Questions about Horde, anyone who has played please answer?

[Ghostofdelta2]

1) What map(s)/difficulties did you play?

2) What did you think of the experience?

Until the 20th, please just post what you have thought from E3 etc,

[Kuronishen]

This is a borderline forbidden topic, but I'm curious too.

I thought on the 15th stuff was allowed to be written?

It is midday on the 15th were I am (Adelaide, Australia)

If it isn't allowed then Flak/Cher/Joe please close it

According to my friend he blows a load every ten waves. I'm just quoting him though, I havn't personally experienced it.

I don't know when the official date is when people can start posting about in-game content. I assumed it started at launch.

I wasn't accusing you by the way You're just one of the better forum members and I'd hate to see something happen is all.

Cheers, no offense taken, I sent Flak the link on twitter as well and asked her to get rid of the thread if it does indeed break the rules.

I assumed by her making these subforums and asking if Horde/Beast should have their own PLUS the 15th date thing that these threads were fine. Hopefully it is because it would be nice to see what people thought.

The Lambent Berserker that GCON fought looked amazing, especially on a low difficulty setting.

The Gunkers on Hardcore looked intense. Hopefully all the boss fights are that good.

He said the Brumak was suprisingly weak, but he was on casual.

I actually thought the Brumak may be easier, based on how big and slow it is. Of course on higher settings if it kills people 1 hit, that may make it somewhat more challenging

[The Medic]

Played on casual and every ten waves is just chaos. so much fun

[DrFace007]

The berserker waves are crazy. Boss waves are no joke.

Please feel free to post whatever you though, liked/disliked etc, just please keep this thread clean

I played hotel and overpass ultiple times. I was on a time restraint so I didn't get to explore to much, but these are my impressions so far.( I played an hour in total)

Hotel is big, I'd say the size of pavillion but spaced diffetrently. I feel the inside will be the place to fight on muliplayer and the outsides are perfect for flanlks. It feels rewarding to upgrade fortifactions but it can be frustrating if everyone isn't co-operating but still really fun and tight. Eniimies respwan from everywhere so picking the right command post is key.

Overpass was really confusing map took me a while to fugure out but it doesn;t seem designed for execution or warzone. I fought many lambents on this mao and they are aot tougher than regular locust, but they need to get a lot closer to you to really dish out the damage. Same things applies with fortifactions and team work.

Iam as excited to go full hands on as you are brudda ahah

[wopchop69er]

oh and i played on normal mode and the turrets are super fun but NOT overpowered. the sentires barly help lol

[Ferp]

What's a solid strategy for fighting lambent?

Thanks for the in depth response.

It seems like Epic have made teamwork easier AND more important. I like that teams who work together effectively will do better.

Would you think inside or outside for Hotel would be better on hardcore or Insane?

Overpass looks like it would be very difficult on Insane.

I imagine Bosses would make short work of a lot of the fortifications.

Don't get close

on bigger maps it seems its best to put space between you and them on higher waves, Lambent drones are easy but the drudges deal out heavy damage and take alot of damage( a lil less than grinders so it seems) on smaller maps I imagine you should try to avoid situations where they can group up and close the gap on you. They can shoot you behind cover and a few lambent on higher waves might overwhelm you.
The gunker is a BEAST he takes sooooo much damage.

Thank you! Of course your opinion counts, especially since you are actually a Horde player.

Overpass looked nuts from GCON's video. Will probably be one of my fave maps for it

Lol no ghost, Warzone all the way baby!

Just to clarify, the 15th is when the press embargo lifted, so they can post replays. We, however , are not allowed to post any spoilers until the 20th. You can see it stated by a Red in one of the closed threads in the campaign forum.

Thank you for the information. I did post spoiler tags just in case, but will amend the Op not to give out any information we didn't know from GCON/E3 etc til the 20th
