We'll never quit on you either Giantrobo! <3

Also if wanting to team up on Horde I'll go as well. I've made it to (42) but lately either there's a bunch of quitters or they're losing connections big time (mine is not the best either). I'll finish with all five players about 1 in 5 matches. They start dropping around wave four and it usally ends up with three of us after wave 15. The other issue...more playing with no mic.

I wouldn't mind finishing up with the Horde either. Not sure when I will be around the next few days but I will see if you guys are online and will send an invite.

I agree, the Mansion is probably the easiest level to do this.

DVDChris 12-30-08 12:17 PM

I still have yet to attempt Horde mode. So if you see me online, I'm down to shoot the horde.

Krayzie 12-30-08 12:46 PM

Damn i'm still waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail.
Might have to pick up an xbox live subscription once it arrives.

No Use For A Name 12-30-08 01:37 PM

I'm always willing to play some GOW2, so if you ever see me online, go ahead and send me an invite.

K&AJones 12-30-08 06:17 PM

Well it happened again last night...quitters...played six matches and only one was finished with all five players.

One thing for certain if we're able to get enough DVD Talkers for a round and one quits..WE KNOW WHERE YOU HANG OUT!!!

On a side note the one we got to 42 was Gridlock. We took one of the towers where you have the high ground and only two ways up. Damm that poison gas! I'll be on tomorrow for the XBOX Horde thing that's happening.

This is starting to sound kinda [brokeback_mountain] I wish I knew how to quit you. [/brokeback_mountain]

K&AJones 12-30-08 06:49 PM

Hmmmm.....GOW2 meets Brokeback Mountain...sounds like a horrible "B" movie...jeewiz I'm going to have nightmares now. Come to think of it we don't have any female characters at all in GOW....this is creepy....

Didn't they have some "brokeback inspired" achievements in the 1st game?


Kinda off topic, I know the Gearsfanboys would HATE it but it's high time they added at least one playable female character to the series.

That is what Robo says to Lost Planet... ;)

Anyone interested in running some Horde this evening, send me an invite, I'm in.

Ha, Ha, Ha...makes you wonder which other glitches didn't make the video. The "Invisible Man?"....and the "Shotgun" one I'm sure I've seen plenty of.

Raul3 01-01-09 12:00 AM

Hey Giantrobo, I added you to my FL. Since You, DVDChris and me are in California it should be easier to be at the same time, or so I think.

And no, I won't quit on you either. [/BBM]

Giantrobo 01-01-09 05:06 AM

Sounds good Ennis. :up:

K&AJones 01-01-09 09:27 AM

Tonight's the final night for the "XBL GOW2 Horde" deal. Anyone up for a Horde party? The good news at least one of my friends did make it to 50 last night.

I tried a few times last night and just gave up. I guess allot got the game for Christmas and now started playing right away. Of the five matches played, none finished with more than (3) players and with every match only two us had a mic.

I'm in for tonight if there's any interest.

FusionX 01-01-09 08:23 PM

Great game tonight, even if we had to switch maps to finish 50!

K&AJones 01-02-09 10:10 AM

Good game last night guys considering we went almost the full distance with just four of us. I'd still like to make it all the way without us all dying on a level. Just remember...38, 49 & 50.

Marc Fusion, JustinRT and dpauls73 (not from DVD-Talk but I'm inviting him over). Oh year honorable mention Turdferguson64 for coming off the bench and helping out at the end.

May try again tonight or if some want to shoot for coop I still need it for points.

I finally made it to 50 in Horde with some cool Randoms last night. We started with 5 but ended up with 4 by the end. We totally got routed a couple of times but the host continued and at least 4 of us were in it to win it until the end. I swear it took us like 3 hours. We started on River but ended up finishing it on Security.

I completed the four last missing too (36-39) alone. I played on casual, just to be sure. Used the Day One map.
I just stayed in top of the stairs, where there's always a powerful weapon, it varies, and just waiting for them to attack me.
I think that's the only way to do it if you are alone, since, even on casual, when there are two locusts they'll kill you really easy. I actually died several times, since there were times they were attacking me from behind, from the street, and there were others attacking in the front, in the stairs, and there was really no place to cover.

That's the same level and strategy I used. I would also recommend keeping a shield with you through each level and planting it at the top of those stairs. The blood mounts/riders were the most difficult enemies to deal with IMO.

That's how my group finished Horde as well. 2 folks were always up there spamming the fancy weapons.
