    First I have to buy Metro 2033 again, then buy the Ranger Pack for the Xbox 360. So that's about a $40 buy. Though I'm VERY excited to play with the Ranger Pack. I've beaten the regular game many times and with the new difficulty, achievements, and weapons it should make for a real interesting play through.

    You still play Real Life? Man, long time since I played that game. The graphics are better than metro's, but the story pretty much sucks. Also, the rumour is that RL has a server reset at the end of this year.

    What if I get lag out there? I'm dead! I also heard there's no respawn point in RL! :wacko:

    RL would be great in my opinion if you can save your progression and replay some parts where you sucked...

    This is how I feel. Yet somehow I want to be challenged even more so in M:LL. I hope the difficulty on ALL the difficulty settings are increased. In other words I would like to see a more challenging normal mode, as well as a more challenging Ranger-Hardcore mode.

    I beat ranger-hardcore many times and now its the only way I play the game. Other difficulties are just boring now because I just steamroll it.:derp:

    I am going to be uploading a series on youtube:pop2: where I play Metro 2033 entirely from start to finish with the basic revolver all on Ranger-Hardcore mode. :)

    I promise It will be worth watching:pop2:. Uploads will being next week. I am currently preparing by practicing my skills with the ol' rusty 6shooter.;)

    *I have NO IDEA how Outpost can completed with only knives : /*

    is there a game called Real Life, really? I didn't know, honest, but I was referring to real, everyday, life. You made me smile, something I don't do much of lately, since my wife is unwell and I'm worried about her. Thanx! :D

    True enough, but he still was making a joke. lmao

    He said "real lifes" graphics are better then metros and theres a "server reset" each year. Hence real life being visually perfect and newyears.

    well, depends whether you wear glasses or not! I do for the PC only, and believe me all is kind of fuzzy if I'm online and don't wear them so the graphics get a bit 'ps one game in HD tv' type!!! :lol:

    btw, I'm just kidding, just following on the joke. and I believe we are getting very much off topic here....

    sorry super moderator von streff sir. this ranger apologises and promises to behave from now on. otherwise you might send her to clean out lurker's holes in the depths of the metro. :eek:

    Hey Jet, hope your wife gets better man. And Cheaptricks, I just did Outpost with only knives a couple days ago. It wasn't too difficult, I'm struggling with the Librarians with knives only now. I figured originally that I could throw a knife at his face then just hail mary at him swinging, but he killed me in two hits. (Regular Hardcore mode)

    So if I were to buy the DLC today should I start out on Ranger Mode Hardcore or Easy? I find it a lot easier in a game to start out on the hardest difficulty so I don't get used to playing it in an easier fashion.

    I have a perfect stealth route for Outpost now. No kills, 100% stealth.(Thanks Teddy)

    The librarians can be "stared down". Just don't look away from their eyes and don't get too close to them. Each librarian can be past without violence.

    About the knife only play-through:
    I concluded its impossible to do knife only. The reason is D6/Biomass. You can't pass the ameaba section of the game without using bullets. However every other level is knifeable ;)

    I don't know why but whenever there is the Third Reich in any given level, I cannot do the stealth route. It is somewhere in my genetic makeup that I must purge, stealthily, the entire level of any and every Nazi. I also must make it as scary for them as possible while I pick off each of their buddies.
