Multiplat Transformers: WFC

Re: Transformers : WFC

SP is great, enjoyed it alot playing by myself. Have played through a few a chapters again since in Co-OP.

Your tactics have to change a bit in SP to Co-Op as your team mate AI can take infinite damage however they don't dish out much back.

hahah they barely dish out anything!

in the third chapter i played as soundwave but that was probably a mistake as he holds the repair gun and that is the best thing the teammates are good for...cannon fodder and to heal you if you need it.
definitely the worst choice to play as if you're not playing co-op. (a person with repair ray as secondary weapon since you want somebody to help you out)

i've been playing it INCREDIBLY slowly only playing a chapter per play session but also not playing it/any game most nights.
up to the last chapter in the decepticon mission playing it on hard.
quite challenging and awesome boss fights.
i'll probably beat the decepticon campain tomorrow night or then start the autobots campaign

Yep don't play medic in SP . Played MP Co-Op through the flying chapter in the Autobot campaign and the Medic comes in handy.

Re: Transformers : WFC

have the day off and just beat chapter 5. (which is the end of the decepticon campaign....all chapters are long besides #5 so far)

the boss fights in this game rank up around the top that i've played imo....def not THE top but they are excellent nonetheless.

will go get some junk food for lunch then jump on to the autobots campaign.

glad i decided to play it on hard, an approach i think i'll take with alot more games in future.

Re: Transformers : WFC

How many times did it take you to beat Omega?


P.s : Boss fights get better in the Autobot campaign

Spoiler

the chapter 4 fight against him i didn't die at all but it took at least 15 to 20 mins to take him down....in chapter 5 i only died once which came out of nowhere after about 1 minute and it was because i wasn't moving since those rockets were coming out of his shoulders so i just kept moving around in the car form and aimed for turretts then his head to take him down....then after i took out that portion of him i remained as the vehicle and just kept moving around and shooting his chest when it was facing me so i never felt in danger of being hit.
the bosses before omega supreme were a shitload harder imo...even general play sometimes was difficult (when you just rush in)

I started to get excited reading this thread, so I looked into it and..... no split screen.

I am disappoint

Re: Transformers : WFC

ok multiplayer in this is so ridiculously fast paced and awesome i still can't get over it.

i played some conquest then for the first time and never have i had to try and catch so many bases. they just constantly change factions in a matter of 20 odd seconds!
it's the most hectic conquest mode i've ever been involved with and if it wasn't for the excruciating lag then i would be in MP heaven!

this gamestyle suits my gaming specialties to a T but because of the horrible lag (which some games saw me not able to even run up stairs!) i'm stuck in the middle-top range scorewise going negative 95% of the time.
if it wasn't for losing 80% of the one on ones i'd be absolutely SMASHING IT!

there's simply not enough people playing it on the ps3....

Re: Transformers : WFC

i just searched for games in worldwide AND regional and they both show the EXACT same figures/amount of people playing online....
which, for the record is a HUMONGOUS 1145!!!!!!!!!! .........
only approximately 60,000 people have even played online worldwide on the ps3 which is ridiculous for such an amazing game.

to think that garbage mw2 rode the coattails of cod4 to 8+ million or whatever the figure is and this awesome game can't even get over 60k on the ps3

That's an amazing number actually. Only sold about 80,000 units so far, so that percentage is VERY good.

Obviously though it's ridiculous this title is selling so low. About 200,000 over the two consoles.

The one truly great title that Activision has and they don't even market it...like AT ALL.

There's a big market for Transformers and Transformers games. Even the shit one's have sold more than a million copies on the DS and PS2 of all consoles. Ridiculously stupid that a title that is worlds better than those abortions of movie game tie-ins will only do a respectable amount of sales (if that).

I only get about 4-5K online worldwide however always get a Australian game thanks to the matchmaking.

Scout is my fav class, love coming out of cloak taking out a few then driving off again before I get attacked. Up to level 18 for scout.

Just picked it up. Am only on Chapter 2 of Decepticons but damn this game is awesome.

the time i was online playing it certainly didn't help but god damn....
right now there is currently only 1227 players online but i dare say alot of them are aussie.
i might play an autobots chapter then jump online for a bit.

scout is actually the only class i havn't played as yet.
the majority of my time has been spent as a scientist....LOVE flying around and capping bases fast as hell with them!
tiny amount of health but awesome speed and abilities.

