Hard rain is an incredible map. Max is drunk.

Oh don't get me wrong, it's fantastic. What I should be saying is I'm BAD at it. Mind you I have played it a total of 1.5 times.

Where the hell did my achievements go?

YOU LEFT THEM BEHIND, ALONG WITH GNOME CHOMPSKI!!!!

SPEAKING OF GNOMES...

Me being the achievement whore I am, I decided to talk to a few people about doing a Rescue run. However, no one is a bad enough dude to try other than me! Apparently everyone gets the achievement even if they aren't carrying the gnome, so it will still be a lot more efficient (and fun!) if we work together. So goes the theory!

I got the gnome earlier this week, and helped a team of randoms get it yesterday, and I still wouldn't mind doing it again because Dark Carnival is that good.

I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope I'll be awake when you guys are playing for once.

Scavenge is the funnest fun that ever funned

Niku · « **Reply #527 on:** January 20, 2010, 10:15:05 PM »

i did feel bad for the last lingering human player who was left after our total shutout victories

but not bad enough to not deliver the rage quit inducing pounce

Smiler · « **Reply #528 on:** January 20, 2010, 10:16:14 PM »

We totally kicked ass. It was funny our first round of Scavenge because it was four of us versus Bleck and some pubbies.

Niku · « **Reply #529 on:** January 20, 2010, 10:22:19 PM »

Poor Bleck. Never 4get. ;_;

Defenestration · « **Reply #530 on:** January 21, 2010, 12:10:34 AM »

Team Smilefenesiku is clearly a force to be reckoned with. (I have no idea how to put Bleck in that)

Man. Last level of dead center. Boomer pukes me, while the horde is coming another boomer wanders out and when I finally get through that, a Charger gets the drop on me taking me away from the car.

So it's generally a good idea to run around the mall, getting the gas cans and throwing them over the rail near the car, right?

Smiler · « **Reply #532 on:** January 21, 2010, 08:08:47 AM »

Dead Center finale sucks if you are playing with pubbies. They will usually shoot the gas cans and get incapped at the same time leaving you and some other guy to run up to the third floor/run to the car and save them.

Norondor · « **Reply #533 on:** January 21, 2010, 08:26:25 AM »

yeah. i often end up splitting groups in half, with 2 on the ground and 2 climbing and tossing down. when a big horde comes, all bets are off. and needless to say, it helps a lot not to have too many shotguns in the group (then again, this is generally true, since their damage vs. tanks got nerfed hard).

Oh Hell, like I needed any more confirmation to learn to aim better. Military Combat Rifle and Military Sniper Rifle for life, dawg.

"I don't want to be a dick, but maybe we don't need a sniper rifle."

That was what, our 5th Concert Gates Gauntlet wipe?

I really just meant that we were dying because we weren't shootin' well enough and it's easier to blind-fire with an assault rifle than to actually sniper in a crescendo gauntlet.

Hopped aboard the Cheesy-Easy Mode Express to knock out a few "detriment to team" achievements. Gong Show, Dismemberment Plan(The Grenade Launcher is super fun but it's hard to justify using it re: actually being able to reliably help others. Grenade Launcher/Melee is begging for trouble), Confederacy of Crunches, Robbed Zombie. I also got the Gnome one but I'm up for helping other dudes get it, I'd just rather not burden a bro with my own Gnome needs. Or have a heart attack when we drop the gnome in the last two stages after I've spent the first two stages not shooting stuff.

Apparently Strength in Numbers requires very specifically using a "Play a Team Game" option. Huh.

Level a Charge seems to be impossible bullshit or reserved for the impossibly lucky. I've never actually seen a charger batted out of his charge. I assume you side-step and hit him in a 90 degree turn ala Niku-Face-Stabbing-Spy.

Heartwarmer.. man, I dunno. Hey guys, do you mind if I go throw my life away? Maybe I can cheese it by playing alone and killing the other 3 bots with my own gun before reviving one.

Bridge over Trebled(3 minute Parish finale) seems damn near impossible without 4 humans. Maybe we could try to get that together? Set it to easy, just sprint across the bridge? As long as you juke the tank, he won't catch up to you. And well, if you get hit, at least the three of us will finish the run. Maybe you'll even get credit!

Wing and a Prayer seems cheeseable on Easy Mode, but it's a tense bitch of a thing. I still took two hits just playing Captain Melee standing on the wing in Easy Mode.

Beat the Rush.. eh, maybe we can take turns on that? One dude is faux-useless until we nail a Bronze.

The rest are just natural Vs and Scavenge play.

Oh, and us manning up and beating shit on Expert. To quote Niku: "I think we should move up to Expert before we move up to Realism." Hell Year.

I contend, actually, that if you aren't using the magnum and the military sniper rifle, you are doing it wrong. The only reason to change primary weapons is to get the grenade launcher.

Having a laser sight on the military rifle is godly. You have almost 100% accuracy while running.

Norondor · « **Reply #539 on:** January 21, 2010, 01:33:39 PM »

i am a huge fan of automatic weapons myself. That and the spas-12.
