    I'm having more troubles getting into a game on LIVE than staying in one.

    The whole Quick Match thing isn't really cutting it.

    Hey, question for Tactical heads. Do your turrets get any stronger as you level up, or are they stuck at the same power level forever and ever?

    They go up a level at around Rank 4 or 5, and you keep getting new ones.

    Spoiler in case anyone reading wants to be surprised by their upgrades...
    The Autocannon Turret at rank 6 is an absolute beast. Huge knockback effect, long range, high rate of fire and damage.

    Damn, am I getting my ass kicked on Hard on my own. Might have to do some co-op.

    The rank 4 guns help a LOT, though. My foes still take a serious pounding before they drop, but at least they're dropping now at a half-decent pace.

    Anyone else keep getting disconnected from live while playing edf?

    It isn't my internet going out, and it only happens when I am playing EDF think they have a bug that is killing the network adapter.

    Oh shit, I was having this happen to me too!
    I had to switch to the wired connection to get it to stop fucking with me.
    But it only started last night, which is weird because I was able to play on Friday/Saturday with no issues!

    Game is fabulous.

    But I don't think I've ever leapt as quickly into a game's option to turn off voices before. These are the worst I've literally ever heard.

    Yes, worse then Chaos Wars. There is absolutely no aspect of them that isn't not 100% annoying.

    I just wish that the briefing voice wouldn't replay when you restart a level. Even if you can cut it off once you get into the set up screen, it's still annoying.

    I didn't turn off the voices in Chaos Wars. I did in this. No exaggeration at all.

    Note there's a difference between terrible voice acting and terrible dialogue and voice direction.

    the voice work is fine until you hear the same 3 jokes repeated ad nauseum and the same unskipppable mission briefings over and over and over again. then it becomes less fine.

    also i think im going to be done once i max out the battle armor. doing it all over again 3 more times seems pretty untenable to me, unless a way easier method for grinding out XP and cash surfaces.

    The voices are great. I love bad voices and bad dialogue, and never get tired of hearing the same lines over and over. Perfect for me, I guess.

    man, the pesticide mortar you get when you hit level 8 with the battle armor is totally worthless. sure it kills everything anywhere near it with one hit, but that 100% of the time includes you and all your teammates too. the blast radius is way the hell too big and hard to judge to actually be able to use the thing. i was hoping to use it to cheese out the last couple inferno levels but oh well.

    On the 360 if you do split screen co-op the second player doesn't have access to all of player one's equipment/levels, they're expected to have their own profile set up (and you need a second profile to save their progress). Not sure how it's handled on the PS3.

    You should be on Hard by now, the XP ramps up and things will go quicker.

    My Battle armor had enough punch at Rank 3 to clear 1-1 on hard without to much trouble.

    I hope inferno gives a lot more, I hit level 6 on my battlearmor, and it was like 230k to the next level and 85k a gun. Getting like 7k/5k a solo game.

    Inferno appears to triple the amount of xp, going from 15/ant on hard to 45/ant on inferno. Definitely more fun, but also significantly more difficult. A single rocket blast from my tier 5 rocket launcher does NOT kill a single ant outright. Lots of running away (unfortunately, the ants I think can run faster than a BA), and, at least in my case, dying.

    wow 85k a gun at rank 6?. it was just costing around 3-5k a gun at rank 4 and that pretty much bankrupted me for battle armor.

    Ive heard the 2 pre-order guns dlc will be hitting xbla and psn eventually at 2.99 each

    Yeah, I was buying every gun I could for BA up until level 5, I would recommend not doing that. Save the money and only buy what you absolutely need to rank up, the lower tier guns become useless. Wish they had end loaded the weapons so there was less useless crap in my list.

  • RubycatRubycat Registered User regular
    Yeah, I was buying and using 2 new guns every mission till I bottomed out of credits.

    tier 7 weapons cost 100-250k each. you can get 60-70k a mission if you grind XP/credits on 1-4, but it gets real tedious. i kinda gave up on this game once i maxed out my battle armor. i still have the last couple levels left on inferno if anyone on the ps3 wants to try to co-op them sometime i guess.

    The shockwave on the blast armor is pretty amazing for survivability in Inferno, at least at mid levels. I'm guessing it's not as useful once you get up to tier 7 or 8.

  • Ah_PookAh_Pook Registered User regular
    the shockwave becomes way less useful, and the shield becomes way more useful. one straight down rocket blast with the shield up is just as effective as the shockwave for clearing space, and takes way less of the shield. shield+point blank rockets is the best thing generally.

    are any of you dude splaying this on the ps3 for real?
