kill one of the rocket luncher guys but not the other one. Then kill all the other guys that keep coming. Once there are no more coming kill the other rocket launcher guy and sprint to the wall. When you get there another rocket launcher guy is going to pop up on the left side. Just cover to keep from getting hit and make your way past him then sprint to the APC. Don't ever waste time trying to shoot him.
Yeah I got it. Killed the first 2 boomers, and ran like a little girl through the rest of them till I hit the cutscene.
I finished it on casual. The game did seem kinda short. I killed RAMM on my third try on casual. Hit him with about 4-5 exploding arrows till he got close...I dunno if its a glitch or what...but he didnt come past the last concrete barrier....i hid behind it and blasted him almost point blank with the shotgun till he was dead. The comp Dom was useless. I played through act2 co-op with dzjepp. Its so much easier on hardcore when you have a teamate with a real brain...lol

Heyhey what are you saying? :icon33:

Twas fun, sorry for not saying much on the mic, the default ms headset is the worst headset ever made. I can't even fit it on my melon head and it sounds waaaaaay to quiet.

Plus I don't know why live lags here and there for me, it dosen't seem as 'lag free' as some people say, I mean I noticed you where glitching sometimes, and my upload is decent (60kb) so wtf?

btw, this game dosen't looks as nice as that tv spot (the one with the donnie darko music). I haven't played that far but I imagine that was a static cut-scene that ain't in the game and they could of bumped up the detail on that.

Playing the game, some people are somewhat low res, mostly some of the lesser npc's. Some lesser that nice textures here and there also.

But I don't wanna turn into an odium, it's still a great game, and the shooting is awesome (it really feels like those bullets are going into people, something that's missing from other games).

I have the exact same problem. I usually can't play MP unless I host my own game or I get an invite from a friend. I can't figure out what the prob is...

Connection problems are 90% of the time caused by your router or the hosts router. If you set your XBOX 360 with a static IP address, then place that IP on the DMZ of your router. You will have much better luck joining games. The game host should be doing this as well otherwise you may still have the same problem.

Once the settings have been applied go to the System Blade > Network Settings > Test Xbox Live Connection

Your NAT should say OPEN

Sadly if the Host is not configured like this you may still have issues connecting to them. I cannot explain why some people work fine behind a firewall and some do not it's mildly retarded

I'm saying that its much easier to play with a real person then singleplayer with AI controlling Dom. Was fun playing hardcore co-op with you. I didnt have any lag problems at all.

Do you have an advantage as far as FOV if you have a HD TV vs standard television because of the aspect ratio?

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Sat Nov 11, 2006 8:17 pm

GH, does the 360 support UPNP?

Yes, but uPnP is a bit sucky for router interfacing, always has been. Not the 360s fault.

i got the kinks worked out of mine, thus far anything that does UPNP Has worked flawlessly with it..

Meh, if/when i get a 360 this may come in handy.

I had a reg tv when I first got the 360..its been almost a year now...but I think I remember it still being in widescreen...you just have black bars on the top and bottom.
