I have for you all to see a starategy that was worked out for Armored core 2 for the PS2. This strategy will allow you to defeat any and all AC's in the Arena, with relatively little effort. You don't believe me? Well, as one of the ones who worked out this strategy and tested it on every singe AC there, I can assure you it works. Check it out for yourself. Just go to Jon's Forum of Many Things. It is in the Games forum under The Strategy.

to much strategy, I'v done its with more ease.

The time to withstand the tides of battle is now. Set your defenses for you must not be swallowed by the madness.

Just get the dual vertical missiles (back weapon) and the support missiles (extension) then go to the desert stage (with the very tall building thingie. Climb to the top of that, then rain missiles down on your opponent. That's the easiest way...however, on some of the better piloting ACs, it might take longer...

PEACE YO!

I use the base level with the 4-5 tall towers, (i dont remember if that was the desert stage or not) but your right thats the best way, and for the higher ACs just fly from one tower to another to bring him out into the open. and dont forget the missle weapon arms just incase you use up the vertical missles.

I suppose you could do it that way, but I like my way better, you don't have to move anywhere, whereas, with yours, you have to get up to those places, and some of those AC's can be very fast, some new people to the game wouldn't be able to avoid fire long enough to get up. And, ArcAngel Counterstrike, what could be easier than just sitting in one spot pointing your targeting box at the enemy?

well, being new to the game, the player would not have the cash to use any of our plans anyway, but these plans are realy for higher ACs because many of the first ones are vary easy no matter what you do.
and yours does not always work, the level has the bridge that the ACs love to hide under when missles come, its a rather low building, and I had many a AC fly to the top and then pummel me with there energy blades, although they sometimes stay at the bottom, its not perfect. On the base level, yes you need to fly up to a tower, but the ACs will never touch you. and you dont have to get a anti missle system since the platform your on blocks all missles so you can have support systems adding the damage you do.

The building is actually quite high compared to your AC. Sure the towers are higher, but any one of these will work. and I only had one or two AC's get up to the top and only one actually land there.

Heh...then I'll toast your ass pretty bad in battle, you can't even climb the tower. just think...I can beat both Ares and Matthius at all out dogfighting...

PEACE YO!™

Actually I found Ares quite easy in dog fighting, specialy since I was equiped like some evil twin with all the same gear. but I did have some better internal gear. Hes a fun sparring partner.
