Actually, there are trophies that require you to get all territories. Also, you need XP for upgrades and they really help. Not to mention that to get one of the upgrades you have to do good or bad side missions.

PS - 1000 trophies!!!!!!

Jboy.

^hey, come on. Take pride in yourself.

We both posted the maps several pages ago. Tell him to go look for it.

@jboy u should platinum it reasonably easy as all the trophys apart from stunts are straight forward and hard aint really hard at all i felt.
to keep track of shards etc you have to be out the game and check your save but when you hit roughly 300 shards it starts to tell you on screen every time you collect them from then on :)

The only part of Hard mode that was a slight pain was getting enough EXP for all of the upgrades, since the amount of EXP you get on Hard is reduced.

44% on socom im slowly getting to the promised land of the platinum :) anyone else have it apart from football fan and getrdone?
i need to get a team together to achieve the 15 no damage medal :P

o yeh i need that part. Will be easy to get just stick around in a private match untill everyone leaves.

Ive got 7% but, ive done all the assualt, shotgun, sinper and sub machine gun. I just need to get the kills which isnt hard just takes time.

I will definitely do that part of the trophy with you, dont miss me out!

@football fan my brother has a copy so just need one or two others as then everyone can get the medal who needs it, if it werent for that stipulation i would be on easy street lol
im on the last weapon medals for all the guns apart from assault which iv done, hopefully soon i will have pistol and shotgun to add to it.

i hate the suiciders though when there the last in the match and rather kill themselves then allow you the extraction or escort rrrrrrr! lol 2500 kills to go and 250 wins to go

Shotgun is easy!

And when your in Quick match dont leave when everyone else does. Sometimes theres a level 0 n00b who remains and is "greened up" you do the same and enter the match 1 vs 1. Very very funny :D

Looks like Star wars will get a trophy patch.
