Eh? wtf, I did :/ I saw the ending credits after I defused the bomb and it was def. at hard.

edit; I just checked, but I was wrong, i finished it on normal a couple of times but aparently didn't go further than the first mission on hard :s

at least that explains why I found it so easy :')

Hehe. At least it wasn't some weird bug that made you redo the game on hard to get the achievement you should've already gotten.

Not to be a bitch here, but; is anyone else getting the constant "kicked out" message when the host isn't kicking you out?

Yes and host left session error. I hope they patch this game till it can't breathe. Or maybe just patching it so it worked better than it does now ;).

Simple question... Any tips or suggestions for being a Spy on MP?

I just cannot seem to get any good at it.

I am great as Upsilon, but truly horrible as a Spy. I have successfully hacked a total of 4 or 5 times in about 15 rounds of being a Spy. It is now starting to get a little frustrating to say the very least.

So does anyone have any suggestions or general tips overall? It would truly be appreciated.

I suck at Upilson, however i love being a spy. Take out as many lights as possible, try to get to know the good spots, best spots are usually where they can't hit you directly. Also if they are close or you are in direct sight of them give it 5 secs if they are still standing still move, chance are they have EMF vision on and scanning for you.

I was really good at the level on the demo but I suck on the levels on the disc. The trick is to pick a spot near a vent or easy escape, preferably dark, and sit there and hack. You have to know exactly where the enemy can come from/kill you from and stare at that place. The second you see a flashlight, be prepared to run away.

This would be much easier if you were in a room where there is only 1 entrance or in a place where a Merc can't reach. Keep watching the Merc's face and once he looks over at you, then run. No need to run before he finds you.

The key to Spying is to work with your team!! I can't stress this enough. It doesn't matter how "good" you are at being a spy, if you don't coordinate your attacks with your team then there's no way you're going to beat 3 Upsilon forces no matter how hard you try.

The best strategies, I found was to have 1 spy solo it to a far terminal and then have the two remaining spies target one terminal. Have the solo guy start hacking to distract one or maybe two Upsilon forces, then have one of the other two spies start hacking the closer target. Once they are spotted, the other spy (who should be at the same target) should start hacking from a different vantage point. Try to go at it as long as possible off/on until one of you has the full file hacked. The spy who gets the full file should make a run for it towards the base, once that spy is at a fair distance the Upsilon forces should be long gone from that target and the remaining spy should complete his file download... then just repeat as needed.

I found that this worked great, but the key is to get a good squad of people willing to cooperate (which is why I play with RL Friends, mostly) but I'll be more than happy to go at it with a fellow Neowinian. Just send me a message! :D

... as for Upsilon... I pretty much suck at that... but I'm sure I'll get better once I get to know the maps a little more, I'm still learning them.

I don't see you taking out 11 guys on Motorway 90! :laugh:

Man, I was like killing them all and the game ended because they lost all of their lives. No joke.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Thanks for the tips guys.

The totally sad thing is, I pretty much knew exactly what you were all saying to do already. It is just I cannot execute it all very well just yet.

I think I just need to practice some more as a Spy. I usually have no problem being an Upsilon in matches since I am good at them, so I play them more often than not, especially since it seems so many people hate playing them, I just volunteer to play as one so a match can get started. Now I am just going to make sure I play as a Spy as much as possible, and pretty much just practice, practice, practice.

Thanks again everyone. It is appreciated. :yes:

[PeterClark]

okay, this is retarded.

I'm back in the HQ after the

Cruise Liner

mission.

At the end of this level where Emele

blows the ship up, and you have to choose if you blow it up, jam it, etc etc

the cutscene just appears to loop -- they just stand around me clapping... and nothing else? I can't move or anything!

Q: How many hours would this take to complete, including any Video / rendered sections, doing the missions properly?

I did it in about 4-5 hours on normal, watched all movies, had to redo some sections though because I got spotted and wanted to get the 100% rating.

Ok, I had heard it was short, but this is coming close to HL2:EP1.

Might get in on the PC as it's ?15 cheaper.://

Cheers.

What is the best way to pick locks? It takes me forever to do so, and basically all I do is wiggle the left stick until it unlocks, and I have no rhyme or reason behind how I wiggle it. So is there a way to actually pick the lock correctly?

To answer your original question, yes there is a simple way of doing it.

All you need to do is spin the left stick round in a circle as slow as you can until the lock pick engages, then hold it still at that point. You should also get a rumble in the gamepad at this point. Then just gently move the stick back and forth until it unlocks that bit of the lock. Then repeat until all the segments have been picked.

Not a problem at all, just remember to keep the stick pushed out, don't let it return to the upright if you can help it.

:cool:

[Post-It Note]

Lock picking has been the same ever since the first SC. It's always at the four corners of the analog stick. Of course, it's a little pointless since you get the

automatic lock pick

if you finish one of the star objectives.

4-5 hours? I've been playing on easy for about an 1 hour a day for like a week and a half and I'm only at the part where I just

jammed the bomb on the ship

[DigitalN.]

I beat it in about 7-8 hours and I would consider myself a decent gamer, but 4-5 is not true. you must have ran through the entire game,

[Seabroo]

4-5 hours isnt actually unreasonable. Think about it like this, there are ten levels, i took on average around 35 minutes on each level, which makes it just under 6 hours, and i wasnt rushing through or anything, often taking my time lurking in the dark. Also, that was on normal, so i guess easy would be a bit shorter, and hard a bit longer. But it really is a very short game...
