FUCK YOU RESISTANCE 2!!
So, accepting the fact that even my godlike talent is not enough for this challenge, I try lowing the difficulty. It sends me back to the very beginning of the level, about an hour and a half of gameplay, a miniboss, and at LEAST ten checkpoints ago.
That's where the "FUCK YOU, GAME" moment happened, if that wasn't clear.
Ooookay. So I walk into this area where I have two paths in front of me, each of which leads down to same courtyard, which is covered in alien scum. There's a group of about 15 NPC soldiers covering the left path, but the right one is clear. As soon as I look down the right path, about 5 aliens randomly charge me. After some experimentation, I concoct a strategy. I immediately kill the charging aliens with a well placed grenade, then proceed to throw (let me think for a sec...carry the three and you get) NINE FUCKING GRENADES at the rest of the aliens. I do this because this is one of those sections that FPS developers love where the enemies just keep spawning until you make it past a certain point. I also can't stay in one place for very long because if I do, the stupid AI just charges me en masse. Not to mention the fact that my NPC allies routinely get overpowered and killed in about 20 seconds, so I have to watch THEIR asses too, or risk getting flanked. So I pretty much have to kill them all in one giant attack and move on. Now, I THOUGHT nine grenades (each of which hit their mark, I was very proud of myself) would do that, but NOPE! There's still about five left when I run to the other end of the courtyard, and another group just spawned right in front of me anyway. Now, I was AMAZING. Seriously, I probably killed around 20 aliens in half as many seconds. Even after the grenade attack failed, I still shot/beat down at least 10 more before I died. AND THEY JUST. KEPT. COMING.
