Looking for Crushing Shade Players

I want to beat every single Coop Shade Arena map on Crushing, as a Challenge and to find out if there is any reward at the end.  I've done it on Yemen, Airport, and Facility, but the problem is the people I play with are not always available.  I would like to have more PSN friends playing that mode, so I can always put a party together.   I play after 9PM EST on weekdays, and anytime on weekends.

If you are interested, send me a friend request and mention 'Shade' in the message.  I am specifically looking for expert players, who are capable of getting through all 8 crushing rounds:

1. You need to use Ao3 (I recommend Team Safe (to protect against knockdowns) and Regeneration on top of that, but it's not required).

2. Don't stick around in siege area if it's getting too hot.  Get out, draw the enemies away, and then come back.

3. Always shoot heavy enemies in the thigh area, so you can take off their armor faster.

4. Ideally you will have a mic, so we can coordinate on the fly.

5. All coop weapons upgraded to the max - that's a given.

I don't have shades mode because it wasn't available on the disc at launch for free, but if I did I would totally help you.

Well, since the event is sorta long, I'll bet my testicles it's and MP preview. And IGN is also attending, so it's gotta be something new.

I can help!

Myself and Toxic almost did it on Hard. We reached Round 8, 3 enemies were left but couldn't make it any further.

But that's great for 2 players!

Re: Looking for Crushing Shade Players

Me and my buddy Fledger are up for it. We did all 14 maps 2 player hard, and have done about 5? maps 3 players crushing. We use AO3 + KBE gold to make it 45 seconds - makes it much more efficient. We generally play without mics though, since we understand eachother quite well. The next couple of days isn't so great for me, since I'm still working on Scoped-In competitive, but during the week should be excellent for us. Add me on PSN.

Re: Looking for Crushing Shade Players

what do you get for beating them on crushing? I'd help, but I'll never use a mic

Re: Looking for Crushing Shade Players

I doubt you get anything however I personally think it would be cool if we had that skull emblem on our level badges for doing all shade maps on crushing. I'll wait to see if you do before I give it a go. It doesn't appeal to me, but if there was something at the end of it then I'd go for it because I'll have that incentive

I also doubt it, but am doing it as a challenge.  I hated Shade mode, but it actually grew on me after all these replays.  Got a few people now, and we beat about half the maps on Crushing so far.  Syria was by far the hardest up to this point.  Hopefully by next weekend I'll know the answer whether there is a reward or not.
