Thoth 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 OK, what in the hell am I missing in order to rack up some of these scores you guys are putting up? Kill guys, collect multipliers, don't get killed. Is there something I'm missing here? On my absolute best game of Deadline, I'm playing my ass off and barely getting over 2 mil, and I'm seeing scores more than 3 times that high. What's the secret? Don't think, feel. I'm serious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 He's right. It's like Guitar Hero in that respect. You must become one with the game. Over thinking will be your doom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thoth 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 You basically need to play and practice the game until you can play it in an "Alpha Wave" state of mind. Practice on Geo Wars 1, if you have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 I read an FAQ for the original that suggested going for the Pacifist achievement (don't shoot/bomb for the first 60 seconds) every time you play the game, just to practice your movement skills. I would do that, but I only play the game for 20 minutes every few months, so I don't really care enough to practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2008 I just played my first 2 games. The first was standard deathmatch, and the second involved capture points. In the second, I ran into my friend Chase on the other team and we concluded the game by simultaneously killing each other. That was pretty sweet. I'm actually halfway decent from what I've played so far, getting 1st and 2nd place on my team in kills. My experience with 3rd person shooters is limited to Gears. I had never played a RF game, but I'm really, really liking the game so far, though. Seems like a buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2008 I tried to fix my NAT earlier, hoping to change it from moderate to open. I followed directions from TeamXbox.com to the letter, and it not only didn't work, but it fucked up my computer royally. The thing wouldn't even recognize the ability to connect to the internet. I After spending 3 and a half hours on the phone with Verizon, I'm NEVER trying that again. Moderate it is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's just in the States, I'll be very upset. Edit: For fuck's sake. EB Canada has a pre-order deal for EA Sports games. Trade 2 games and $9.95. The games have to have $8+ in trade-in value, which may be difficult to find. Assassin's Creed, for example, is worth all of a Toonie. They have to be current-gen, as well. No PS2, GC, Xbox, GBA. And no PC either, I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
