said by sapo  :Your interpretations are a bit off. First of all, you would not be able to provide any basis for that specific "Rambo" definition so I cannot accept that as an absolute truth. It's too easy to just change around what it means this way to suit your argument. Fairly useless to argue. Also the below quoted statement contained the word "probably" which therefore does not make it a assumption as it cannot be taken for granted. Probable just states a higher likelihood. Actually I was wrong for taking you at your word in your earlier posts when you were telling everyone how wrong they were. I guess I didn't read the Internet rules that posts over so many days were ancient and therefore anything said by you is null and void and no longer true.
And You are unable to prove that I am unable to provide and basis for the specific rambo definition so it is still absolute truth until I read somewhere on the Internet thats posted within the acceptable amount of time allowed that it still remains true.
Oh never mind I just looked to see when the last Rambo movie was out and its now ancient therefore it no longer matters and any references to it are no longer true.
And I bow out you win the argument or friendly banter as i thought it was  |

The movie Rambo had him all alone. That right there makes any argument of Rambo as one person.
Personally I like playing as my ancestor's styles, Francis Marion from the revolutionary war (my mother's side) and Jonathan Jackson, the confederate general from the civil war (father's side).
I like to run around, dodge when I need to, and shoot to kill, not try any fancy shit.
Yes, I'm related to The Swamp Fox and Stonewall Jackson. I personally don't see why anyone needs to race around and play as a guy who would die fast in real life, sorry to break it to rambo lovers, when real war generals in history were the real ones whose styles should be mimicked. |

Thats not ancient to me. And in your earlier posts (copied below) you were all about how you could do it alone, hence the conversation since then, from your posts now I see that you have changed your mind And when one says "rambo" style they mean they can do it all alone
those comments made by me were about your earlier posts. Im not always right either about a game, but when I see someone bashing a game before they played it that I like I like to be all "rambo" and speak up.
Anyways its a great game I think we both agree on that
your words below...
"You act like you played this game. Rambo style will probably work fine like all other games which say you need teamplay. Just need to learn the game and play accordingly...
...cease the assumptions General."

The term "Rambo" is loose by definition. Just the meaning of is debatable. The game basically make it impossible to play 100% alone, that's just the nature of its design. Call it forceful teamplay if you will. The point I made earlier in the old posts is that within the means this games design one can go "Rambo". Would you not consider one player having near or as many kills as the other 3 teammates combined Rambo? Also, the movie Rambo didn't do things all on his own either, so that's not a valid point.
A loose definition along with a restricted game design. Seems perfectly agreeable to me. Don't get me wrong, this game is awesome and there are plenty of players out there who can beat me.
Btw, on the internet the time between these posts and my old posts are definitely considered ancient. Just try to look up inactive original posts from that time, even in places with low traffic such as this it requires you to go through over 30 things. Just try with a place like digg. |

said by sapo :said by Fluke :Play the game! you will see rambo style does NOT work ...Anyways as long as people keep bosses off I can manage. I've been consistently getting all getting kill records so far in completing the campaigns with my teams so I'm doing good enough. So you are saying you DO need help and you can do it if others keep the bosses off of you. Hmm Rambo didnt need help ok
I play it I am not always at the top I dont always have the kill records but I do have fun |

Don't take my word for it though, you can play it yourself. Dynamic difficulty, AI team when no other people are present. I'm sure you will be just fine without good coordination, of course your teammates will still be putting work in to your advantage. Anyway you can give me the game at any time so I can play it. you shouldn't use general assumtion if you have not played the game, take your own advice, at least try it and see for yourself

Of course, those elements are all taken into consideration and you have to accommodate for all that, that's pretty obvious. Like in GRAW2 that I played, my team is always stuck on me but I did 90%+ of the work. You people are the ones narrow minded here, open games can be played with different styles not just butt buddy style.
I understand the concept of Coop JIGA, where did you get the impression that I did not.
I look forward to playing with you two. |

Maybe if they read the PC Gamer preview of it then they "might" grasp the concept of coop. *EDIT* I'm JIGA on steam. You're right. How about this, if you aren't interested in the game and just have negative things to say please don't post. This thread is for people who are excited for the game and actually want to play coop together as intended. |

If you fall in battle, your teammate has to revive you. If you are low on health and already used your health pack they can give you theirs. The list goes on. The game forces you to work together or you'll never make it through. No, I haven't played it, but my friend is currently. If you are playing as the infected, then teamwork isn't as much of an issue though it still helps. No point trying to convince them, narrow minded can't see the full potential of the game.
