The Energon Pub

Alrighty!

I've dusted off my WFC disk and begun playing again. Thanks to the 20x experience "every day but holidays" that High Moon used to offer all my multiplayer classes are Prime 25's....and that leaves very little to drive me on to play..except for CHALLENGES.

that's right...those awful challenges you have for each class. can you IMAGINE the sheer gametime I've wasted trying to get someone to walk into my decoy trap only to have them bust free before I could plink them dead with my energon pistol? *I completed that one by the way...go me!*

Who has completed the most of these challenges? It's now my mission to complete ALL of them - hopefully before WFC2 comes out next year. Some are easy, some are MADDENING.

Does anyone else give a crap? sound off!

i was going to do them all but then said screw it...I had prime 25's for all my classes about a month after the game's release so i sold it....just recently (after being disappointed with DOTM game) bought it again for some escalation and MP...but not challenges lol

I'm hoping that by completing all of them I'll unlock full character customization...or maybe a less limited color palette!


who knows!

There ought to be SOMETHING as a reward for this endeavor.

About the challenges? Not really.
Ive been playing since the day it was released and I Primed out all my classes Long Ago. I admit I did get bored of it for awhile. So I would play Escalation to give me something different to do. Then I would do the story modes on different levels of difficulty and got my trophies for that. Then I searched for all the Decepticon and Autobot symbols in the story mode and got both my trophies for that. Then I got other trophies like "Paging Ratchet", "Beak Breaker", "Slugfest" and what not. Then I did put it to rest for a couple months as I was completely War for Cybertroned-out. Now Im back to playing Multiplayer alot again. But I don't really care for the challenges. You could spend weeks, months and mega-cycles trying to complete and collect every little single challenge and trophy there is to collect in this game and who has that much time. I just like being a Transformer and fighting, destroying and being at WAR.
I would pick a game like WFC any day over a game like Call of Duty.
You cant Transform and fly away in Call of Duty.

QFT! Best part of the game! You feel like such a badass flying in with Starscream, attacking and using shockwave, and then transforming and flying away!

After I got the platinum, I just said "Screw the challenges." Every one of my classes, except for my scientist, is primed out. I suggest you leave them where they lie and blow the crap out of some Autobots. Thats why we play the game, afterall...

Started to do the challenges while ago, actually. I've completed all with Scientist, wasn't that hard either, but the Scout ones are really giving me hard time. Especially the one in which you need to kill a jet with Plasma Cannon after marking. I almost got one, I was already cheering for success, but then my brother pointed I hadn't marked the guy. Needless to say, my mood dropped rapidly.

Still got plenty to do. Prime challenges are tough ones, especially the kill thing. My brother had once 24 kill streak, and it was so close that he would get the last kill, but the time ended. Frustrating.

same thing happened to me more than once...needless to say I quit doing challenges shortly thereafter

I think the most annoying challenges for me are the "Bullseye!" and "Bug Zapper" challenges. "Bullseye!" is especially tough, since it's rre that anyone marked still get to live afterwards.

Prime Mode Challenges are quite annoying as well. I already did the Leader and Scientist, but its seriously hard to make 4 7-kill streaks. WITH A SCOUT. I think the only place it's possible is in Conquest, and you still have to be sneaky to get the kills.

I don't count in the Soldier class, since it sucks.
