Just put up a new video.

ME2 - Painseeker is a Team Player

Shepard and Squadmates are all built for AoE.  Just a bunch of Charging, Throwing, and Inferno Grenades.  On what I consider the toughest part of Thane's recruitment.


That song works perfectly for that video, especially since your Shepard is a chick.

That is just... awesome. The Vanguard has so much versatility. I don't think my brain could handle playing like that. I'd probably have a stroke or something. You make it look so effortless :blink:

I think I prefer just straight up shooting and punching, like the headshot clip I posted the other day. On that note, after recording that and having so much fun I decided to tackle the entirety of Haestrom with the same attitude. Probably my favourite mission in the whole game.

Fighting Geth - Vanguard Style


I love it.  Mad dashes at the Geth when you are in cooldown and 46&2 on top of it!?  Awesome.

Thanks! Been a Tool fan forever. I was actually going to use Rage Against The Machine at first cause, well, do I need to say it? Heh.

The mad dashes have me wondering if the Stimulator Conduits might be worth it. Especially the dash right at the end. After killing a damn Colossus a stupid little trooper almost gets me? I cried a little... kinda makes me want to do an outtakes video to change things up a bit...

Also, RamsenC is right, that song is perfect!

Your video is actually up, not bad at all. Fun to see someone use a tech sidekick for the collector base rather then the usual biotic tag team.

You's an animal RamsenC! You practically strolled through there. Didn't get to use your sniper though... oh well, you kicked ass.

METROID! I haven't heard that song in 20 years or so. Sounded a bit different on a Nintendo though. Took me about half the video to realize why it was so strikingly familiar.



Awesome Evi action. I passed on the Claymore this time around. Can't complain at all.

Oh damn didn't realize. Sadly I won't call it a speed run because I fouled up the last part too much. I feel I could do the whole thing 25-30 seconds faster, but playing 20 frames per second just isn't as fun.

Anyways I wanted to make a video showing the awesomeness of the drone, stayed away from using warp explosions or area reave. Its hard to tell by watching that video, but that drone is helping me a lot. One nice thing is if you kill what it's attacking it will go to a different enemy. In case no one knows I like playing like a maniac and the drone helps me do so :o

Heres a link: 

edit: I love metroid :wub:

I noticed.  You were practically just following the little bugger around.  It works like a charm though because they barely even notice you walking up to them.

Grunt has an honorary beard after that. I can't believe you got it on video too. Epicness.

I just wanted to thank all of you guys who are putting up videos and providing tips on the Vanguard class!

I am not yet ready for Insanity, as I am just now trying the new techniques you describe and I am still having trouble with squad powers turned off, as I have so many powers and I forget to use the other guys (and where I've put their powers in hotkeys). But the difference between what I was doing and what I'm doing now - ZOMG!!!!

I changed from the Claymore to the Scimitar and all of a sudden FemShep has become "The Destroyer"! I just did the derelict Reaper mission after trading in Barrier for Raeve and switching the shotguns. I took Mordin and Thane with me. We kicked everyones asses so fast that I thought something was wrong with the game! I was literally looking around for other baddies to fight with. And the two guys that run around looking like their brains are on top of their heads that do the Shockwave got absolutely PELTED with violence! I swear I was only in the red once, and I got surrounded by husks once, and both times I fought my way out of there and charged over to the other side of the room and it was like no problema at all!

I'd been dying at least once on every mission since I moved up to Veteran. I can't wait to get to the Collector ship and lay down some "disciplinary action" and then it's up to Hardcore!

And I really can't wait to face that dumdum that's always assuming control. Umma gonna give him a beating! Thank you! :D

I'm glad you're having fun with it. The Vanguard is definitely the most intense class in the game.



OneBadAssMother:

If you haven't read the OP in a while, it's been updated with tons more videos and the actual text part has been revised with all the important stuff we've learned over the last several weeks.

haha yeah, I got it on video because I wanted to get some Scion+Husks footage for the Claymore Inferno vid.

So, here it is:

The Claymore Inferno

I also uploaded same vid , with different music.

It will take some time until it's fully processed, but it should be available in up to 1080p quality.

First vid is great.  Makes me miss the Claymore.  Especially at the beginning when you 1-shot the poor guy jumping over cover.  Hehe.  Second vid won't come up for me.  Must have put a song by an artist not accepted by Youtube.

Yes, the second vid has Dragon Force - Heroes of Our time, and is only accepted in Japan, too bad.

Only in Japan?  Lame.  Dragon Force is great music.  I may have to start putting in some double-bass, face melting guitar, awesome rock on some of my vids.  Maybe some old school Zao or some such.  Hmmm..  that makes me think, Average Gatsby should totally do another Dominate or AI Hacking vid with Master of Puppets playing in the background.

Hmm. All I have left is legion and tali's loyalty missions.... possibilities.

Also all these claymore vids are making me wonder if it should take it over the Rev. for my soldier. I ran through freedoms progress earlier and with AR I shotgun'd the ymir to death. 2 shots with the katana with AR once it was down to health.

I just managed to brawl/shotgun my way through the Lab, Freedom's Progress, and Mordin's recruitment mission (my past attempt with Vanguard had a lot of trouble in it). Seem to be able kill stuff a lot quicker and easier now after reading the guide. Might head to Purgatory next time I play, and finally get through playing Vanguard on insanity!

I took the 'go aggressive' thing too literally though, and charged whole groups of vorcha thinking I'm invincible heh. Funny thing is... it worked... the shield recovery does seem to help a lot with getting back to cover after dangerous charges. This is a great guide and loads of help, with vids as well. Thanks again!

That was epic! My love affair with the Evi is going so well, but that totally makes me want to pull out the Claymore again. Awesome music too.

As Tenacious D once said, "You can't kill the metal".

Yes! I voted for Soldier next. The description in your poll screams Claymore.
