Flint7 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Many people looking to do these trophies without boosting might find that they are very difficult. First, it is very hard (almost impossible) to actually find a game. Second, when you actually do find a game, there's a good chance you'll lag. My favorite weapon, the shot cannon, is not really usable with any amount of lag. Third, your teammates are often reckless and waste both ammo and life. There is a trick to doing this solo, and credit goes to Zcoordination (through VorTeX Raptor). At first it did not work for me, but having figured that out I thought I would share what I learned. 1) Unplug all devices from the USB ports on your PS3. This includes your charge cable and any extraneous peripherals (including wireless receivers for things like Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Buzz Quiz TV, and so on). This is very important. 2) Shut off your PS3. You can power it down if you like. This just ensures your PS3 is totally unaware of any controllers except the one you use to turn it on. 3) Turn it back on and go into the game. Select Local Play under Co-op Assault, and when it asks Player 2 to Press X use the PS button (either hold it and get the quick menu or tap it and go through the XMB) to change your existing controller to 2. 4) Press X, and then on the next screen change your controller back to 1. Select a map and start the game. You will start with one player. What I discovered is that if you have *any* other controllers of any type that are still connected, you will start with two players a dialog telling you to reconnect the second controller. It does not work, for example, with a Buzz Quiz TV USB receiver plugged in even if your controllers are off and buried. It doesn't work if you have two controllers and you're charging your spare (like I always do with the one that isn't in use). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chackijhan Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) So you start a co-op mission with just one player? Edit: It worked! Edited November 15, 2010 by chackijhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman919 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 This is very interesting. Would you say that it makes getting these trophies easier or harder though since it's just you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint7 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 This is very interesting. Would you say that it makes getting these trophies easier or harder though since it's just you? I think it's easier since the negatives of being the only target are outweighed by the positives of not having to worry about somebody else dying. Also, you will have a ton of credits to spend on ammo and upgrades. Through the course of the first level, at least, I was able to get an upgrade for the Assault Rifle, every bit of rifle and shotgun ammunition available, every hardened armor available, and probably all of the large health kits as well.

Blaze Naruto Shippuden Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 shit! you saying I can do the online trophies by my self by change the local co-op settings to glitch into one player solo while the game still reads it as "co-op" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

equiray Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 i did both trophies on hydrophonics solo, was pretty easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berrule Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Awesome find and thanks for sharing! I was just about to start on the co-op and was dreading it. I like multiplayer games but only when it actually works well with an active community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dralith Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 This method saved me a lot of time looking for a good partner. Finished Hydroponics solo first time through by just pacing it slow. Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbercons Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thank you so very much!!! This method worked like a charm! A charm I say! I was prepared to be disappointed when I saw the end level stats come up, but then that awesome sound rang true through the air. Don't bother waiting for help. Do it yourself, it works!

SupremeSmile Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 when i did this awhile ago and got the platinum, its noticeable but not so bad if your taking your time through whichever the level your doing but you can't move the camera as you are 2 players in 1 controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGarnigle Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Great tip. I must say though it is so annoying that you can't control the camera while doing this. That said, it's still pretty easy doing this solo Edited June 14, 2011 by McGarnigle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
