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

OK, it'd let everyone else know that I rock then.

You seem pretty self-assure already.. :P

Because I rock.
Also, the only edition of NGC I have is August I think (the one that came out mid-july).
One of the timesplitters challenges is to get as many bananas as possible in the banana chomp level as the flaming wood golem.
I can get 24 (what you need for a gold), it tells me I've got a platinum, but I don't get the platinum, and it finishes as soon as I collect the 24th banana (even though I travel over a banana after it tells me I've succeeded), so I want to know how some people can seem to manage to get 25 and 26 on the leader board.
Munn = not a happy chappy.

I strangely found that qyuite easy and got a platinum on my first go. Just dont talk to me about the assault levels tho', I find them very difficult...

That's the only level I don't have a gold/platinum on.
I can only manage about 6500-7000 points usually.
Boo.

Depends on what setting you played it on, there's a bit more longetivity on Normal/Hard. It's pretty pointless playing it on Easy...

I've had this for ages on Xbox, although considering that the Xbox isn't exactly short of FPS games, it really hasn't been played much. However, I started playing through it and it is pretty damn fun. Getting mainly golds just now. Completed the story mode which was a bit short and could have done with a bit more of a plot, especially if the franchise is going to be extended.
Still I liked it, certainly not bad for £7 new. Makes for a nice change of pace from Ghost Recon.

Dambusters really annoys me.. but I've left that for the moment. 5 Characters to get now, I got Platinum on that Golum beating up thing at the Site, that'd been annoying me for ages.
