I really hate that opening game. Me and Crash were even on 2-2, then RIGHT as the match is coing to an end she fragged me with a missle...




Bitch...

I had an awful match with Crash(what makes it worse is that i'm not really good at this type of game anyhow.) I think I beat her like 15-8 or something.

I was playing on advanced, and I was playing EXTREMELY defensively. Don't know why, but I never play offensively online.

Except for CoD 4 and Wolfenstein ET, where I find offense more fun, esp when it gets me multiple kill sprees in a row, CoD 4 especially, 3->5->Die->3. XD

I don't like Crash's difficulty, it keeps increasing as you get more aggressive. Not that I don't hate a challenge, but this is an unfair challenge.

As long as she didn't have a rocket launcher I didn't have any trouble killing her.

Entering the final door is easy, you just have to understand the mechanics which make it possible. As soon as you land on the ground where you rocket jump, turn your back to the force field and aim at the ground at a 45 degree angle. Then, begin to fast run back(I do not know the technical name of it), but it's where you run in a direction and jump, then jump again once you hit the ground. If you don't do this, then you won't have enough momentum from your rocket shots.  When you fast run backwards, right before you enter the force field, jump and shoot at the ground, once you hit the ground jump and shoot again. You should be able to enter the door in time if you follow this right.

I just ran through the force field, turned and rocket boosted backwards through the door.



Then left the match 'cause I was getting my ass kicked, expert really kicks your ass =/

Yeah, she was kind of hard for me, too. We were actually tied at 13 when we entered "sudden death" mode, then after a while she finally killed me.

Well I#ve worked out how I play best, give me time to grab a lightning gun, some armor and health, possibly a rocket launcher but not neccessarry, then cover me while I shock those up close and minigun those away from me. The rocket launcher's just for random sprays and running away faaaaaaaaaaast.

But I'm scared by the shotgun, I swear I was taking massive damage ACROSS the map =/ Then again, the plasma rifle was just.... argh.

Whats everyones account name btw? Mines CociCookie (As if you had to guess)

You will probably not wanna play with me, when i get those weapons or the nail gun, I can become a killing machine.

Hey, the stat tracking and achievements are back! I also found that some items that weren't on a map before are now there, like Invisibility appeared on multiple maps that had no invisibility before the stat tracking went back online. Plus most if not all of the glitches are fixed there is no more waiting, every time I log in there is no wait whatsoever now.

Yeah, I noticed achieves were on when it said I'd played 1 online match.

However, that means I have anouther 40+ Gaunt kills again =[ I got 6 in one match once tho', so I'm happy ^^

Has anyone had a problem in this where when you choose to leave a match at the end of it, your browser crashes?

This happens to me, and it doesn't save any of my frags or anything before the crash.

Mine doesn't crash, what browser you using? That might be the problem.

Do NOT use Internet Explorer for this game. It works for some people, but it is more prone to crashing with that browser. Firefox is the best way to go here, and it just runs better in it too.

I'm not stupid. I haven't used Internet Explorer in years.

I am using Firefox, the latest one in fact. What's the problem?

This happens to me only when I get out of a match during a load session. I use firefox btw.

This is fucking weird then. It crashes if I try leaving mid-match, as well as at the end of matches if I choose to leave the game.
