This is really making me want xbone Vanquish 2.

The pearly white, ring shaped city in Killzone: Shadow Fall is very reminiscent of Vanquish. Got me hankering for a sequel with those sorta shinies.

I'll try and play this sometime before the Friday deadline. The score that Billy has kindly nabbed off the leaderboard is from my initial campaign run (i.e. no re-tries).  Bollockoff has set the bar pretty high though.

My pleasure, now get playing!

Damnit bollockoff, I just got 22000, only 2000 more to catch you but I can't see myself getting it, that was a near perfect run, I must be missing something!

Has anyone managed to save the first dude? The one that gets killed at the top of the steps.

I think boosting straight to the first 2 guys and headshotting them, then boosting around the corner and lobbing a grenade + shooting it in mid air clears the area just as the guy gets killed. but i haven't managed to save him so far.

Translation: 7350pts after fifteen attempts.

I'm gonna finish my hard run of LoS when we get to that.

Right, I've got further this time than I did before. Seems I gave up on Act 3.4, a fairly boring sniper rifle/monorail section. All the levels on this act have been very good except for most of that one. I have reached some big boss thing on 3.6 now.

That section is the only time I bothered with the sniper. I like the fact Vanquish's sniper rifle is pretty shit as it plays to the tone.

It's underpowered against anything that isn't a Gorgi as headshots on Romanovs do fuck all considering the HMG is also a one shotter to the head. And that's full auto with a big magazine. It fills a long range niche that isn't really in the game since most of your fighting should be happening close to mid.

The Anti-Armour Pistol in the tri-weapon pack is ace, though. It's basically the same thing without a scope and a faster rate of fire. Shame the tri-weapons don't appear in the tactical challenges.

Damn, I am not as good at this as I thought, score hovering around the 15,000 mark.

Still I do love this game. I like the replay value. Pity the game doesnt quite facilitate it as you still have to pass cut scenes etc. when replaying.

I had a crack at this last night. 17,000 and a little over 8mins. I think I can do 20,000.

I was right. Just had 20 mins before I was due to go out so had a quick try.

Managed a 20150. Rank 36. Which was nice.

I dunno. Perhaps not that many people have gone for highscores on single levels like this. I reckon 20k's a good score on this one, but it's nothing special. I'd say around the top 20 scores on 360 are really impressive.

Also, suggestions for what to do next week. I'm thinking of doing 3 more targets like this, each a week long, to take us to the middle of September. Perhaps the next one could be another single level from Act 2 or 3 on Normal, then we could try one on Hard, and finally one of the Challenges (which I haven't tried yet). At the same time there's also an overall target of best total score finishing the game on Normal to work towards by the end of the run (15/09).

I've played through Act 2 and most of 3 now. I'd like to avoid on rails sections, and another Argus fight, seeing as we've just done one. 2.1 is a nice short straightforward one. 2.6 is good boss fight. I also liked 3.1, but it has one of those annoying visor cutscenes at the beginning. Waddayathink?