Re: Transformers : WFC

ok i'm getting very close to stopping playing mp now because of the lag....

the way i'm playing would see my going about 25-2 or thereabouts while capturing an absolute shitload of bases if i was in a full ping game but as it stands i'm only managing to break even a lil less than half the time.

the gameplay is so fun but i'm blasting full shotgun clips (AS THE SCOUT )right into the back of peoples heads only for them to turn around and nail me in a few bullets.....

WHY COULDN'T THIS GAME BE MORE POPULAR IN AUST!!!!?!??!?

Re: Transformers : WFC

Picked this up today from Big W for $61.

Just played the first 2 chapters through with caMo and boy is it good.

Confusing as **** at first as I wasn't really listening or looking at anything that I was being told so it took me a little while to understand what the hell to do. But once you get into it, it really takes hold.

The first chapter in itself was pretty damn awesome and epic for the opening of a game. Then you move onto the second chapter and it's even better!

Changing from vehicle to natural form is awesome too. Flying is amazing and feels very natural.

Also just finished a game of online and I can see where caMo is coming from. It's amazingly quick. You change form instantly and zip over to the base, it all just works so fluidly and well.

I didn't notice any real lag, but I'm not really sure on that either as I had the Plasma Cannon which is a terrible gun that you have to charge up and then let rip a massive bolt so I wasn't really ever sure if anything was hitting or not. That being said I went 9 and 9 and was the 2nd best scorer. Also managed a killstreak of 3 as well which was surprising.

Only had 4 people in the match but it felt right as well, especially on the map which was fairly small as it was.

For $54, $59, $61 or whatever price you can find it for. This is hands down THE BEST value for money game you can get this year. Not only are there 2 campaigns that can be done with 2 others in co-op, there's escalation mode (horde mode) plus an excellent competitive multiplayer that just needs numbers to back it up.

Again as caMo has already touched on as well, the trophy integration is superb. Not only do you get notification in-game when you're someway to getting a trophy objective (For example you have to get Autobot symbols throughout the Decepticon campaign, as you shoot them down a little icon will pop up saying 1/25) so you never lose track. But the objectives within the campaign open up more fun gameplay options.

Just a terrific game and if you have the money for any game this year, right now this is what I am recommending. May not be my GOTY (which will probably stay as God of War 3 until LBP2), but it is well and truly the best value for money you will get all year (again maybe until LBP2).

Yep took it from Gears however as you said works well.

Re: Transformers : WFC

about time you got the bloody game!

and nice work getting that score with the plasma cannon...that weapon sucks and is tough to use. powerful but a bit to slow...
it might've been similar lag to one of the games when i got 18-10 (easily best score and felt lucky as) which i would've rated at about 2 bars on cod4.

Yeah never really used that weapon, usually go with the Null Ray / Shotgun combo as scout. Set the Extra Damage coming out of Cloak perk as well. It means one shotgun blast and melee sword will even take down the Soldiers.

WOW!

not that i needed confirming but now i know i'm lagged to the shithouse haha

at minimum with the scouts shotgun i have to use an entire clip right up on them and then melee for even the bloody scientists to go down!
it doesn't help that my net here sucks but sheeeeeeeesus.

also when i use the soldier and the tornado melee spinning attack (which close in is the most lethal ability in the game i'd dare say) no matter who it is it seems to take 2 to 3 strikes with it whereas i seem to go down on first hit...i'm guessing i get hit the same but i only see the first hit and on full ping i've gone down after the 2nd or 3rd but it just takes me down on the time of full ping as it wouldn't make sense me shooting them down after i've been melee killed.

Does the PS3 have the regional search? Also you can host it yourself, just back in and out till it starts your own room and everyone joins you after a few min (usually Aussies).

Also the one shot kill is a head shot though easier to pull off up close with a shotty.

my net isn't good enough to host anymore...even on cod4 when i get host now games drop out half way through but i retain host then i maybe get a full game then the next one drops so hosting this isn't really an option for me.

yeh i always aim for the head/upper body in all games...just it's hard to hit the head when it's not where it is on my screen

It does have a regional search. I was using it last night and it kept trying to get me to host games but nobody was joining fast enough (a whopping 150 people were on conquest at the time). I changed it to worldwide and got into a game super fast, don't know what region I was put in but it definitely felt pretty good.
