Bogus Report:

Now as we all know, we tend to die alot in a multiplayer match but there is two ways you can survive better, now if you want the kills then arm yourself with a shotgun and maybe waste some rounds so you got one bullet left so you can get active as that will blow a hole in the opponent easyier, or if you want to eliminate opponets without being blown quick then ask fopr some backup from you're team.

When you play online, when you start you have one frag which is smoke. If you haven't done it it's good to do. When you get close to an enemy tag them with the frag and they will run away with smoke coming from them.

If you go to canals on the side you have to go left to get to go under your bidge is the side you need to be on. When you first reach the first fleet of stairs to the left of your bridge there is a piller to the right that you must get on by pushing A. Once ther crouch with left analog and you will see the sign to jump over stuff. Press a and you will jump into the wall. The only thing is that you will fall back out. This is the begginning of a glitch to get into the walls of canals. If I figure the rest of the glitch out I will post again. This really works.

Easy chainsaw kills

Bogus Report:

When playing online you can get easy chainsaw kills when you have more then one person alive one your team.1) if there is only one person on the other team and all he is doing is taking cover have one person take cover and shot back. When they start shooting run around where he can't see you and chainsaw them form behind. 2)when people have there lancer out they will want to chainsaw someone so wait for them to rev. And then shot to jam them then run up and put our cahinsaw in them. This is also an easy way to get grenade kills.

RAAM

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

If you cannot beat RAAM here is a little help. On the map section you fight RAAM, there are four small concrete blocks that you can take cover on. Go to the top right block and take cover. For some reason, maybe a glitch in my disk, he will not come around the square. He stands there and tries to shoot through it. He can hit you but it only hurts a small bit. If you look to your right there is a small curved wall that you can ricochet a grenade off of and get between his legs. The explosion sends the Krill away and after the leave shoot as many Lancer or Gnasher bullets as you can into his face (Blindfiring helps on Insane). If it does not kill him and you run out of grenades, run past him and mantle over and takecover on the long concret barricade behind him. He should send the Krill after you. If he does blind fire at him until he dies.

In the Fuel Depot, if you start in the housing area for the vehicles, run to snag the LongShot and then run to the right. There is a small box with a larger box next to it. Go to the end of the small box that is closes to where you started and hide against it. Then, jump onto the box and lean into the larger box. You should be standing then. Crouch with the Left Stick and then climb onto the larger box by pressing forward and A. Use this position to snipe people.
