Day 2 is out: http://www.overkillsoftware.com/games/lockeandload/

It's just a twitch stream about the storyline mode. Also there is a tape recorder with a message of some sort - probably the SECRET.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
The riddle for day 2 is both a) trivially easy and b) already hacked out of the game by filedivers, who know where all of the riddle solutions will be for the whole event. It's firestarter day 1.

Oh. Well, that's ok, given that modding the Brenner, m308, and AK-47 don't exactly have huge damage boosting mods available (given that the dumb ak/car pack refuses to give me 3/4 of the stuff I bought it for, because of achievement-locking (behind dumb achievements I didn't feel like grinding (though I did try to do the art museum in ICTV one solo about a hundred times out of sheer bloodimindedness before giving up (getting to within 1 second of success about 20 times))). It's still wonderful compared to the old 'everyone has amcars' thing. And having one of them actually able to pierce shields goes a long way (in making them slightly less useless-feeling, since I can kill shields at a rate of about one per two seconds as is).

Honestly, I just like being able to pick specific heisters and give them specific masks more than anything. It's the little things, quality of "life" stuff.

The real world will, again tomorrow, function and run without me.

The AR/CAR pack achievements are all really fun to do, except for maybe Here Comes The Pain Train but it’s still pretty easy so it’s fine. I did all of them with a friend of mine before I even bought the pack.

Read it and weep.
Happened to notice that my achievement completion rate was suddenly 65% instead of 100%. :stare:

Then I realised that was because they added achievements for all heists on all difficulty levels below Mayhem, so I booted up the game and got 300 at a go.

Crackdown, the official title of Death Vox reborn, is in the current restoration mod version. It's still very, very, very much a work in progress- we need to fix things with shields, medics, enemy models, Captains, all of stealth...but it's available.

Street Sweeper and M1014 are different tiers, and comparing this shitheap to them is doing a disservice to both.

It's not a guaranteed crash. Both my friend and I were able to individually load up the new heist on One Down.

Bad news: it's set per-gun, so now you get to go through your entire inventory and set each.

Shotgun: I love everything about it but the damage. Even with 000 buck it's unable to single headshot standard cops on Overkill without Overkill. I like the feel, the sound, everything except that the damage is painfully low.

Alaska Heist: Liking it as well. Good close/mid range fighting, plenty of cover and maneuvering paths, objectives are varied enough and reasonably fair.

Trying out the Shotgun it's definitely most fun with akimbo+shotty skills to get the damage over 40 and the ammo count super high. They're full-auto so they kind of end up like a shotgun LMG.

EDIT: If you build around them with Hitman/shotty skills/body expertise/akimbo stuff, they can be a maximum fun-haver weapon. Haven't looked into silencers or anything.

Very interesting. I think I can guess the cause- it's trying to call from a spawngroup table when loading a scripted spawn at the start, and some of the spawns call enemies that aren't properly loaded.

Rolled a 1 on the random encounter table, didn't you?
new akimbo shotgun is fun on overkill but I had to hit up ammo bags several times. Just can't kill enough to stay self-sufficient. With the steakout, I never hit an ammo bag except maybe on DW or OD when I can't run around as freely to pick up ammo.

Though I hope the they go more silly with the Butcher. I would totally play a "prank" war heist on Locke's house wherein we plant stinkbombs, throw eggs, paint some nasty words and TP the place before leaving, all while shooting dozens of cops.

SO HOW ABOUT THAT NEW MISSION, HUH?!

The map seems about as small as the Transport maps - which is fine if there’s enough to do on it (including clicking cops around practically every corner).

Plotwise, it seemed a little rushed - Simon didn’t seem to be putting his all into the Bain lines, and the attitude at the end of “Don’t worry about Locke, guys; we’ll get him later” runs contrary to the backstory of guy who can take down Crime.net, in that - even if he’s trying to put on a brave face - Bain should be freaking the gently caress out internally.

Unless he’s in on it too. Hmm...
