Competitions

Win Syndicate on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC! - (Closed)

Congratulations to MacDeath_ZA (Xbox 360), LAblak22 (PS3) and Cerberus (PC) for each winning a copy of Syndicate. Thanks to everyone for entering and to EA South Africa for sponsoring the awesome prizes!

When EA and Starbreeze Studios confirmed that a ‘re-invented’ first-person iteration of Syndicate was in the works, nostalgic gamers the world over immediately decried the publisher/developer pair’s lack of reverence for the original, classic cyberpunk strategy game series.

As the months went on, however, and more information, screenshots and videos came to light, gamers were slowly won over by the new vision for the franchise, while the recently released demo put a nail in the coffin of any doubts we may have had about the game’s additional four-player co-operative mode.

Syndicate Competition Banner

Due for release in South Africa on February 24th across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, EA South Africa and El33tonline are giving you all a chance to win a copy of the tactical first-person action game on all platforms, and to stand in line to win we’re giving you a task worthy of an agent:

“Tell us how you would use three of Syndicate’s combat abilities to take down a group of six enemies in the game.”

Need a clue about which abilities are available in Syndicate? Look over El33tonline’s previous coverage of the game, and watch this trailer, for hints.

Simply leave your answer below, and also be sure to tell us which platform you prefer (Xbox 360, PS3 or PC), and you might just be filling the technology-imbued boots of an agent in Syndicate!

We’re going to run this Syndicate competition until the very end of February 26th.

Special thanks to EA South Africa for providing the prizes!

(Note: This competition is open to residents of South Africa only.)

A group of six, YAWN!

So first of for the distraction i would use temporary insanity on the 2nd guy from the left grabbing the attention of the 2 guys next to him.

While the 3 are occupied use weapon malfunction on the 2nd guy from the right getting him to kill his 2 cohorts next to him with a bullet to the head for his treason.

For the grand finale they will see me coming and can do nothing about it. Hit the time augmentation and rush them dodging bullets left right and centre to get up close and personal and take them out.

Done and dusted 6 enemies down just another day at the office.

Persuasion is always fun, right? Use malfunction on one of the enemies and immediately use suicide, just to see him suffer while attempting to kill himself with a non-functional weapon, then persuade another to shoot up the entire team.

I might even go and lend a helping hand to the futile attempt at suicide by the first enemy.

Pfft, easy peasy japanesey ;)

I'd just cause 1 guy's weapon to malfunction with the backfire ability. While he struggles with that and gets pwned the others will probably be distracted so I'd then have an opening to use the induce insanity (suicide) option on 3 of them.

Then I'd persuade 1 of the remaining 2 to switch allegiance and BOOM, they'll be taken of.

Dart 6 FTW! ;D

Persuade for me I do feel that is my greatest ability as a person in the real world and have always been good at making people switch sides and do my bidding without breaking to much of a sweat lol PS3

Six guys? Not a problem. Open up with persuade to create a distraction and get a few cheap kills. Enter Dart vision mode for enhanced awareness and reactions to help my new found ally and because I find it perversely fun I would end the last enemies life with forced suicide.

I would start with persuading one of the guys in the middle. This should get the attention off me a little. Then I would use a suicide on one, malfunction on another, who hopefully kills one or two of my enemies. After that, I'd slow down time and take the last ones standing nice and slooooow. PS3 please

Easy! Persuade and enemy to turn on his squad. As soon as they pull out their weapons, I'd make their weapons backfire. For the lone survivor, I'd hack his mind and make him commit suicide. Just another day at the office for this agent ;)

Script writing powers combine with IMPROV skills then ACTIVATE!

The situation: I'm stuck near the end of the mission. I have the valuable data I just spent 2 hours 21 minutes and 02 seconds sneaking around and hacking trying to get and I have nothing much left in the tank. I want to get out so I have to make that as easy as possible.

The problem: Ahead of me are 4 guys in the foyer near the exit while 2 stand guard at the end of the hallway I'm in. What do I do? Well, the DART 6 system is there for a reason, right?

First I'd concentrate on the 2 closest to me. I'd sabotage their weapons with the malfunction system. But obviously they aren't using them, so that would be for later.

Then, I'd use the insanity system on two of the four, thus they take themselves out and the other two with them. Cue me walking out and revealing myself in all my epic Cyberpunk sexiness.

The 2 guards will see me and try to take me out, but alas, backfire, yo. Which will lead to me delivering some bullets to le_brains; 2 shots each (don't forget to double tap, kids).

Now as I make my way to the exit, I find that one survived his squad-mates' previous unfortunate bout, but I already took 2 lives, what is a man to do? Oh that's right: why kill a man when you can make him do it?

