Syndicate - It's now geting easier

After a few weeks of further PMGs & a lot more players joining the UGVM syndicate. The game is getting easier to play, not because we are any better (albeit maybe slightly) but mainly due to research you can unlock upgrades to your weapons, learn new skills & upgrade your agent chip.

The first attempt at a map was very painful but now we can easily complete a map with no difficulties especially if we have a full roster of 4 agents only taking 15 minutes.

In fact yesterday Toby & I showed some amazing skills to complete a map with just 2 players !!

I have a couple of maps still to play on normal difficulty but it won't be too long before we start looking at ramping up the difficulty to the next level.

I tried the demo when the game was released with a few from UGVM (Jochta, Cooltag & I forget who else sorry). The demo had you playing the role of an agent. You have to run through the map hacking technologies & shooting enemies. There is an emphasis on co-op play because you need to heal team members & sometimes reboot them.

With the game purchased it was time to play the game proper with Gus & Cooltag, our first map was Northern Territories which proved challenging enough on normal difficulty that all three of us died very quickly. There are different classes in the game Support, Offence & Defence and all these really give you is a different default gun load out. Trying again we come up against the boss who had a protective shield which you first need to hack to disable before he can take any damage. Once he died you could then remove a chip which is the currency in the game for upgrades. But to take him down we had to play for the team, no lone wolf attempts. I would disarm his shield while Gus & Cooltag would attack. I would also then keep an eye on the their health bar & heal if needed. Hopefully the next session we will have an extra player to join us, I really enjoyed the co-op gameplay & Syndicate should keep us busy until Borderlands 2.
