why there is competitive play. Though it does get frustrating getting oneshotted by level 15 guys running around with the larrk. The single player is good too.

    In short for co-op alone in my opinion no the games not worth it. As a whole package, yeah it's almost orange box level of value.

    Weapon question. Is the bullseye a good weapon to use? I seem to get killed by it alot but whenever I try to use it I get alot less kills than using the carbine or wraith, and I can never seem to get the alternate fire to land.

    I do... but found that most people's headsets sound awful and I can't understand them anyway. Once in a while in Co-Op it's been useful and I remember only one time in competitive where my squad was talking and so was I and we were actually working together.

    The bullseye's effective range without the tag is a bit smaller than the carbine's. However, carbine vs. bullseye the bullseye almost always wins, in my experience. If you an get good at tagging the bullseye is awesome, but the carbine is better because of those cheap ass grenades. In fact, the carbine is pretty much the best weapon in the game cuz of those things.

    Okay, Twin Falls: Idaho is really pissing me off. How in hell am I supposed to deal with these running zombie bastards. They surround me within seconds and I'm dead.

    Edit: Got through, but damn they're annoying. I ended up backpedaling through most of previous areas in order to kill 'em.

    Also, goddamn this game is epic. I'm liking it mostly more than the first one's single player campaign. That's mostly because it's more varied and the enemies just get really cool. I do wish, though, that they had kept the narrative more consistent with the first game. It'd really help to have those nice intros with the cool british voice telling you what the fuck's going on, both with you and with the rest of the war. That would have been nice.

    yeah I definitely like the narative better in the first one, but man everything else just feels better in this one. The game is just more fun in my opinion. the coop is epic, and the single player campaign is really damn good and the multiplayer is good fun. I definitely see Killzone being the better game, but damn this is much better than a lot of people give it credit for.

    Yeah, it is pretty freaking awesome. I'm fighting the Leviathan in Chicago now, and it's just amazing.

    Even with that, though, I probably wouldn't have this game right now if it weren't a christmas gift if only for the fact that there's no co op in the main campaign. That still pisses me off beyond belief, and I have some friends, too, that would own the game right now if it had 2 player main campaign co op.

    Yeah, I didn't realize the coop wasn't actually story coop until after I bought it. I was so pissed, but couldn't really return it. Despite liking the game quite a bit, I wouldn't have ever bought it knowing there was no real coop.

    And don't give me shit about there being coop. Coop mission don't count, I want coop story, like the first one.

    Does anyone have any decent pointers for someone just starting out in multiplayer? Preferred loadouts etc?

    I've played a decent amount of multiplayer Halo 3 but beyond that I'd have to go back to Duke Nukem 3D for my exposure to online FPS titles. I haven't spent more than 30 minutes with the campaign in R2. Should I be focusing on the campaign first? Are there any good guides available?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. So far I'm really enjoying the pop-in, pop-out competitive matches.

    I think it's really well done, though the multiplayer component is much stronger than the single player campaign. So, it depends on how much you want to play with those wiley mushrooms online.

    So I've been playing this on and off since release on competitive mode primarily. Is it just me, or is the fareye far and away the best weapon in the game? I've been using it almost exclusively for the past month now and I've seen my k/d ratio skyrocket. Also, has anyone found out how awesome the magnum is? When i'm hunting around for a better secondary weapon, I'll keep the magnum unless I run across a marksman, splicer, or bullseye seeing as they're the only other weapons that can kill faster. And the carbine? Worst. Weapon. Ever.
