Yeh, should be done tonight. Can't see any really hard bits up until the Queen, maybe the Armored Kantus parts?

We'll just sacrifice you to the Armored Kantus.

Sounds like it's going well, good stuff guys.

Active Torque headshots on the Armoured Kantus works a treat.   :)

Super Reload Boomshot is a 1-hitter too.

had a blast guys!! More tonight!

I am incredibly surprised with how easy we are making it look, apart from a couple of places it has been surprisingly easy with 4 players.

Not sure how I racked up so many kills on the defense of Anvil gate. I was using a hammerburst with active reload and sitting to the left and right of each of the main doors, flanking the grubs as they ducked behind cover. I hardly got any heat from the grubs or boomers, which felt strange.

We finished the mobs off so fast that when the cut-scene activated the boomers blowing the gate apart appeared by magic in the cutscene.

I spent the first part of the fight at the back, just sitting out for you guys to respawn on me.......does anyone know if the AI works on an aggro/threat system like with MMOs or if they pick their targets randomly? Because it would be interesting to find that they didn't attack me much in the second half, because I sat out the first.

Tickers?! lol

Fear the Insane Ticker!
Playing most nights 8pm-12pm GMT. Longer if it's the weekend.

You laugh at Tickers on the lower levels, but when they are 1-hitters on Insane, when you hear them you get all panicky!!

I'm now on my 3rd full playthrough (casual this time while Nick & Cooley play on Insane), by the time I get to play on insane I'll know the campaign like the back of my hand!!! It's a shame you can't play Arcade mode on different dificulty levels, I'm not even getting the chapters for the Warmonger medal! At least I should get the 4-player co-op achievement at the end of it! :-\


Thank god for the new Tomb Raider, helped me de-stress after a tough week! More of the same please

Last boss is ridiculous, not the actual boss but her Queen Guards

Yeh it was late, we'd been on for 5hours plus ... was getting tedious, we'll be fresh and ready to kick ass tonight. Even if we have to do 1 person hiding on Insane, we'll get this done!!

You can use the lift that you come up in for cover, saw a vid on youtube of some guy finishing it on Insane, he stayed there for the majority of the battle and none of the guards ever bothered him, it was only when he needed ammo that he had a bit of trouble.

I've been looking at strategies and write-ups online and 'The Gazebo' seems the way to go!

There's a gazebo around the edge which you can hide behind and the Therons pretty much ignore you and the queen can't hit you, 1 hides the and the other 3 distract it and die generally. Everyone shoots though, it seems that working on the Queen and 'trying' to ignore the Therons is the way to go.

EDIT: Obviously my Gazebo is Craig's lift.

I think he's hilarious; 'This is probably the scariest thing i've done this year!'

I'm sure he's on my friends list, good lad!
