I still haven't changed from the default.

I changed my bounding box size, bumped up the sensitivity a bit, and max'd the vertical look constraints. Would like a better control for my melee attack, as currently it spazzes out my view when I try to smash someone. Ends up in a lot of flailing around...

Here is what I Have (from what I can remember)

weapon change is mapped to Wii remote motion, gernade nunchuck still, melee A button, shoot b button, lock on down on control pad.

I use the back trigger on the nunchuck

btw, I'll post this in the appropriate thread as well, but here's my Conduit FC: 3051 - 5637 - 4480.

EDIT: Fixed

You can increase your vertical look?!? Looks like I have to change soon, then.

Yea... I will definitely have to change vertical look. It always seems the flying things are just out of view

Any cheap UK deals on this yets?

Grr...I was partway through the second level (I was at the part with the gas tanks) when suddenly my controls started spazzing out, my view was all blurry, and I couldn't access my Pause Menu anymore. My nunchuck had been acting up earlier, so I decided to reset the game and see if it was all working right again. Well, **** when I selected my profile on the start screen I accidentally deleted it, which also deletes all your saved Friend Codes and promotional codes. Now I also have to reconfigure the controls again. ****!

After (again) putting in a whole slew of Codes of all sorts, I've managed to work my way back up to the third level and I think I finally have the controls where they work well for me. The turning speed still isn't quite where I'd like it, but it's serviceable now. I've relegated Melee to the 1 button, since I don't think that's going to get much use anyway (though I would have liked to put it on a button that would) unless Jump is barely used at all in the entire game (which is currently set to the C button right now). I also followed GoldenPhoenix's lead and set Change Weapons to the Wiimote Thrust, which does work very well indeed.

You need melee in online thats for sure. Only things I have changed are sensitivity up, bounding box is smallest it can be. Melee is Nunchuck motion, + is grenade, and SE is Wiimote motion since I won't use it online.

What about jumping? I haven't even seen a reason to use it in Single-Player yet, let alone Multiplayer. I'd like to have Melee on a button I actually use, but I just can't find a place for it that I don't need for something else.

Jumping has a major use in multiplayer if you want to stay alive.

Yep you jump then punch to live....

High Voltage needs to fire their level designers before they really start serious work on The Grinder. The Jefferson Memorial...good grief. 5 Conduits with drones continually spawning out of them (with drones already in place) with explosive drones as well vs...you and 2 health kits scattered around the area. I've tried this at least a dozen times now, and although I can take out a couple of those conduits they always manage to slaughter me in the process. Yeah, I have a rocket launcher...so what? I can't get within decent firing range without getting slaughtered. Ditto for grenades.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #2090 on:** July 07, 2009, 08:47:46 PM »

that was one of the hardest moments i know of so far... I am only on the 7th level though.

But yea i tried it about a dozen times. i eventually got it. I guess its just luck of the draw

Yeah, I finally managed to get past it, but it was pure luck when I managed to get past the guards and take out 3 of the Conduits, and then managed to barely slog my way out to the medkit over by the Human ammo stockpile outside the memorial. And apparently I didn't find all the secret messages (I did find all the Trust Datas) so I'm going to have to go back through that level again later. Oh joy. And I scoured that level top to bottom, finding 3 messages and no sign of any others.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #2092 on:** July 07, 2009, 09:00:37 PM »

Yea i remember that whole battle consisted of my on almost zero health just running as fast as i could, bashing the drudge, and praying for Health Packs.

As for the Messages/Data Disks I really haven't cared much for collecting them. I usually just let them go. If i want to i will replay at some point and collect them then.

Oh god I hated that part. It was sooo annoying. I was ready to yell at the TV.

You know, I've watched a couple demonstrations of that area online, and it doesn't really seem that difficult...

*raises eyebrow*

And yet you haven't done it yourself? What was that about "ignorance" you were prattling on about in another topic?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #2096 on:** July 08, 2009, 01:32:07 AM »

I'm 75% through the game and the Jefferson memorial is the hardest area so far. You have to cover a lot of ground with constantly spawning enemies to take out the conduits and this isn't Doom; you don't move very fast.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #2097 on:** July 08, 2009, 02:21:19 AM »

melee is great for when you are blind and the enemy is near, great retreat device.. crouching works well in some areas that you want to hold down.. it also makes you a smaller target. I was playing with the control setup and one thing to note.. there is horizontal tweak and a cursor tweak. I bumped one of those to about 80 and it felt REAL REAL GOOD. So just keep in mind that features overlap, or perhaps even, maybe are called out incorrectly..

AV · « **Reply #2098 on:** July 08, 2009, 10:54:30 AM »

i'm curious about the secrets in the game.

I got a tiny % of the secret messages.

I got maybe 75% of the Blue Things.

If I go back into my file and look for them will the ones I already found be gone or will it reset ? If I only have 2 blue things left in a level will only 2 exist in the level now ? Or what ??

The Jefferson Memorial is pretty hard. I mentioned that a couple pages back I think. There is a trick to pretty much just blasting through it, you just need to be wary of your position, and where the closest health packs are (I think there are actually 3 of them).
