Just started Act 1 on Insane.
It's so hard this time with no revives I can't be bothered. I was getting on hit insta killed when I got to the playground on chapter 3 act 1.
It's possible to use 3 friends of casual you on insane but I can't be bothered wasting 10 hours or more for 75gp.
Trust me you ain't doing this one on insane on your own. Not without it taking you forever. I'm amazed how tough they have made it. I've been ducked behind cover with a tiny bit showing and they have one shot killed me from as far away as they can get on the map. This wouldn't have been a problem so much except there is no more reviving on insane.
The others I got through on insane, not a hope on this for me. The silly thing is they made the ai help excellent so they push forward and don't get put down while you have you head sniped off with 3 pixels showing.
You could never do insane on 4 player co op without going out of your mind every time one player got dropped.
I've always said its far too tough to get all the variable right on 4 player co op. Gears worked quite well with 2 players to get the balance even if you then played alone. This time it's madness.

Was playing Horde with my friends and the bloody game robbed us! We all got killed at wave 47,chose to continue and it only spawned to of our players. We assumed maybe some of us hadn't chose to start so they played,died and we chose to start again and it only spawned 2 again! We ended up having to back out completely and having to start new,which meant we lost all our money and defences. We tried going from wave 47 but couldn't do it as we got over run. So basically we're gonna have to go back to wave 20 or something

The Silverback in Horde mode is sick to be honest. A killing machine. Works wonders against Brumark.
Theres only 3 problems with it:
Theres only 3 problems with it:
- The first is if you buy it to early, you cant make enough cash back to be able to keep up repairs. A full repair is something silly like $10k.
- It dies way too quickly when out of cover, it does annihilate pretty much anything it sees, but I found the best way to use it is to just use it sometimes, eg to take out boomers and grinders or find a place on the map to sit where your mostly covered to take stuff out.
- Your team mates will mostly try to steal it off you because its so good. This makes point 2 really hard, as you cant really just leave it anywhere.
You can play it on arcade which makes it easier as you will respawn if one stays alive.
Failing that you can do it in coop with your mates on an easier setting and just let them clear it out.

I'm not having too many problems at the moment, ive nearly finished act one on my own.
Ah I didn't know that thanks
I know you can have friends on an easier level but I didn't really want to subject a load of people to a run through with me hiding a lot.

Nice work.
I can't move when I get to the playground. The first time I tried I did well but after trying again the AI run forward and leave me with a stack of wretches!

Really quite impressed with this. Played for an hour or so last night.
Epic have really tuned the engine up. Seems faster, more fluid almost. Graphics are excellent and the presentation has taken a step up.
Great stuff

Just tried it on arcade insane and it was still instant death?
I'm a little confused, I got the LE version of this which comes with two DLC codes one on the medal and a separate token what are they both for? The token says it's for the Adam Fenix multiplayer skin but I thought that was the code engraved on the medal?
Single player or in Co-op?
I'm only going by what I read though, not started the campaign yet.

I tried in in single player, will try co-op later.
I really like what they have done to horde this time, adds a massive amount of replay to have defenses you level up. So you need to play through multiple times on each skill level before you think about trying the next one.
I just got put on normal horde and lasted to level 20 we got bummed by 3x bezerkers.
Back to casual to upgrade some more I think
The trouble is people start upgrading all over the place, I found one corner upgraded and got the most cash every round.
I saved up and found it totally useless. Obviously, it's down to me being ****. I found it too slow, the machine gun did bugger all and by the time it faffed about getting itself into cover mode, it was on the verge of exploding so I didn't even get a chance to test the rockets. What a waste of $12,500.
