Yeah, that's no good. We've pretty much got the tactics down for hoard mode.

You've got to do things like scrounge for weapons and ammo before finishing off a wave. Pick up a few Mulchers and Boomshields before killing that last Locust. You've gotta find the most defensible areas on the map you choose, set up your defenses (usually a couple Boomshields blocking a small area, some grenade traps, and a Mulcher or two set up and ready to roll) get everyone in and take positions.

Most importantly, you've got to have that communication; you've got to know if someone goes down; you've got to have someone in position to let everyone know what's coming. Even if someone dies, they should be telling you where things are coming from.

My favourite was easily our stand on the map we finished Hoard on, which was Jachinto. We'd go up to the higher portion of the map on either side, block off the bottom steps with some Boomshields, and we'd be good to go. Brodie would normally be sporting the Mulcher from the top of the steps, Cure would usually be in the tower sniping and telling everyone what was coming, JameO would usually be at the bottom of the steps defending the Boomshields, and I'd go back and forth between helping Cure in the tower, defending the Boomshields, and continually putting up proximity grenades.

So much fun.
