After a 2hr 17minute session on Death Toll – Expert mode. Gazmo81 and I managed to survive the campaign, unfortunately we had to leave BennyK to take on a smoker, tank and horde all on his own… it was a tragic loss to the team, he nearly cried (he’s not survived a campaign on expert yet). I can’t help but feel a little guilty as i’ve managed to survive 5 times on expert so far and poor Capt Ridikulous (the artist formerly known as Iron Man Jakes) and BennyK have had to sacrifice their lives for the good of me and Gazmo…. oh well better luck next time boys.
Oh yeah… it was all thanks to Gazmo finding the “Jesus Rock” for us to stand on :-) so far we have a room on no mercy, and a rock on Death Toll, and some serious tactics on Dead Air… only Blood Harvest left to do… it’s going to be an absolute arse!!!!
On another note, after the release of Resident Evil 5 i’ve been a little quiet on the L4D front. I now have 5 achievements left to get on Resi5. Headshot a zombie while he’s jumping, Deflect an arrow with a knife, Fully upgrade all weapons (i have 3 left to go, all part upgraded already), Complete all chapters on professional mode, and chain the maximum number of combos together. The combos one should be easy, after reading a blog post on it, all you have to do is fight a big fat man in coop mode on Veteran, shoot him till he stumbles, punch him, sheva kicks him, and run up for a 3rd hit and bingo, there’s your achievement. The weapons one should only take another day or so to do, then i’ll go for the headshot and deflect an arrow, both really need doing on coop as sheva’s AI is a bit trigger happy for doing these achivements. Awesome game though, i’ve finished it around 5 times now so far for various reasons (3 to get all 3 standard difficulties and the other two for BSAA symbols and Treasures, oh and completing it in under 5 hours, and getting an S ranking on all levels…) then it’s onto mercinaries mode to get the rest of the unlockables. I may go for 100% completion on this one, although i hear professional mode reduces your weapons effectiveness considerably and zombies do MUCH more damage…. oh well after L4D on expert, i’m up for a challenge! :-)
