Unlucky :p You gotta beat 4:14.

The best time I've seen is 3:58, no idea how the **** they did it. I thought 4:14 was brilliant :eek:

Pah

They lost loads of time on the 4:14 run by lasering down the door, the quick tech guy with the welding tool has it open so much quicker

Yeah it's easy to accidentally shoot your team mates in the back instead of firing the medic gun at them, especially in really intensive times.

IMO the tesla gun should be limited to the medic because its the only gun that doesn't deal FF damage. It just happens to be the most powerful gun in the game, especially if 3 players are all using it.

it's not that powerful on insane tbh.
 
I can only play if I'm using the Tesla. Anything else and I'm more of a threat to my team than those big bulged aliens that drop bombs after death.

Anyone completed it yet? Still stuck on like the fifth mission here with the same set of mates. Need new mates I think! :D

I played a team match with this lad. All of them used a tesla gun except me, and he kept pointing out that I was the highest FF scorer for every game.

No ***t Sherlock.

I'm quite liking the game, it's excellent fun with mates or if you manage to join a match successfully. My only annoyances are the buggy join match options and the amount of time it takes to go through the entire stretch.

I always get bored about half way and then let everyone down by ditching out. We got to the last level the first time I played and it took THREE HOURS!

We've gotten no FF's and perfects when we've all been running round with shotguns and flame throwers.


It's all about making sure you're not in steve's line of fire and he's not in your LOS, you know to remove temptation :o

You can start half way through if you want. Also, it shouldn't take 3 hours to do... Maybe if it's on insane and everyone keeps dying. If it's not on insane, most missions should be done in 5-10 minutes... Even on insane, it shouldn't take that much longer.

IN otherwords... no FF award goes to the team wielding 8 Tesla Cannons?

I don't think it awards the no FF award unless if you use a weapon capable of FF... i.e. If you just have medigun, medi beacons or teslas, you can't earn the no FF achievement.
 
Is it normal to take 10min~ to join a public game?

I keep getting bored at this stage and jumping into a quick TF2 game!
 
Downloaded this yesterday, may have to get involved in a game or two tonight - am on an early finish today, so if anyone wants a quick game around half 4, let me know :D

Tefal, Steve, Defrag, Lyon, Squark and myself have been running through the speed runs, done em all now though, good fun :)

Yeah they're intense.

Last level was the hardest by far, so many times 1 person dies near the end, we had the time limit for 6 runs, just someone kept dying. Was rage worthy.
 
The Tesla rifle seems a bit overpowered to me. It completely prevents friendly fire, stops you from ever wasting ammo by mis-aiming and on top it stuns whoever it hits. If your whole team take it you won't need any ammo pickups at all.

Yeah, I can solo a swarm on insane with it, well, so long as I don't miss a fast reload. If I miss a fast reload then i'm dead 5 times over :p
 
Anyone else had a problem with huge pings in this game? Me and my mate are getting over 400 all the time, yet all other games are fine :confused:
