Guys I played up the 3rd level and just never picked up again. This was about a week after launch. Tell me it gets better? I just didn't get a Perfect Dark/Time splitters 2 feel from it right off the bat.

Havnt played multiplayer either.

I enjoy the single player. It's responsive.

JRNN · « **Reply #2430 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:41:51 PM »

The single player if very fun and hard

Ya well I turned the Diff down to easy. haha Then I enjoyed my run and gun FPSing. So I didn't have to do one room over and over again.

i thought i saw a ryan pop in and out. A lot of people like the last 3rd of the game from what I hear.

as far as settings go, i like letterbox style deadzone and I also found cranking everything to start at 50 for calibration except the thrust on the wiimote. Its cranked to 100. that way i barely move it and strike forward instead of moving it and spinning in a cirlce 8P

JRNN I should be able to add you to conduit tonight but i'm not sure if i'll be available for any games. Perhaps this weekend?

I haven't been on line since.. geez, how long ago was that time I played with Startos, Johnny, Maxi, Kraken and a few others? Musta been like a week or two after launch, no? But anyway, hearing about all these connection issues has me worried about trying to get on again. I don't want it to end up like Brawl where i stop playing the games main draw (multiplayer) because on-line is so buggy. Could it be because of an influx of hackers? The game was pretty damn smooth the first few weeks..

Whenever you want Easy

ill be playing some conduit later this after noon

BwrJim! · « **Reply #2436 on:** July 29, 2009, 11:22:31 AM »

actually, the only time you have connection issues is in public matches. I have not yet spawned into the cloudy waiting room in any private matches.

Yeah those 4 in a row black screens were public i havent seen it happen on a private thats good

EasyCure · « **Reply #2438 on:** July 29, 2009, 12:11:35 PM »

Well if thats the case then I won't have to fear my copy of the game collecting Wii Dust ^TM

I'd prefer to play the game "with friends" then in those public matches anyway, it's much more fun.

JRNN · « **Reply #2439 on:** July 29, 2009, 12:16:03 PM »

No chance to meet a hacker

Djunknown · « **Reply #2440 on:** July 30, 2009, 12:26:26 AM »

No chance to level up either.

I played a match of 11- FFA ASE American Football against my better judgment, but I got on a roll by running and dodging racking up the points. Next thing I know, I win the damn thing! I got a whole heap of EXP points.

Then I joined a team game where I got absolutely owned... $:-\$

The only match type that doesn't work in the public servers are CTF, or I guess CTASE. Without the ability to communicate with your team mates is an exercise in absurdity. I would to do a 12 player CTASE one of these days...

EasyCure · « **Reply #2441 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:09:15 AM »

What does leveling up do anyway?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #2442 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:19:19 AM »

It basically shows how much progress you have made in multiplayer. More kills,captures and wins=higher rank.

EasyCure · « **Reply #2443 on:** July 30, 2009, 11:22:30 AM »

Well i can live without that then. I don't even like leaderboards so this is no big whoop, i'll keep playing with you guys and taking solace in the fact that i'm an average player

decoyman · « **Reply #2444 on:** July 30, 2009, 01:53:54 PM »

Well, it's used for matchmaking, too, isn't it? So, as you get better, you'll still be, say, an unfillled bronze triangle, but you'll be matched up with other unfilled bronze triangle NEWBS, who you can then PWN.

Win-win!

Thats awesome. That means these hackers who have superduperultraubergoldplusplatinumhadsexandcameoutwithsomethingbetterthanboth ranks will NEVER ruin my game against newbs

Is there a way to get a penalty to put your rank back down?

In mario strikers and mario kart if you disconnect from a game in-play it docked points from you.

You don't get the points for that particular match. Why would you drop half-way through the match willingly unless you didn't care?

That's the thing I like about how HVS did the point system. Its not a public leaderboard, so there's no e-peens on grand display. It tracks your personal progress, and getting to the gold rank is feasible for everyone, though it may take longer for others. So there's no real plateau. You get 25 points here, 50 points there, next thing you know, its the next rank!

BwrJim! · « **Reply #2448 on:** July 31, 2009, 02:17:26 AM »

man, i tried to force the spawn glitch and had 5 successful launches. argh.. but its okay, the 6th match made it happen!

When you're ranked as high as I am '25 here and 50 there' don't do much for your rank.
