more on apache air assault.

[Symonator]

was searchin some gameplay for apache air assault (hind) bt couldn't find any.. anyways i came across this:

[youtube][/youtube]

look at that for a gaming room lol

[Symonator]

got the game today been on it since 11:30am lol lol.. just come off it.

Been flying all the aircraft i unlocked and the standard you get from the beginning.

apache 64 longbow
apache ah-1
hind
firescout.

they all rock.

lovin the hind, it feels very good to fly..
well they all feel great on a flight stick, got used to it now, still get a bit of torque pulling but it's easy to correct.

free flight lets u fly any level set up enemies or just fly around practising, so been doing that alot, just finished up the missions that were on the demo aswell.

Easy trophies if you want them, such as finish X level.
Some little tricky though like "cause a ripple effect" or "kill x amount of enemies in 1 burst" etc etc.

i got hit on lord of war on my rotars and left engine, my heli was pratically leaning, i don't know how i managed to finish that level lol, trying to fly back to base was like trying to fly through wet cement.

the engines sound great though, gunna upload some vids of free flight so people can see the different heli's.. glad i bought this now £30 ftw.

one level "the amazon river" looks good, especially just crusin over the top of the river or tree tops..

1 bad point so far.. awful sound bug after an hour or so.. the only sound that is audible is outside the helo.. can be annoying in a mission when you can't hear your engines or weapons, since i fly in cockpit only...it's very distracting.

Co-op it is then..

I cancelled my Play pre-order and ordered from ShopTo. I posted this morning, so fingers crossed for tomorrow

you'll get it tomorrow fo' sure.

ShopTo just got themselves a new regular customer
Sorry, Play - you snooze you lose.

Co-op later Sy?

P.S: great work with the quote in quote Dave :ninja:

[Symonator]

gg's tonight states but i am kicked out the psn, and cannot get back on.
(not any account).. times out.

Been tryin for ages..still trying..

edit.. got back on in the end.

On another note, that white shark mission is bloody annoying me

[Symonator]

also reading the forums over at yuplay and that guy asking about firmware and not updating, blatent jailbreaker lmfao.

[InfiniteStates]

Yeah good games
The co-op is fun, although we've yet to find a mission of the kind I would expect, i.e. just 4 Apaches versus a shitload of ground forces, with maybe air support.

I've always had a soft spot for canyon runs though, so they were pretty cool. And I liked that river run too, where you had to stay under 200ft, so we'll have to go back to that.

It's quite amusing how many people have problems with that Heavy Metal missions, yet we just breezed through it. LOL noobs...


As for that Shark campaign mission... I think it basically boils down to accuracy (with the Hydras). For the first set of guys, let your gunner take them out so you have a full load of Hydras when you go to the rigs.

In most cases, sling 2 Hydras at a boat then move on to another target. Don't hang around to verify the kill. And don't venture too far from your rescue boats.

In a couple of waves the game will distract you with one or two boats from one direction, and a massive wave from another. Send Hellfires out to the small wave, and use cannon on the larger wave until they get nearer. Then switch to Hydras. Cannon is remarkably effective, even at range (if you can see it hit the sea, it's in range - and those boats explode with just one hit).

Also, don't forget that hostiles are only lit up on your seemingly 360 radar when they are in a cone in front of you. So you have to keep looking around when it's quiet (I found FLIR best for this).

Like I said - it's mainly about weapon accuracy and not getting drawn away from the rigs. I'm fucking dreading it on veteran difficulty though! I'll have to squeeze in a landing or two to replenish...

...unless I can eek more kills out of the 30 mike mike :ninja:


EDIT: looks like you got DC'ed at an unlucky moment - http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/113/1131025p1.html

Found out a cool thing tonight - Hellfire ripple shot...

Select a target as per normal, then hold X (or whatever target select is). A 'V' will appear on it (like the UAV mission we tried). You can then tap target select again to choose another target. Repeat this up to 8 times (you can do it more than 8, but you only got 8 Hellfires).

Then let 'em rip with one tap of the fire button - it looks like an anime film LOL

[Symonator]

also if u hold your fire button the camera follows the missile
some co op tonight? record some more for youtube, i think heavy metal could do with being put up.

[InfiniteStates]

Yeah, for sure - I'll be on in a minute or two.

[Symonator]

just been playing for the past 4 hours.
its 2:40am now lol.

Played nearly all squad online missions and there are one or two i really like.. just gota do upstream and another for the trophy though.
What is the hidden trophy states? do you know...

I can probably plat this game, it's just devoting the time for specifics really, gota go through the rest of campaign, but i am in no rush to do so.

[InfiniteStates]

I would of had the platinum last night, except it seems the trophy relating to secondary objectives in the campaign is bugged :pissed_off:

There is a work around, but it's a pain in the arse as it means I'll have to do that bloody Shark in the Water mission again. If you got this trophy on your campaign play through, you're laughing. Especially if you have someone to do the local co-op trophies with you.


If you need a hand with any of the Squad Ops, give me a shout, although I did that Upstream one on my own. You know how we kept getting disqualified even though we were sure no one was above 200ft? You also get a 30 second timer whenever you run into enemies - you have to kill them all before they report your location...

There only 2 hidden trophies, one of which you've no doubt got (Get to da choppa)...? The other one is pretty cool - you just have to "play" the credits. I say "play" because you are in the gunner seat. It took me a while to realise that you could actually control it LOL

[Symonator]

Shark in the Water mission again.

30 second timer whenever you run into enemies - you have to kill them all before they report your location...

:sicko :sicko :sicko :sicko :sicko :sicko :sicko

god dam shark in the water, such a pain for me.
I keep failing it. annoying drive your car to my house and come and finish it for me lmfao.

lol ~ upstream and 30secs.. great

[InfiniteStates]

LOL I bit the bullet and got the platinum tonight...I backed up my save and deleted it. Then started the campaign again. Did the shark mission first time lmao. And didn't even die...

If you really can't do it, I actually could do it for you - as long as there's no trophies attached (although if there are, I could log in as you I guess). You can copy your save file to USB and post it somewhere. But I really can't believe someone with your chopper skills can't get it done...

Oh and I found out something quite cool tonight - you know that first co-op mission where you race up the valley? I never noticed before, but that is actually PvP. I noticed this red dot following me so thought "fuck it", turned round and put an ATA in his face... it was one of the other players LMAO.

[Symonator]

thats pilot wings isnt it? pvp lol.. try that next time, guna spend a bit of time on the game tomorrow.. so see what i can do with the rest of the campaign and that shark in the bloody water mission, them boats are overpowered. lol.




Anyways, a mission i really enjoyed so far..was over and out.. in the jungle protecting the convoy then the medvac covering, onto some hostile targets,and some gunnery... quite liked that.

[InfiniteStates]

...them boats are overpowered. lol.

PMSL yeah they need to nerf that death from one 30mm shell thing right quick!

Maybe you should record what you're doing? Then maybe we can see where you go wrong...? I would love to be able to record how I do it. One day, when I stop playing this shit and get on with my iPhone games, I'll have the money to buy one of those recorder thingys.

That the one where you cover a load of infantry as they run through a farm or something? (Hard to tell what it is through FLIR LOL). Yeah I liked that one too. In fact I like most of them until about the last three - they are pad-breakers.