Enter the persuasion system, which will see him do that job for me.

So with everyone dead, why not just walk out the door like the boss I am? And that is just what I do. XD

I'd use persuasion to turn an enemy soldier to a distraction, hopefully takes down a couple of enemies, make at least two of the hostile's guns malfunction, and suicide at least one.

Any disconcerted stragglers I'd deal with myself

definately the combo shot taking advantage of the DART system
persuasion comes next and while helping the distracted with some bullets, a malfunction could come into play and a final suicide.

hmm... so many options.

First I'd hack one of the hapless drones and cause him to go insane and kill himself to strike fear into the others.
Then while they stare at each other panic stricken I'd hack another one annd have him slaughter his comrades. And to finish everythng off I'll make use of the time augmentation to finish off the final guy in cool cinematic matrix style - SLOW MO HEADSHOT!!!

Use Persuade on 1 to turn him on the other 5, then go in gunning whie attenton is split betwene me and him, make others weapons backfire. then finish it off by using suacide on the persuaded one.

I am aware someone here already said those 3 in that order. but that is what I would do too. great minds think alike.

PS3 please

Clear evidence as to why Im not a creative person...
Use persuade on one to get him to turn on the other 5 okes. Then use backfire for who ever is left. Go in like Rambo and do what I do best. And for the final guy i will use suicide.

So first thing I do is bash through the door into the room with 6 people. As I bash through, the thug at the door notices me and begins to tear my health away. Good thing I came into the room with a shotty! BOOM! 5 more to go! I notice there are 2 baddies on a railing above me, but they've unfortunately been alerted thanks to my less-than-stealthy entrance. They spot me, shoot me, and kill me :/

LOADING ...

Ooookay. Maybe I should use this DART 6 tech a little more wisely. First thing I do this time is activate enhanced awareness mode and notice that the other 3 baddies are far away within the room and won't hear me till I'm close. I open the door to the room (quietly this time) and use that cool laser gun that shoots sideways to silently kill the thug keeping patrol by the door. Next I have to take care of the 2 guys on the railing. I use backfire on the one dude's gun and persuade the other one to be my teamie just in case the backfire doesn't work. Then I run into the room with my best troll face on :D The dude that isn't my teamie notices me, readies his gun, and proceeds to blow his own head off xD not needing my new-found ally, I decide to pop a cap or two of hot plasma into his face. Wokay, that leaves the 3 guys deeper within the room. As I get closer, I notice that they're conveniently huddled closely together, and that they're talking about their hidden detection system that's recently been installed. No problemo! I chuck an EMP grenade, disabling the system, and run in for some kills! Activating my slow-mo ability gives me just enough time to equip my minigun before the baddies even know I'm there. The last thing they hear before I end their existence is the spinning of my barrel ... PZEEEEEW! And I just killed 6 dudes in an uber-stylish, totally unnecessary manner (but that's what Syndicate is about!)

Thanks for reading my story, and my platforms of choice are Xbox 360 and PC ;)

In the shadows i notice 6 guys in the room... I Need a distraction. I see a 'weaker' individuals and give him some craziness.. Temporary Insanity FTW. Shouting... random cries and bullets shot.

That should do the trick... Temporary insanity causes chaos and panic in the group and gives a Perfect opportunity to throw some persuation out there...I target another freaked out enemy: "Kill the crazy one. He's a harzard to everyone in the room." BAM! He shoots. There's internal killing, shots are fired and 1 unlucky guy is killed for shooting one of his own. paranoid faces and fear, everyone's distracted.

Time to come in for the kill. Augment time and clean up the remaining forces FAST and CLEAN. They wont know what hit them.

I Will activate Dart overlay and then hack the first enemy to kill himself and then when they all distracted and standing in a group around the guy that just died then I'll burst into the room and when they try and shoot me their guns will missfire as I have hacked them before I ran in and it makes for easy killing. Xbox 360 Please.

Persuasion on middle offensive, while he engages one enemy I'd use a backfire on the other, then hack 4 suicide on the strongest man stading and engage any potential survivers. Boom, Bob's your uncle.

I would use persuade to persuade one of the six to turn on his colleagues. While this is happening, I will use backfire to jam the remaining five's weapons and finally I would use suicide on the last remaining one. Easy as pie. Xbox 360

I'd use temporary insantiy on one of them, and when the others are attempting to deal with him, I'd lob an explosive into the middle of them. Any survivors would have their weapons jammed by malfunction while I pick them off. The corporation values efficiency.

Xbox 360, please.
