Haha, I usually go for any of the invis characters, so Air Raid/Skywarp, and hopefully Arcee/Slipstream by the end of today.

However I did make it to Escalation Wave 29 playing as Bumblebee.. that was a riot.

Arcee is my main so to speak. I find not many groups choose her though. Her invis. saved my ass many a time and even helped me win waves by myself. Yeah, when it comes to Slipstream I never get her cause people are very fast to pick her. Not that it matters cause those games don't usually last more than 30 min anyway. I've only made it to wave 16. I'm sure I could go higher but the groups always disband by then

that's why i can't play the game with randoms...i usually play with commited teams....i love escalation far more than gears' horde or halo's firefight...maybe it's cuz it's transformers....i'm always up for a game of escalation if anyone on xbox wants in...

send me an invite and i'll play

After a handful of Escalation rounds with sabrigami... Forsaken is pretty easy because opening up the entire map can be done in just under 10 rounds. Due to the size of the map, killing and dieing goes both ways. My main grief about the map is that the Overshield room is so freaking far away from everything.

District is loads more funner and exciting than Remnant, opening up the Overshield room and Sniper Rifle room is key (well for me at least). Then to get to the Scrapmaker room is quite tricky, going to need alot of teammate cooperation in terms of spending Power.

But mostly everything boils down to your teammates being together within the same area, not running around aimlessly unless you've got a cloaking character. Ultimately you can't solo these two maps like Broken Hope... I just wish I get to see past Wave 15 in these two maps before the next DLC. I really want to try getting far in Remnant but that's probably not happenin

And yay for being in the 1300's in Escalation Leaderboards on XBL..

very sure...try it in caps maybe that's it

Got ya

Yeah, I need to stop getting lost in forsaken Some of the random groups today were pretty flakey. I didn't have my headset on today but I'm pretty sure one guy was swearing at one point.

I did have fun though, I just need to work on my directional skills lol! My tag is sabrigami if anyone is looking for a semi decent team mate.

You mean I spelled my own tag incorrectly? Well don't I just feel like a smart cookie. I didn't even notice Must see if I can fix that.

A head set would be cool, mine came with the console. I look forward to our future co-ordination lol!

Yeah, I have to pay another 800 points to change it. Stupid Xbox At least now I know why I was asked how it was pronounced...

My gamertag is ceratoformers3.

Just got the Achievement on Broken Hope with some bros I met yesterday in Escalation. No idea if you hang out here, but Ninjor, Zen, and Nick? You my boys. And that death next to the overshield is still bullshit. Your gun barrel touched the icon. That totally counts.

After a couple of despicable rounds on the Decepticon Escalation maps, finally got a chance to play on Broken Hope with sabrigami and we basically lit it up. I went 14000+ with 250+ Kills and no one died till Wave 18... Would've lasted longer past Wave 19 if that Air Raid didn't always keep soloing... or the fact that he didn't pick up a Scrapmaker till Wave 14 o_O. But that was pretty cool, glad me and sabri were able to get past Wave 15 together.

That was awesome! He never got over shields either. We did amazing though. Yeah, all my previous rounds before playing with you were ridiculous. All matches where 1 guy had thousands of points and didn't open doors or anything. every match! It was getting silly, thank god you came Blurrz

I hope you get a mic soon so we can start making strategies and stuff.

Haha, yeah I think it's going to be better once I get the mic, so I don't have to shoot you to tell you that I bought you a Scrapmaker.

Oh man.. had some good runs with Sabri and Panzer. Thought we were going to go far in District but wamow.. Blackout in Scrapmaker room left us there with no way to heal/ammo against 2 Titans and a Brute. Made it to Wave 14 in Forsaken but because we had to survive through near death in Wave 10 (might I add, pretty crazy how I was able to clear that by myself) had to unlock all the rooms, leaving our once safe local into a four way entrance of lose. Oh well, there's always next time.. <- In the 800's on Escalation Leaderboards

Yeah, that was insane but it was so much fun! my ranking is in the 2000s I think my biggest problem with this game though is my aim. I checked my stats and my hit rating is only 12-17%. I know I could do much better at PVP and stuff if I could actually hit people. Any tips?

It's all about firing in bursts, if you keep consistently firing without stopping your aim is going to kick from your original target. Always zoom (L Trigger) too! I think my biggest weakness is that I try to rush and save my teammates when they need to be revived without consideration of my own survival XD

Edit - Hey wait, your accuracy is better than mine. LOL

That's hard to believe lol You seem to do a bit better at it than I do. I need to improve anyway, I can only imagine it would help. In PVP I find I have no problems getting the jump on folks but I almost always loose the kill unless I get lucky or have a team that actually acts like a team. Maybe my sensitivity is too high or something.

I had a blast playing today though, we did pretty good for what we had. I think we just need to get to know the maps better and we can pwn

Haha yeah I know what you mean in multiplayer, usually I've got this guy in my sights, I fire off my shots, but then he somehow ends up behind me and I die, and all I get is the crappy +15 or +25 Assist Point when my teammate sweeps up my garbage.

I think we're doing pretty well together, It's always fun to play Escalation with someone you know then 3 random people. I'm sure my accuracy looks good cause I find computer enemies alot more easier to predict than human controlled ones. It's also probably cause I always go for the Null Ray in every game and love blasting enemies away... I feel that the Null Ray is perfect for Forsaken, I just need to be sure I'm around an Ammo Machine.

I should have given up on Remnant a long time ago. That map is absolute garbage in garbage. Whether you open up the right side or left side, you'll end up with Scrapmakers, but wow there are too many points of entry in each room, it's not even fair. I'm going to try to avoid that map until we formulate a good group.

District is growing on me, I just gotta remind myself that once I'm in the Scrapmaker area, get it and then get out of there and never come back. That place is death!

And Broken Hope is just rinse, lather and repeat. A very simple map with good cover and reasonable placement of weapon, ammo and health machines.

I couldn't agree more. We usually clean up pretty good provided we have 1 other that is at least decent. We just need to find those sweet spots and try to open as few doors as possible.

In district, the door to the left of the thermo mines is actually pretty good for holding down the fort. It even has energy shields that can help. Maybe next time we might try that.

Most matches I find that my team opens too many and there are just too many directions to get mauled from. Also, most of refuse to stay together and cover each other. I have fun and learn things regardless though. Just gotta get you a mic

Yeah that place in District is where I held out the longest.. think it was till Wave 12 something. Just need Demolisher and make sure everyone knows how to take down Brutes quickly. It's slow but it gets the job done. I'll get a mic tomorrow, perhaps bright and early!

Holy monkey butt cheeks. Made it to Wave 14 on Remnant with Sabrigami... was the most nutcase Escalation game I've ever played...

That was insane. Why the heck to all the mobs spawn from the ceiling?! It makes it totally insane to deal with It was pretty awesome though

District and Remnant are so ughhhhh
