EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: INSECT ARMAGEDDON

[Char Aznable]

Yeah, that was waaaaayyy more fun with the battle armor, I feel like my weapons are actually doing something. You know, on the few enemies that your explodey purple shit didn't take care of immediately.

I just wish leveling up didn't take so god damn long. I suppose it's because we were getting like 1/3 of your kills, but that progress bar was inching up so slowly.

We had some good teamwork going with the revives, too. I'm down to play again whenever, just let me know.

[usedtabe]

Yeah Battle is a beast. I love him. Jet is just so fun looking like he's roller skating around the outside of the fight sniping and rocketing shit. He's also really good at being able to get in, revive and get the fuck out before going down too.



I might be on tonight. Probably not as long. If you want to level up faster a good way is to farm the anthills on 1-1 Insane(just don't set a charge and they'll spawn forever). Just remember that the max points you can get in a level is 65,000. Check gamefags for some other good farming levels for when that one gets boring.

I forgot that if you're a level 7 you have to play on Insane or none of the experience counts. So all those points for my Battle were wasted. At least I got some new guns though.



I should be on again tonight.

Ugh, that really blows. What were we playing on? Hard? I think I can handle insane at this point, I got to level 6 after doing some ant hill grinding. I was just sitting there repeatedly using the shockwave thing, and that seemed to work pretty well.

I wish I stuck with Battle instead of Tactical when I originally played this, I probably would have stuck with the game longer.

[usedtabe]

Yeah, it was all hard. Battle is really fun. That one and Jet are the best. I did Tactical first too but I realized quickly the turrets weren't worth a shit.





Gonna be on tonight. ZP you gonna show up?

[ZombiePlatypus]

Maaaaaaaybe.

[Mr Andy Dixon]

I haven't played this in like a year, but I loved it when it first came out. I'm out of town this weekend, but if you all are still interested by the time NEXT Friday rolls around, I'll host this for FNF.

[usedtabe]

The only think that sucks about it is it's only 3 player co-op. But I think survival is at least 4 if not 5.

[Mr Andy Dixon]

Ah, that sucks. I *think* I played co-op when it first released, but I may have never gotten around to it. I'll throw in the disc sometime soon and see where I'm at. Don't even remember what classes I played or what levels they're at.

[ZombiePlatypus]

When you're playing co-op I really don't think your personal level matters anyway. It's all about having a teammate there able to revive you regardless of your level.

[usedtabe]

1-4 is already tough on Hard and regular Inferno, but ded-gum did those metal ants and wasps make it retarded on Inferno Remixed. My Battle is only 212,000 pts from being maxed out at level 8.

[Char Aznable]

What's the advantage of playing remixed? Do you get more exp, or better weapon drops?

I actually got more kills than you one time, so I was proud of that accomplishment.

[usedtabe]

I saw that.

Remixed has different drops and usually tougher enemies so more points.

[usedtabe]

Farming 1-4 Ditchslap on Inferno Remixed is the way to go but you need at least one other human. I was able to beat the entire first part that we died on with bots(enemy health is lower when it's just one human player) and made it to the farm tunnel. After 3 minutes of farming I was already up to 25,000 points. The only problem is when you get ready to close one of the spider holes your retard bots don't always follow you. So I died and lost not only that XP but also two brand new weapon drops from the 3 Hectors.


If you do the level, make sure that there are metal ants spawning behind you. If it's anything else quit and retry. That way you're guaranteed to have metal spiders in the tunnel.

[Char Aznable]

Ok, I'll have to try that. I've been sticking with 1-1 on inferno remix, but it took a while to get to 30k before I just blew up the anthills and wrapped it up. Good to know that enemy health is lowered on solo, I knew it was too damn easy to kill those things. haha

Are you shooting them with normal weapons, or blowing them up with your shockwave? I've been doing shockwave, it seems more effective and I don't have to keep running away. The downside is that the anthills keep crumbling, and I have to wait for them to rebuild. I had to kill off my bots because they kept shooting the damn anthills and stealing my kills.

[usedtabe]

I bought an expensive assault rifle and use that combined with a rocket launcher. The blast-only tactic won't work in that tunnel.
