Journey To Platinum - Medal of Honor: Warfighter [Part 2 ~ Multiplayer Trophies]

A lot of people, myself included, views the multiplayer in Medal of Honor as a cross between Call of Duty and Battlefield. Fortunately for me, I (mostly) enjoy both the aformentioned franchies, so stepping into Warfighters multiplayer didn't require much of an adjustment plus I also played the previous MoH game, so I had some previous experience to fall back on. My opinion on the multiplayer is split, on the one hand there were moments where I was genuinely having fun but then at other times, I was getting stupidly frustrated/annoyed by the lag, bugs and underpopulated servers. If you've completed the SP trophies and thought they were time consuming, you defintely won't be happy to see the MP trophy list. The time scale will vary depending on your skill level but you can easily expect to spend at least double the amount of time playing the MP, compared to how long you spent on SP. Bottom line is, most of the MP trophies are very grindy, so if you're not patient enough to get through them, I'd probably advise moving onto another game.

Journey To Platinum - Medal of Honor: Warfighter [Part 1 ~ Single Player Trophies]

If someone had said to me I'd eventually go on to plat Medal of Honor: Warfighter when I initially started playing the game, I'd have laughed in their face. But here we are, nearly a year after first loading up the disk, I'm now writing my second Journey To Platinum article on it! :O I'm not really sure why I decided to go back to the game, lord knows I've got enough un-played (and many un-opened) titles in my game library to get stuck into, I guess it's just in my nature to see things through to the end. I did play the previous MoH title and it was fairly enjoyable, so I decided to give the sequel a whirl. I think I prefere the SP in MoH than MoH:W but that isn't to say it was bad, it just wasn't as refreshing as the first, the multiplayer however I think is improved in MoH:W but I'll speak a bit more about that in the multiplayer trophies article. Anyway as SP trophies go, the ones in MoH:W are pretty hard, so if you're going for the platinum, you should be prepared for some considerable effort and numerous re-tries.

How to Farm Salvage and Earn Easy XP in Solo Private Matches - Tomb Raider Multiplayer

During the research stage of earning my platinum for Tomb Raider, I read on more than one occasion that salvage could actually be farmed while in private matches and furthermore, that it could be done solo. A little more research revealed that the same was also supposedly true of XP, now while I didn’t think all these people were collectively lying, I was somewhat sceptical and quite confused. Reason being, I’ve never come across a multiplayer game, where progress made in private matches is saved and actually carries over into public matches.

So I decided to check for myself, I created a private match, started it up and sure enough the game got under way with just me in the lobby. I then proceeded to complete the objectives and crack open a few crates along the way, when the round ended I opted to return to the lobby, noting that the game was saving some data. I then left my private lobby and began searching for a public match, after some time I was plonked me into a public lobby, where I was able to confirm that both salvage and XP earned privately, had indeed been saved and carried over.

Journey To Platinum - Tomb Raider [Part 2 ~ Multiplayer Trophies]

A few days ago I posted part one of my Journey To Platinum article on Tomb Raider, in which I discussed my tips and tactics for completing the single player trophies. Today I'm bringing you part two, which will cover all the multiplayer trophies. Enjoy, Al.

Adventurer - Complete a match in all multiplayer modes. 

There are four different modes in Tomb Raiders multiplayer and to unlock the trophy, you just need to play a single match in each mode (casual or ranked) and stay until the end, doesn’t matter if you win or lose and it still counts even if you joined the match late. The four modes are: Rescue, Team Deathmatch, Cry For Help and Free-For-All.

Journey To Platinum - Tomb Raider [Part 1 ~ Single Player Trophies]

Welcome guys and gals, to the first ever Journey To Platinum article! Today I'll be discussing the trophies that can be completed in Tomb Raider, now to avoid making this post insanely long, I've decided to split them between two posts: single player (this article) and multiplayer trophies. I'd heard a lot of good things about Tomb Raider before I got around to playing it a last month and I'm glad say that it lived up to the hype, initially I thought the multiplayer was crap but as I played it more, there were moments where I actually had fun. It was at this point that I decided to go for the platinum trophy, it took a few weeks but I enjoyed the process and now I'll be sharing what I learnt along the way, so that you may do the same :)

What Have I Been Doing Since Last Year?

Hey guys and gals, sorry it's been a while since my last post, I'm not really sure where the last nine(!) months have gone to be quite honest O_O For those that are interested in my activities during my absence, carry on reading from here, for those that just want to know what I'm planning for AcornVision now that I'm back, skip down to the bottom. Righto, let's begin, I suppose it's best if I start from where I last left off and then go from there... When Call of Duty: Ghosts launched last year, I thought for sure that I'd have a load of content I'd love to talk about but unfortunately, it wasn't all it was hyped up to be and I actually spent a surprisingly small amount of time playing the multiplayer. And as you might already know, if I don't particularly enjoy something, I'm not going to spend a lot of time and effort writing up articles, just for the sake of doing so, that's not how I roll. Granted I could've knocked out other articles on things not Ghost related but at that time it started getting busy at my place of work and so between being tired, a tad (read: really) lazy and not having any ideas I thought were worth pursuing, I kinda just stopped doing anything creative for AcornVision :/
