Finally completed the first co-op campaign mission. Two of us finally managed to do it without dying and unlocked the achievement. It didn’t seem that hard when we finally did it, which was odd as it took us ages. The trick in the end was to split up, so we could come at the enemy from different angles. Very tense stuff. And very, very good stuff, even if some of the advanced features of the singleplayer game aren’t present.

Overall, that was a most excellent game. Really, really excellent. A few difficulty spikes and the odd mission objective bug, but nothing too bad. Just one of those games that feels right.

Overall it took me 13 hours and 18 minutes, which seems to be a fair amount of time longer than most people.

Then I played a Team Elimination game with randoms and got killed. A lot. Oh well, it was my first game. And I did get one kill, which saved my pride, three seconds from the end of the match.

The only annoying thing is that I can’t seem to change my location anywhere and the game thinks I’m in the USA.

As is playing co-op over the Internet. I’ve done a few random elimination rounds with Ade now and this evening we tried the first mission of the co-op campaign. We didn’t manage it. Well, we did in the end, but only after I’d given us infinite lives. We really need to do it properly some time, though.

It is, as many people have been saying, technically the best looking game on any system ever.

It also plays well. Six hour session after first turning on well.

It’s bloody hard, though. I’ve just finished a mission called “Mayday! Mayday!” and it took me hours.

Haven’t even tried the multiplayer yet.
