Crackdown 2

[Dogzbone]

As quite a few people own this or have just ordered it, I thought it deserved a topic.

I recently got the achievement for all 500 agility orbs. Now I need to get the rest of the renegade agility orbs. Absolutely hate them!!

[RaMarcus]

I need to get the Horde/Deluge Mode achievement, I want the Red Agent Suit for my Avatar

[Dogzbone]

What do you have to do for that achievement? I'm up for some games on horde with you but not tonight. Have to hit the gym tonight.

[RaMarcus]

I think you just need to play to a set level, not all that hard from what I hear. Although you need the DLC to play it, I've not even tried it myself

[Dogzbone]

Only reason I never got any further than level 7 is because of the vast quantity I had to kill, I also chose to ignore the weapon spawns and quickly leg it to the next area. Bad idea.

[RaMarcus]

lol, sounds like fun, I'm setting up something on GI tonight anyway but we can look to play towards the weekend. Just post on here when you think you'll go on and we'll go from there.

[Dogzbone]

Yeah sure I would be up for it.

Handy having the jet pack thing in horde mode. Means you can at least stay off the ground a lot of the time. Also all of your abilities are maxed out. Always one enemy you have difficult finding in time and then the round ends.

[RaMarcus]

Two sets of super powered fists will be better than one

[Dogzbone]

You can be Robin to my Batman

[Reaper]

Ended up getting bored waiting on my copy to be dispatched so went and bought it from blockbuster today and cancelled my order so i'll try pop on for a few games sometime

[Kooj]

Still waiting for my Gears of War 2 to arrive that i ordered last week but Crackdown 2 has arrived

[Dogzbone]

I would suggest you get the horde downloadable content but it's 560 points so understand if you can't.

Is the toy box content worth the purchase Marcus?

[Kooj]

560 point, fuck me, i can afford it just dont know if its worth the scratch

[RaMarcus]

The Toy Box was what we were playing the other night, it's available to all if the host has it so it's less worth it as it depends if you find yourself in a party when no one has it. I was going to suggest we play on normal next time anyway, it's fun but it's nice to play with the restrictions on sometimes.

[Dogzbone]

Yeah to be honest it's a bit dull with god mode turned on.

[Morph Phoenix]

Haven't had chance to check out paypal today, I'll have a look later, I've only just got in and I'm battered. Need sleep.

I'll be getting this though. I think I said somewhere before, that during crackdown one, I got 499 orbs out of 500. I never got the fecking achievement.

Can't get over it man.

[RaMarcus]

Crackdown 1 costs more than Crackdown 2 these days, but I might pick up a copy if I ever see it. Classic.

[Morph Phoenix]

I might just get to so I can finally find that elusive orb after what, 3-4 years?

[Dogzbone]

Crackdown 1's campaign and graphics are better than Crackdown 2 surprisingly.

I got the achievement for all 500 orbs in Crackdown 2.

The secret? Got to 484 and couldn't find the rest so flew a helicopter for the first time in the game. If you're flying over an area, keep pressing up on the D-Pad. Orbs will flash up on it like a radar if you're within the area.

[Bluebane]

So thats what that does, i was wondering

[Morph Phoenix]

How do you land a helicopter without destroying it? Makes getting orbs much more difficult, since the helicopter blow ups when I try landing it.

I'm going to be up for coop achievements at some point, who's in?

[RaMarcus]

Just take it slow, hover about 3 foot off the ground and the landing gear comes out, wait for it. And I think I've got most of the online achievements but I need the ones from the Deluge Pack for sure

[Dogzbone]

Helicopter is only really needed later on for some achievements. I got 484 without it.

[Morph Phoenix]

Cheers, I managed to land the chopper, I was too eager before.

Right now I have 444 agility orbs.

Do I need to deluge pack in order to help you get the achievements for it? I rememebr you saying as long as the host has the pack the entire party can use it?

[RaMarcus]

Deluge is the pack you have to buy to be able to play. The Toy Box is the one only the host has to have.

[Dogzbone]

Marcus if you want to play some Deluge, I can most evenings after 8 o'clock, just not this evening.

[RaMarcus]

Ok mate, same here for tonight, might play something on PC tonight if I get a chance... however the patch just went in on FortressCraft so might have to check that out though!

[Dogzbone]

Give AOE Online a chance too. It's a bit different to the older games but still a lot of fun.

Also could do with help getting all the online orbs on Crackdown 2. I haven't got any yet.

AOE Online looks a bit cartoonish right? Makes that the game experience less serious?

[Kooj]

They use that art style so they can use less polygons so the system requirements are low

[Dogzbone]

Graphics are not a big deal. The gameplay is still the same.

[Morph Phoenix]

Has anyone run into the guy playing the guitar? He sang me a song but now he's playing silently..

[Dogzbone]

Yeah I came across him. I may have killed him.

[Morph Phoenix]

I killed him once he stopped singing. The fool should have realised his talents were keeping him alive.

I also wanted to take his guitar, but when you kill him it disappears :/
