I'm having a heck of a time trying to find the last 42 notes in showdown town. I looked all over. I printed out a list so hopefully I can find them tonight.

Like I said earlier I do think Nuts and Bolts rocks but at the same time some control and camera frustrations have taken it down a notch in my book. But for 40 dollars, it's gold. Altough I feel stupid for not pre-ordering it and getting the XBLA code.

Left 4 Dead is going to be a tight race. Way to go Grahamhsu, didn't even realize you snuck up to 1st place.

Some of the achievements I don't know about. I can't get sneak past all witches because offline the AI likes to run up and annoy her every time and online seems like someone always alerts her. No survivor gets puked on or takes damage from a special infected is about impossible.. Expert is doable I guess but I have had the worst luck so far with the games being dropped. I've also had bad luck with the big drag, all 4 dead ones, and incapacitate a survivor who entered and left a safe room. Also can't get the one where you leave the safe room to help someone, I was 10 feet away from doing it last night and the game dropped :(

I don't think 53,000 kills is possible in the time limit unless you guys figure out a way to tape up controllers and cheese that one. Most I have is 6 thousand maybe 7 by now.

@ sublime, so are the achievements hard overall, as in, do you get a decent number just naturally by playing through? Because I am considering getting the game, and quite easy achievements might help!

My achievement hunting in Gears isn't going so well...... I failed on wave 45 recently, and I still have 5 meatflags to capture, and about 4 guardian rounds to win... and I haven't even started on wingman.

Oh, and I have another 67,000 kills to get for seriously

@sublime78, I got "Do Not Disturb" playing No Mercy on easy with the AI. There was a bit of luck involved. The director's placement of the 3 witches weren't in the middle of the path so I just ran as far away from the witches as possible and the AI followed.

The achievement that's pissing me of is Cr0wned. I swear I get the witch's attention every single time and fire right at her head with the auto-shotty and yet it never kills her in 1 shot, always 2.

I tried playing expert with the AI and it's a joke. I can get out of the subway in no mercy but the AI is worthless after that. The 5 hardest achievements in the game (Untouchables, Unbreakable, Zombicidal Maniac, What Are You Trying to Prove?, and Nothing Special) you need 3 good, dedicated human players.

Also an easy way to get "Back 2 Help" is start No Mercy on expert with AI. Get to the first safe house and quickly run in and out, run far enough away from the safe house so the AI will follow. Then kill all infected around, when its clear, shoot one of the survivor AI with the shotgun, help them up and return to safe house. That's how I got it.

@ Munkeh111, there's about 450 easy gs, 350 more that's a challenge and the remaining is hard.

@Munkeh111, yeah, a lot can be gotten pretty easily but the hard ones are pretty hard. Some are luck based.

@eNamrah, I need that kind of AI Director luck, it hates me. Last night I made it up to the end of act 3 on no mercy sneaking by all the witches and then the AI threw a Tank and a witch at me at the same time and my computer survivors triggered her. For CrOwned, I got it pretty easy, just equip the shotgun, find a witch without zombies around, sneak directly up behind her crouched with light off, when she stands up, she has to stand up, shoot her in the neck. Worked second try, haven't done it since then though.

Thanks for the tip on back 2 help, I was thinking something like that might work because of friendly fire, my problem was not trying it on Expert.

I agree the AI is useless for Expert difficulty.

God *! Left 4 Dead is so annoyingly *$#%ing hard on Expert. I just love spending 5 hours and getting no where!! lol.

@eNamrah, back 2 help tip worked like a charm.

put duke nukem 3d on the platium list...just got 200/200 gamerscore!!

So whos getting the Gears 2 new maps for -ugh- 800 MS points? Im still hooked on multiplayer and will just get them but I feel superiorly ripped off. wasnt a big Halo or COD multiplayer fan, were the map packs this expensive and this slender before?



@kowenicki, nothing to be sorry about, well done and keep it up! Although the COD turnout was very low compared to COD4.

@jpain, all Plats will be decided by Machina when the next season starts and I will prob only update the Plats for retail games one last time this week.

I would never waste money on this game. Epic has shown their lack of respect for the people who bought this broken game by releasing a rip off map pack before they even put out a patch that fixes this laggy, shitty matchmaking piece of garbage multiplayer.

I wish I knew who the amatuer programmers were who worked on the multiplayer so I could personally spit in their faces.
