Yay! http://www.echelon5.net/max/finish1.jpg I played with 8 guys, alternating off a random person. The core: - 2 borgs with M60's - one with gyro, one with (rarely used) nade - 2 humans set up just like above. Arthur used to use a plasma shotgun, but switched over to m60 duty on the wargot ship - Joan, the most experienced squad member, had around 500 kills, vs 2nd place around 150 Others: - Vendela, a psionic proved VERY useful on that last bit! I could see enemies all the way across the map almost. - Leo, who lugged around plasma shotguns, rifles, and rocket launchers all throughout - And last but not least, Jiang, who mowed down about a hundred rets and mutants with a katana, all by himself. And also layed some mines here and there. And ocasionally I descended upon the mutants/cultists/rets with 6 drones and 1 lucky squaddie who sat in the pod to soak up 2k+ XP. The octos weren't too hard with the firepower I brought in - 1 salvo from 4 M60's + 2 barret hits, the thing was almost dead if not already dead. Pretty damn fun nonetheless, when those bastards swarmed you! Perhaps AP ammo is too good. It works on everything except SG clouds. Anyway, great ending, even though I had to redo the very end so I could turn off the music, since the game didn't do that for me. Great game also, I played through dispite crashes because I was curious where it was going - the finishing off the wargot mothership was a great high, and the moon mission was fun, though short. I had misplaced squaddies in there too - it added to the excitement at least Good game all around, minus bugs. I will probably replay when the patch is released.
