Every game is always better with friends. Don't judge the demo based on shitty AI or playing with some dumbfuck who just runs around like an idiot.
The one time I made an open slot when I was playing with my friends, the guy who joined played the demo as if the score/rank was the ONLY thing that mattered. He immediately ran for all the data posts and then hid himself on the map, sniping at the monster whenever he had the chance to and stealing all the good weapons. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz
If you really want to own that Akrid, there's a mech inside a cave that three people can ride. Two of us picked up rocket launchers before boarding, then all three of us blasted the fuck out of the Akrid (forget its legs and go for the hit points on top of its back and inside its mouth) and set the mech down to finish the job with rockets. I think I was the only one who died, and that was because I suicided by accident when the Akrid was dead.
