This thread has been linked to the game 'Timesplitters 2'.
Been playing this a lot recently and I seem to have reawoken my love for it. Multiplayer is just so brilliant, there's so many different modes and options it still feels fresh today.
Been trying out a few new game modes, Leech in particular, and also Shrink. Any game with a team of Monkeys and Robofish with Anaconda playing in the background deserves a medal. It looks hilarious when you have one-shot kills on, slappers only and there's a group of different sized monkeys punching the crap out of each other. The Snowman screaming "I'm melting!" as you lay into him with the flamethrower is genius.
I really can't believe I stopped playing this for so long, it's brilliant. It's no Goldeneye, but still one of the best FPS' I've played.
Oh, and WS, it's brilliant, so shush. :-P

Might give that a try later.

I was quite suprised when that came out as Gold for me, I just stuck to the left most the time, ignored the monkeys that were going to shoot up above me and stuck to the ones heading straight for the dam. Practice I think is all that's needed, but I agree it is a b*tch.

YES.
All Challenges and Arcade Leagues won with Gold or Platinum.
I rock :D

That bit never caused me any problems :S
Anyhoo, found out I still had Sergio's last stand on Silver today :\ But after many, many tries with no scores above about 1600, I worked out how you could put yourself out by aiming the Fire Extinguisher at your feet (*forum shouts "DUH"* :D) so platinumed that.
K, so two Silvers to go.. Ice Station Capture the Bag - just one bag away from Gold :( and the sniping melons on monkeys in the Circus level.

To avoid the sentrybots I need a wee bit of luck - if you kill them they'll respawn in your way, so you need to avoid them, and if they kill me before I get into the main building, I'll just restart. As for the guns, I only destory about 7 overall, it's not that difficult.
As for Men In Grey, I'm working on it, 1 minute 2.1 seconds is my new record.
Won't be long before I platinum it.
The only thing in that level that EVER causes problems is when I go to blow up the computers, there's always a Lawyer or something standing in the entranceway, so I need to back up, shoot them, then run in.
Bah.

Why don't you use the laser gun? Put up the shield and you don't have to shoot a bloody thing till you get past the rocket launcher room.
I got Gold on it last night, a time of 3 minutes something which I'm very happy about. Picking up the Plasma Autorifle I gunned the laser turret in the right hand corner of the outside area, then when that was down hugged the wall right past it to the doors, grabbed the armour and gun, went in, blew up the turret in there, up the ramp to get the Homing Launcher.
From then on it was just how far I could get without getting killed, a couple of attempts taking out the Laser Cannons and I was down onto the third objective which I did pretty quickly, I didn't shoot anything once I got down the spiral staircase, just legged it into the Finish.
One Bronze (Ice Station Capture the Bag) and three Silvers (the last two Monkey Challenges and the Ice Stationn Domination against the SentryBots)to go.

My mate is good at Timesplitters... but he got a lot of the platinum's etc... via a cheat disc.
How the hell did you destroy all those guns in time AND avoid the Sentry bots... they almost always killed me.
