Great guide .

thank you

Had a question, when you say Reset the game, do you mean Restore Checkpoint is bad?  Because I just did that since I grab a shotgun and shot someone by mistake while I was going for the 10 chapter Melee.  I think I screwed up the ones you commented for Reset no?

Either way it's cool, I'll just playthrough again, oh darn.

 CLS IceThrasher wrote:

Hey Emerald, sorry I answered my own question since I just got the Second Propaganda achievement.  I guess Restore Checkpoint was ok.  I should have just waited instead of being anxious.

its fine, dont worry, yeah you can restore checkpoints

No worries. I saw your other post. Hmm *Spoiler*

I assume you feel for the trap for shooting seriel killer x, i did first time also
