Never mind, just found out that "sweep" and "throw sand" require you to visit the trainer in the villa.

Hey GR, thanks to you, I now have most of the collectible achievements in AC2 (just have to put some more time into finding all 100 feathers, then travel between cities with the special cape), but I was just wondering if you could help me and a lot of other gamers out there by giving us a guide on the special move achievement (Doctor, Street Cleaner, Sweeper, etc.). I have all but the one where you throw sand and the one where you hit lots of people with a long weapon, but I know that some people might not have gotten any of them. If I can just get those two achievements after I get all the feathers, then I will finally have all 1000 achievement points from this game.

P.S. For all of you people who think that I am an achievement whore who must have every single achievement in every single game I get, just look at my 360 profile. I have not even gotten all the points on any ARCADE games, let alone an awesome full game like this.

Let's see if we can't come up with worse creatures.

Cars
Monkeys
Gorillas
RC Cars
Dogs
Hedgehogs (especially blue ones)
Raccoons
Lions, zebras, giraffes, hippos

Need I go on?

Also, @RebornKusabi, don't worry: it is only a "wall of text" if you get down to less than 100 characters remaining. Many people would be suprised to see just how much can be said in a comment on this site. You could almost write a blog entry!

First of all, let me just repeat what I said in a different article, I HATE DIGG!

Now that that is out of my system, I completely agree with GR's predictions for HL2E3, Gears 3, inFamous 2, God of War 3, Arkham 2, AC3, and L4D3.

However, I also disagree on several predictions.

MW3 will probably see Soap and Price TEAMING UP with Makarov, since they are currently outnumbered, 1 GLOBAL SUPERPOWER to 2 regular soldiers. If they team up with Makarov, even for only a few levels, then they will at least have a chance at getting their reputations restored before they need to be given a 21-gun salute by the Russians, or whatever "enemies" they will fight alongside.

Also, in the little teaser image for the next game, I see that the tear that is showing the grass and mountains is also in the shape of FRANCE's coastline (north-west corner, AKA the corner that contains one of the most well-known American victories of WWII, Omaha Beach in Normandy). That is why I think that GTA WILL be returning to Europe, but I also think that a more specific answer (like, say, a country instead of a continent) can be given.

I think that, even though Pandemic shut down and supposedly took "Mercs Inc." along with it, I saw a news article saying EA will make sure it is fully developed and published. So yes, there will be some games that will probably never get a sequel (or might get a sequel in a different style by a different company, like Fallout 3, whatever you like best), but at least everything that was started by Pandemic will be finished in a way similar to how Pandemic would have done it.

Still, thanks for the awesome guides. I WILL use them after I see the final cliffhanger in the AC series.

Personally, the feathers are the thing I am focusing on the least. Right now, I am just playing through the story. I just hope that, in AC3, I will be able to use all of Altair's and Ezio's skills to help Desmond and the Assassins stop the Templars. Thankfully, I have MW2 multiplayer to keep me happy between this game and the next.

ROFL MAO On #6 in the video, you guys get the achievement for all 8! Anyways, thanks for the guide. I am going to try to get all the collectibles myself, but I was having a hard time with the statues. See ya later.

You're right, I believe that at some point, a writer told the designers "You need some filler if you want a coherent story.", to which IW swiftly replied "We will never put 'filler' into our games" (okay, I admit it, I am a big fan of IW's work. Same as most gamers.) I think that they just wanted to have a reason in the story for why we had a Russian invasion on our hands all of a sudden.

P.S. Thanks for clarifying what Price did, I knew that there had to be some kind of explosive warhead detonated in space that formed some kind of EMP by the time it reached the ground, but I wasn't sure how they could both happen at the same time.

Might get this game from Blockbuster so that I can play the Ghostbusters theme song (which is probably played on the haunted house level), but otherwise, I am sticking with MW2 and AC2.

ROACH AND EZIO FTW!

Darn it, now I will never get 100% on Campaign. Anyways, thanks again, fellow GR readers (if you are wondering why I said "again", please look back to my post on an Uncharted 2 article about the stealth level).

Another great article, GR. I was a little saddened by some parts of the article, but this won me over with the very last image. Too true, too true.

P.S. I also thought up the title "Gaming enthusiast" when building my 360 profile for my gamertag.

The reason why I haven't been actively voicing anything against MW2's decision to not have dedicated servers is because, while I may not be one of the rich PC gamers, I do know that most of them are very good with programming code, or more specifically, breaking it down, and I see I was right. Party on, PCs, party on.

0_O This is weird. I am commenting on an article that talks about a massacre in a Russian airport, and my reCAPTCHA is "milliken International" That seriously sounds Russian to me.

Anyone know if you need to beat Veteran for 100%? Please post a reply on this article.

This seems like a combination of Mercs 2 (for destruction), Prototype (for how much damage you can do to your enemies, as well as how much fun you can have destroying them), Bionic Commando (for the grappling hook attached to arm, of course), and Just Cause 1 (for flying jets while wearing an infinitely re-usable parachute), mixing all the good parts of each into a hilariously funny epic game. I am going to get this when it comes out.



Anyone know when it comes out?

I noticed that almost all the buildings in the "Wolervines!" level (other than the houses) seem to be based off of real-life fast food and banking buildings (Taco ToGo is shaped like Taco Bell, Burger Town like Burger King, etc.), and the same is even true for their symbols near the front of the buildings. I think that these buildings got the same treatment as the mentos in Fallout 3

Let's keep our fingers crossed that IW will add cheats in some future patch like they did with the PS3 for matchmaking.

(to crazy voice in my head) What cheat do you want to earn for finding all the intel?
(voice replies) I want a cheat that will make my enemies forever wish they hadn't crossed me. I WANT A TACTICAL NUKE CHEAT!

P.S. @anyone who has beaten the "endgame" level

I personally find the later use of the "Ice-climbing mechanic" very nice, along with the struggle with the knife.

Never mind, you covered both missions in the video, which I didn't watch for a while after a posted my previous comment.
