I am myself level 27 now and apperantly you can enter "prestiege" mode like in Call of Duty games, starting over and losing all weapons etc but you can a sort of emblem.

I never got the point of that, give up everything, doesn't make a bunch of sense. You must have been playing a ton to be 27 since it just came out yesterday.

Acording to Steam I have played 7 hours so far, not that much tbh. You level up pretty fast imo.

Think they want you to play co-op, much more fun aswell.

Man iam loving this game, up to lvl 13 on hard and i just want to keep on playing, has not crashed on me once, runs so smooth. Back for round 2 tomorrow i think

Mussels · Jul 21, 2010

game has occasional lag spikes/problems, think its mostly when one player lags out it goes weird.

beat it all on hard coop, now we're working on insane... its not easy thats for sure.

Yea i have noticed that with other players (Bro) it sent him into a spin lol, very weird.

Mussels · Jul 21, 2010

we've also noticed some crashes to desktop and 'buffer overflow' errors - they arent PC specific cause they tend to happen to 2+ players in a game at the same time.

ste2425 · Jul 21, 2010

what about levels on co-op? is there an actual story or is just get through the level?

Mr McC · Jul 21, 2010

Just played my first game, 30 secs in practice and 45 mins online: very impressed, very impressed with Valve for doing this.

Mussels · Jul 21, 2010

not a very in depth story, but a story it is.

No, it's not going up for the Pulitzer, but I didn't even notice the story, I was too busy shooting everything, including other team members.
