None of my friends have Bulletstorm, but I'd love to have a friend's leaderboard to compete with, so I figured I'd make this thread for like-minded Bombers who want some score-based competition, but lack the current friends list to do so. Also maybe we could get some arranged Anarchy going. Who knows?

Echoes Scoreboard Gamertag Thread
Sounds good to me. My gamertag is big bad sleazy. I can't do competitive multiplayer because of my piss-poor connection, but this should be fine.
Also, I'm curious, anyone else try doing one weapon runs of levels? I started doing that in the Demo to warm up and to spot new skill shot opportunities I might not have seen otherwise due to having an existing plan in mind that I do everytime. I've only done this for Collapsed Building so far since I feel it's best to do this long after you get a good solid feel for a level, but still it's worth trying I think.
My only gripe with Echoes is that you can't use the weapons from later in the game in earlier echoes. Such a shame because the Drill Gun is amazing. Hopefully whatever DLC Echoes they release won't have that problem.
None of my friends have the game yet either so I could use some people on my leaderboard too.
My gamertag is spike58. And I'll play Anarchy mode whenever too.
Haven't done any single gun runs outside of those that the game limits you to one weapon. Pretty much mastered the PMC trying to beat kalsey's hideout score. Basically, finding the perfect spots to use X-Ray. X-Ray is one hell of a skillshot. So many points. Let me break it down: 2 kills: 400 Pt. 3 kills: 900pt. 4 kills: 1600 pt. (unconfirmed, just going with the pattern). If it's your first kill of that type tack on another 400 points. So if it's your first X-Ray of the run and you kill 4 people, you get an instant 2K. Crazy.
So this is pretty fun- you all need to complete all the echos though :) Also - we ought play some anarchy. Last night I had two pretty long rounds with randos who were 'doing it right' and the gameplay was really really fun. I think anarchy mode runs a little faster than normal single player stuff so that's fun. Also- it is really un-fun when you play with people who don't understand how to work together.
So yeah, this is totally an open invitation if anybody else wants to get in on this and make it a three or four man team, as long as you have a mic, so we can chat, (even though I didn't use mine when we played, haha), I'm sure with some more skilled players involved we will get pretty far, and maybe even some pre-game planning in terms of divvying out the weapons to maximize damage and such, (I'm just thinking ahead and out loud here, haha).
So yeah, GG, TheMasterDS!
Yeah, gg @Napalm:. It was my first anarchy mode attempt so it was a little shaky at first, but we got into the grove of it a few rounds in. Key seems to be to go for those Team Skillshots whenever possible. Also don't get a trust fund and choose weapons right. At first I guessed that the Pistol would be the right one to get because I like the pistol more than the assault rifle, but since I can only have one side arm eventually I figured I should use one that gets bigger points, like the drillgun or the flailgun. Eventually I settled on the shotgun and ran with it. It's pretty solid as far as weapons go.
Maybe we could also compare Anarchy Mode notes and elevate each other as well!
Probably will go for Shotgun in the future because it's so nice to slide into dudes firing. Only thing is I have to get a good Thump to get any use out of the charged shot, which meant I was sitting on a charged round for 3 or 4 rounds during our game. Still, it's so damn handy in terms of good solid points I suppose I should just roll with it. If anything else I'd pick up the Revolver because it was my favorite in the demo, or the flail because it has some of the best potential Skillshots. Still, considering there are upgrades, might be better to specialize in a gun early instead of unlocking them all for variety. It's kind of a shame really.
I've also found there isn't much of a benefit to the revolver unless the speed is upgraded, because even if the freaks get thumped, it still takes more than four shots to take a single guy out, and even then it's difficult to get surgeon.
After playing with some randoms, I'd probably guess the real reason playing with randoms is crap is because people are always stealing the shots you want to get off for no apparent reason. That is to say, when I'm trying to get Acid Rain some other guy comes along and snags one of the guys I was trying to do it with leaving me with only one dude. Great! Also they don't do fancy finishers on the minibosses despite the fact that provides double the points.
Try harder to get good at X-Ray. It's the cheapest way to get LOADS of points.
Don't miss out on other opportunities though to try and get it, though. It takes specific types of situations and positioning for it to really work well. Generally when a group of enemies spawn from the same place, get their attention, line them up and go for it. Otherwise, don't waste the time, especially in anarchy mode when you probably won't be able to "hold aggro" for very long.
" @TheMasterDS: Back on top (of my friends list at least), as it should be. Have fun! "This is no longer the case I'm afraid, I am now 5000 points above you after a remarkably good run on Monorail in which I got 12000 points. No X-Ray or Boned either, all just a lot of crazy weapons switching every 30 seconds. Still need to get that down. Since it is very contextual, maybe the key is dedicating a run to looking for X-Ray spots. Seems easy enough.
Yeah, it's going to be awhile before most people get in the groove of the game, especially multiplayer, but playing with randoms is almost always going to be a disaster. TheMasterDS and myself have had great success as a two-man team, but later on, shit has started to get a little too crazy, even with beefed up health, so having an extra gun or two on deck certainly wouldn't hurt! :p
Also, I'm not too familiar with skillshots involving some of the later weapons, (that you acquire in the campaign), so I know those can definitely help beef up our scores.
Third, and most important- the flail gun is best (imho) in anarchy for getting the sadist points. That means you hit dudes and let a teammate kill them before the grenades go off or you kill the dude yourself. That makes it so you help the team, and people who do more of the 'just shoot the baddies' thing get some points (team points are good points), so it involves them somewhat unwittingly. Also, you can get the gang bang and such with the sadist if the dude dies in a group of enemies as the grenades still go off.
That's my 2p on the gun- I was thinking of trying the screamer but if they don't always ignite dudes that would suck. I am finding that with secondary weapons a team of people need variety (each person have a different one), and that the 'killer' secondaries (penetrator, the bomb thingy and the shotgun) aren't as effective because they are more 'one-shot' kill items. The other thing I find helps is getting a second weapon early
