Re: Dark Corners Achievements

Horde achievements nice but a lot of players would of already reached level 50 by then so all these can be scooped up in a week. Personally leveling up after 50 is only for hardcore gamers I mean come on 6.5 million points for level 100 hopefully they are planning a shed load of double xp weekends as I only average about 50,000 points a week.

Re: Dark Corners Achievements

The problem is you can't do Horde with randoms because you always go back to the beginning. So it is a case of waiting until 4 friends have a spare million hours. You can do upto lvl 10 with randoms, but anything higher than lvl20 is a no go.

Re: Dark Corners Achievements

There's speculation that the experience system will incorporate Horde.

X-Play: 'Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection' Expansion Pack Preview - G4tv.com

Pause at 2:49 you can see the Experience Earned toast pop up at the start of a horde wave.

I hope this is true. Although the best change would be earning EXP in realtime rather than waiting for the end of the game just for the host to quit .

Re: Dark Corners Achievements

according to one of my friends you get experience for public horde - dont know how much eg the ratio of in game points to rank points though

the achievements look quite decent and fairly do-able

No you don't. I played an absolute ton of Public Horde and have never earned a single EXP. So unless TU3 added it which I very much doubt your friend is mistaken.



The flame 30 beast riders in Horde might be a ******* to do.

not really, get someone to shoot down the rider then toast the bloodmount, it doesnt take much to kill one with the scorcher.

The issue will be 5 people trying to get the achievement. You don't get many of them on the map so it will be a clusterf' trying to do it.

Re: Dark Corners Achievements

good luck getting 5 people in horde

you just have to do wave 10/20/30/40/50 over and over - as they are the waves when bloodmounts spawn

then on a map such as grind yard (snowblind) with an easy to reach flamer and easy map to hold out on its easy or maybe one of the new maps will be easy as well and will let you work on the other achievements

the flamer is way too overpowered and strong so its not hard - it has some serious range as well!
