So as I'm sure all of you know the AI in this game sucks. I would really like to try to beat the game on Pro and get the trophy for it. I would also like to get the trophy for getting an "S" rank on veteran mode or higher on all chapters.

I'm NOT going to try this with the AI, as all it will do is result in a busted controller. So if anyone would like to help me, or join me just add me on psn. Hopefully we will have fun in the process!!

Not sure what requirements are necessary to earn an "S" rank, but it shouldn't be to difficult.

Let's have some fun and kill some zombies!

You know I'm down.

I haven't tried a run yet, like you I'd rather do it with 3 other players, but some things I've heard:

• Your team's performance has no bearing on your's, and in turn your final grade is separate from theirs.
• Playing on Professional gives more "points" towards your final grade than playing on Veteran, thus playing on the former difficulty level seems much easier to S+ than on the latter's.

Not sure if they're true or not.

The biggest thing I would say with a run would be to know exactly where all the data is. I don't see kills, deaths, or time to be a problem.

Yeah, well as long as someone plays as Spectre than the data shouldn't be a problem. Spectre's map can show him where all the data is located if you have the proper upgrades.

Professional Mode S ranking is a joke because it's completely unfair. Part of getting an S rank is determined by how many files you collect in a level. But, only one player can actually collect them per level. Aka if you pick one up, I can't.

So that means only one person can actually get S rank on each level on Pro at a time. Aka, you would need to do Pro Mode 2-4 times in total for everyone in your squad to all get the S rank achievement. It's absolutely ridiculous.

And if you try to split it up like half and half for example on the files, it will give you a C or B for data collected which will drop your total Rank down from S to A even if you hit S on everything else. Again, it's ridiculously unfair.

I noticed I was hoarding some files a while ago when I was first playing as Spectre, but I did not think that they would make it impossible for more than one player to get an S.

Do you get an S for meeting or exceeding the data requirements? Playing solo, while painful, really helps in the long run I think. It's the best way to learn where items are and what triggers what. I played the first three levels alone on Vet and got an S easily on the first two. The power plant ruined an otherwise perfect run for me after the hospital.

SIGH.. well just add that to the list of reasons for why this game is less than stellar. I'm still up for trying though. I wouldn't mind running through a level multiple times to help everyone on the squad get an "S" rank.

Thanks for the heads up Ikari!

I used to have thought the same thing as Ikari. During one run, though, I barely collected any data, and I still managed to get an S grade in the Item department from the security cameras I shot. There's 20 some in each level, along with 20 some data to be collected aswell - with the requirement for Items being around 10, there's more than enough for three players, in theory. Also heard elsewhere that Raccoon's and Typewriter's go towards your Item per level automatically once you've found them - although I don't know if this is true or not. I should test it.

It varies per level what it takes to earn an S rank, I bought the BradyGames guide when I picked up my copy. All difficulties are the same for Kills, Deaths, Items and Clear Time. The only difference per difficulty is the bonus XP.

They couldn't even do this correctly, my god.

It's a way to lengthen the game, I suppose.
