Even though I knew this stuff already, I still ended up sitting through the video. Good choice of music at the start as well.

nice guide. it gives good tips. i think the medi gel stuff was really helpful, because in a PUG i never know when to use them, mostly cuz no one communicates. could you also do a solo guide? i really can only do bronzes, but i can play platinum legitimately with a full team, so i can handle not dying as often, but some aspects of soloing like how to complete certain objectives and other stuff. a lot of people could benefit from such a guide, like people trying to get the solo challenge completed

If you want a basic guide on how to solo gold, look up cainhegis2500's videos, since he covers the easiest combinations for solos. I was going to go for a slightly more advanced angle on maps/classes/enemies people hate.

@KnOxX s GoLd: Sirian is not into soloing, from what I gathered around BSN. It bores him, and I can't blame that school of thinking. There are tips on this forum and youtube for that already, search around.

Hopefully the persons to which this video/guide is intended will watch it, it surely is a nice one.

Why is there almost 500k points total in this game? Seems very high.

U/U, Reapers, close range map means more kills during objective waves.

Mate, what are you worried about your voice for? It's great! Any time I hear an Australian (or semi-Australian) accent in a gameplay commentary, I smile.

Enjoyed the video. Thought something was up with my visual for a while but it turns out you were pausing intentionally.

Well constructed video. Thanks!

Well, it's no voice of High Lord Annomander. I love listening to him.

Great stuff, hit most of the high notes I think.

One or two things popped in my head while you watching:

* When the teammate got stomped by the Marauder - when an enemy is right over a fallen teammate, especially if I have something like prox mine or something that can stagger, I'll usually try to kill the enemy outright more often instead of trying a revive, since their stomp animation is a lot faster than your revive, and they can kill them while you're trying to revive.

* For disarms, one thing I've started to do more in PUGs is to learn when to better to disengage when I'm getting attacked and my teammates aren't giving me support. It's a tough thing, since sometimes they come through (like the drellguard did on that last disarm)... but usually they don't.

* I go through Ops Packs like candy, and especially w/ lag have started doing it earlier (even before the last healthgate, if I'm under fire). I just have regretted it way too often and b/c of the way Ops Packs are bugged, it'll eat your pack anyway even after you've died. There was definitely one or two situations while watching where I was like, yep, I would have have popped a pack there.

BTW I've also added your vid to the strategy guide page here: https://sites.google...strategy-guides (as always, would welcome any volunteers that wanted to add stuff - the guides section could use some love/cleanup)

My accent is not the typical Australian one. :whistle: You wouldn't believe how many people on xcal's vids accuse me of being British. <_<

You say that like it's a bad thing...

and I agree, because it is.

Glad you liked it. Unfortunately I don't really know the first thing about soloing (except that it's incredibly boring) so I would have a hard time doing guides for it. I know there are plenty of solo vids (and probably guides) out there. I think Caineghis has some. I think his Youtube channel is Powerstream2500. 

You can also watch other solo videos and just observe what the players do.

:D Thanks... when I sped the footage of them clutching the wave up, the Benny Hill Theme just automatically played in my head, so I HAD to use it.

Thanks. =] I guess everyone is a bit self-conscious about their voice. The reason for the pauses was to help illustrate and talk about what was happening in the gameplay at the time. I tried to make what I was covering relevant to what was happening on the screen, rather than just have meaningless gameplay on in the background.

It's not really that high. Not since they buffed the score you get on Gold/Plat. If you notice the game was also quite long (25 mins). :P

I love how you got sync killed by lol-sneaky banshees twice. That happens to me rarely but still too often. I'm struggling rather with rauders... god how I hate them. I mean I can deal with reapers so easily on my GI, but dem rauders... their heads are so small >_<

I have a screenie of us getting 578k in 16 minutes. If you really wanted to cheese it, you could probably pull 1M in sub-20.

Definitely going to watch this. I PUG all the time, and sometimes my skill is...variable....enough (read: crap), I at least need to be useful, if I'm not managing to kill all the things. I try to be a good team-mate regardless, but more advice is always welcome.

Thanks Sirian.
