Skip lunch! Werk hard! If not Jap! - potsc

live.xbox doesnt say anything about new achieves. boo and also hoo

Played some survivor mode last night, seemed solid fun. Especially the lighthouse map.
Can't wait to try the new campaign that is sure to follow

Any way of checking out the stats on the best time of the longest survival run for each map?

Survival is pretty fun, campaign mode on expert was getting too easy.

there are some lovely pounces on dear air and death toll

does anyone have the direct download link for PC so i can download it from the office and not this horrible 3G connection?

It's not just the melee fatigue that bothers me, every time someone gets jumped by a hunter, anyone standing next to him gets knocked 3 feet back and can't shoot, melee or move for a few seconds.

I was playing it with some (decent) friends last night and we got 12 minutes on the lighthouse on our third attempt. It's quite a rush and requires very different tactics to the other gametypes, which keeps things interesting... at least short term. Most maps we were able to get gold on our first try. I think once i've achieved gold on all the maps, I probably won't play the gametype much after. Versus is still where the action is.

Oh playing survivor with pubs is impossible. You absolutely 101% need voice comms for that gametype, so that the team can communicate which direction the tank is coming from to concentrate fire on.

I can see why didn't allow other human players to be infected in survivor mode. Games would last about 30 seconds with a capable team.

We need to get a Q3W survivor night going.

we need some q3w vs going on .

Aside from wow there hasn't been another multiplayer game that's held my attention this much since q3

yeh need some vs =p

Yeah what the fuck's with that? Is that just for the survivor gametype?

yeah, just for survivor i believe. it's to balance things out a bit, because hunter pounces can easily be melee'd off and everyone stays close together in survivor mode. the extra fatigue makes things a little harder, especially if a tank is coming.
