War For Cybertron Game Review

[griffin]

Is there anyone playing multi-player on the PC?

I'm trying to most days, but I'm finding that our mid-morning (east coast) is now the required time to play, or else there aren't enough American people playing to activate more than Team Deathmatch. All the other games seem to not have enough people to start them (most need 4 to start).

As Saintly mentioned, multi-player campaign (with or without others) with points, helps gain more trophies at once.
I also found that playing with others (join or host a public game), makes it easier to get through certain difficult stages... but if you get a noob, it can be a lot harder, as the game has to restart everytime someone dies.

Thanks Griffin. It makes sense. Also explains why there is more action on weekends when they stay up late.

Well, only have one trophy to go - Wave 15 of Escalation. I actually joined a game yesterday afternoon that was at wave 40, but even though I finished that wave and the next, you must have to physically finish wave 15 to get the trophy, as I didn't get it. Boo.

I joined a game at wave 9 and went thru till about wave 23 when i was kicked for idling (nappies dont change thsmselves). I got the wave 15 achievement but i wasnt expecting it because i died during the wave, luckily my teammates helped us thru. I am better for it too, playing beside or watching more skilled players has helped my technique and people are now hanging around me as i methodically work thru wave 10. How you get near wave 15 without cloaking or friends though is beyond me.

[griffin]

Yeah, it's impossible without cloaking or mutliple people, as all the enemies seek you out at once. Cloaking stops their seeking ability, allowing you to relocate somewhere safe. While having mutliple people on at the same times splits up the enemies between each person.

So I guess it's kind of a cheat if you enter escalation any time before wave 15, and just survive to wave 16.


Gee, wave 40? Which map?
It can take over an hour getting to the mid-teens... If each wave gets more intense with more enemies, it must have taken many hours to get to wave 40.
(it might explain how those people on the top of the leaderboard have 4-6 million points, and about a month of gameplay clocked - and I've only clocked a bit over a day of gameplay and about 600,000 points.)

Forgotten the name. It's a Decepticon map that you and I played, with the Overshield down in that tunnel. The enemies were all exactly the same in waves 40-43 - a few light troopers and cloakers, some brutes and the big guys with the detachable cannons, and a few flyers. We all just huddled in this small room with only one entrance, and the enemies would enter pretty much one at a time. It was really quite simple.

Xbox live ID yleehs add me if you want to play sometime always up for a round of escalation or 15

Yeah, that's District - the one I found to be quite easy to get through the waves on my own. It's the one I got to Wave 12 on before I messed up on something stupid. With a Scrapmaker and Magma Frag Launcher (for the Brutes), a cloaker can dash from one end to the other after a couple doors are opened and pick off the enemy as they catch up in waves.

43 waves still would have taken some time though, I would imagine.
