I'm looking for those mech fans amoungst us. Perhaps we can run some online missions together? Form a ng.com squad even? I've only gone through the solider story arc, so I'm not of much use right now, but I'm willing to try.

I've got it buy I need to finish some achievements on Prey first so I can take it back.

If you could help me with some private matches to get the 25 kills with each weapon in Prey that'd be sweet? Then I can crack open Chrome Hounds and see if I like that enough to keep :) I liked the demo missions they were neat.

I'd definately be up for doing some of the co-op stuff/form a clan etc if its good.

Cheers Olly

I still have Prey, so yes, of course I'll boost you up.

I'll be home in just over three hours, and then only for a couple hours.

Otherwise it'll have to be tomorrow some time.

I'm returning my rental after work and buying Chromehounds outright.

Man, I have been hearing a mixed bag of Chromehounds, how is it? I don't mind slower game play if there is seriouse stratagy. I have heard it is being compared to Counter Strike alot, and I love that game. I heard the single player basicly sucks and is like one big training ground but online is sweet, IF, you put in a dedicated amount of time and get into a well formed clan, cus loosing makes you loose a lot of cash. Seriously, how is it?

Yeah, the offline isn't so great. Nice, dull story with no challenge in the gameplay.

I won't be starting the online portion unless other ng.com, who own the game, jump in. I wish I could tell you all about the online part, but I've just dabbled in solo missions so far.

I have been thinking about picking this up since I just got Live. However, I have a ton of games I need to get through first.

I've played the single player first set of 7 missions and the training, got S rank on all of them :) I really like the game myself and considering the single player was described as pretty weak I bet the online play will be top notch!

Magician hurry up and help me with the Prey achievements so we can get a clan together on Chrome Hounds or atleast some co-op online play :p

Only have 3 Multiplayer ones left now :) They are the 50 team death match kills, 125 team death match kills, 250 team death match kills, and Cheroke Difficulty in the main story mode.

Thats without using a local game with your second controller as the opponent ;)

Should definately be up for some Chrome Hounds though, I think I'm taking Prey back 2moro but I'll keep Chrome Hounds from what I've seen :)

Olly.

360 Squad anyone?

I already have a chromehounds squad, HUMANE SOCIETY, and Team Skeezy on Halo 2 if anyone is interested in joining. I'm trying to get other squads together for Perfect Dark Zero and Call of Duty 2. Just leave me a message at my gamer tag, EXPENSIVEHABITZ. I'm always on playing, AZ time, and looking for people to play with.

Online for chromehounds is the only way to play, story blows and is way too easy. Game is slow but its all about logistics, no tactical stradegy and your done for. And if your squad members are lacking the ability to communicate its gonna suck. I am ranked #19 in skill overall for the scout rt, and am looking for people to join a squad so............message me-thx expensivehabitz

I'll hopefully be able to join soon. I just got off of vacation, but just when I'm coming off, I've been asked to housesit where there's no broadband :(.

I was really itchin to do some major GRAW this week, but at least I can finish all my SP Chromehounds missions, while I wait. During my vacation, I had some time to put in some mad Top Spin 2 time and it's really addictive once you get your player rolling, get a fan club, and everything. The tennis strategies one uses to win some points, in this game, is seriously satisfying. Oddly enough, as usual for a Top Spin game, the Women's tennis is a whole different game from the men's. However, this time, I think the early difficulty of the game is easier for the men's.

Bump. Is anyone playing this or what? I have barely gotten any use out of the game due to squad issues, and I'm sick of playing Individual Missions online. I need some team oriented action!

I play for Tarakia by the way.

Anyone? :conf:

Yea same here really guys, sorry..

I'm waiting on my new 32" Sony Bravia V-Series LCD HDTV to arrive this coming week :D Either picking it up Monday or its being delivered Wednesday so I've got to completely move my tiny room around so I can fit the beast in.

I've been perfecting my way through Burnout Revenge on the 360 at the moment but I'm so tired after work or football (soccer) that I can't really get into Chrome Hounds at the moment.

However I'm playing the Solo campaign as we speak so who knows maybe soon..

On a side note: I just recieved the Limited Edition Chrome Hounds Faceplate from eBay looks quality :)

Hi. Can you guys tell me how to get to play the Co-op games on Chrom Hounds? I don't know how to set up a co-op game, yet its on the back cover for offline (no system link) and online. Thanks.

You guys are missing out on a great online experience. I got into an outfit with around 20+ members and a Professional rating. Running missions online is a lot of fun if you have a good team, planning out strategies for offense/defense is half the fun. If you have a good commander Hound on your side, your chances of winning go up quite a bit.

But there are solo missions available when your squadmates are offline. You get money and renown, and you can fight against CPU opponents. I'm starting to get hooked I think. I ranked up to Private last night. :cool:

Finally got around to playing this more often. I just finished all story arcs with an S rank and I'm finally getting my feet wet in online play. Send me a squad invite if you have a spot available for a noobie; meantime I'll be working on the # of chasis deployment achievements and various others.

Just got this game and loving it. Yeah the mechs are ugly suckers but man is it cool. Reminds me of the old Mechwarrior 2 on PC.
