useful and positive info

larry,
thanks, i have switched my style like you said from firing quickly once out of stealth before armor kicks on(getting stealth maxed out). now i get few hundred armor points after the round, but my previous style warranted about >1000 stealth points.

You also get armor points not only for kills while in armor mode but for the amount of time you spend in armor mode. Another way to boost it is to "camp" so to speak things like the car garage in parking lot. Just make circles through the garage while in armor mode the entire time and clean up kills inside the garage. You aren't left open to get shot in the back like you are when you run through the streets without stealth. But you can easily own the car garage by walking back and forth and up and down in armor mode. Should get you several thousand exp per game and quite a few kills seeing as how people constantly go through the garage. Most maps have areas like this that you can patrol safely with out stealth.

With all my levels maxed out at 12, I find I use Armor far more then stealth, the more you use the armor/stealth/power sides of the suits abilities the more XP you get for each one

If you want to increase each one, take time in a match to only use that one area, so only armor or stealth or sprint and ledge climb and power jump more

Useful and positive? is that even possible with the unemployed cry babies on these forums?

I you are in armour mode and you call in a killstreak, whatever kills it gets you will count as XP towards that secific mode, e.g armour mode in this case.

tip - a great place on Pier 117 to spot enemies for your team is on the boat in the center of the map. Top level works best.

tip - Just like the Marines always teach - slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Be tactical instead of rushing as it will net you a boatload of kills.

unemployed cry babies.......oh dear, took less then ten mins for you did it, ah well, time to test out the sites admins to see what they can do

Tip : Every Map has a focal point for battles...learn where they are on the maps and you can find easy kills from a distance

(oh and not every basic bit of info needs to posted every five mins as a tip, why not just make a post listing all the ones you can think of)

why is it that you can't stop digging at other people? was this comment really necessary?
this thread was actually about to become usefull with everybody staying on topic and then you come by and start the flaming all over again.

I know that everything doesn't need to be posted, but it does seem nice to have one place where everyone from new recruits to experts can come and post helpful hints. It will bring the skill level of all up and make for a better gaming experience for all. Post away.

Also when people try to start flames the best line of defense is to ignore them and continue to post useful comments. They arent worth your time.

LMAO.....I like your positivity, but until they fix the many issues the game has, especially online, all you will get are fanboys and the ignorant to anyone elses problems

But...SP has one of the best Story campaigns I have seen in many a year for the 360, visually its the best looking game on the console.

It stops there because of its issues
Obviously haven't played Mass Effect 1 or 2 then not trying to be a prick but if you like storylines try it out :)

I you are in armour mode and you call in a killstreak, whatever kills it gets you will count as XP towards that secific mode, e.g armour mode in this case.

Your first statement is pretty generalized and stereotypical. You probably don't know anyone on this forum on a personal level so you should keep your generalizations to yourself. Your comment about killstreaks affecting which mode your in is useful tho! Stick to comments like that and you won't get bombarded so often.

Another tip is to play crash site if you're a good slayer. Objective kills are worth an additional 100 and it's fairly easy to get 10-20 of them a game. Also orbital strikes on a crash site give the objective kill bonus also and it's really easy to get 3-4 kills at a time when the enemy controls the site.

When you're on a site by yourself and see enemies coming... move away from the circle in stealth so that it makes it more difficult for them to find you(if the site has a red circle they know you're inside of it.) I usually back up outside the circle in stealth, wait for the enemy team to move in, pop armor mode and gun them down since i'll have the drop on them 90% of the time. These are also all objective kills since I waited for them to move in!

Have played and own both, and if you go back and re read what I posted, I said "one" of the best Story campaigns for the 360...so its not the best...just one of them :-)

Nah you are good my friend, your point is spot on, the SP isnt as good as the Mass Effect story lines, but for an FPS title....Crysis 2 is at least interesting and well presented.

Tip: Spend time levelling up the guns...you get good xp and attatchment unlock keys for hitting their kill targets, 500, 750 and 1000

Will help when your XP is a grind past rank 30

Cool cool ha, i do agree the SP was well put together the enemy AI was rather simple minded but it was very well presented and put together as you say. Cheers for the tip too :)

For some reason, I have enjoyed the sp so much that I have a hard time pulling myself away to grind it out in mp. I love the campaign. I havent actually tried, but does anyone know if you can cook the grenades. Just curious. Also, are there any grenade strategies that might help.
