DRL: Xtreme Arena
Tormuse:
I got Survivor Ribbon! :D
I did it in Chained Court. I took Brute as my starting trait and used the berserk pack to run through the lava and kill the two Knights. (That way, I didn't have to drain the lava) Then, I killed all the formers, being careful to leave one injured Former Human as the last enemy. Then, I very *very* carefully stepped into the lava over and over again until I was down to 2% health, then finished off the last guy. I don't know if I needed to still be at 2% when I left the level, but I didn't want to take any chances, so I passed up a Supercharge on my way out. (Which was a contributing factor to me not surviving the first round of the Arena) :P
Unfortunately, all the attempts I made at this lowered my career average below Vandam again! :o (This included attempts where I carried out the above strategy right up until the end and then stayed in the lava a little too long or got shot by the last guy; *facepalm*) I'll have to see if I can bring that up again. :)
MaiZure:
Congratz...maybe?
Sometimes you gotta ask yourself if it's really worth it...
One thing is for sure, any time someone earns a survivor ribbon, there's probably a story behind it. Maybe it should only apply to the KK fight? Nah, I like it where it is.
Go get VANDAM!

Just for the story is worth it, I think. :D
Also, one thing I meant to comment on earlier...

The "Onslaught" and "Conquest of Hell" challenges are still listed ingame as "upcoming game modes." Sounds like you did have some ideas for additions. Just sayin' :)

The conquest of hell was meant to be a special level gauntlet - no arena, just one special after the next. Unlocks after you've actually finished each level on domination. Not really a fully developed idea, but I toyed with branching between levels, etc. Never got beyond the mental exercise.
Onslaught was supposed to be just one never-ending arena level, round after round and see how far you get. The gimmick here was that only formerly successful marines in the arena could enter this mode. In the main game room, I had the idea that you could "Store" up to 5 past surviving heroes as statues on the side somewhere. Walk up to it and become him to enter the mode?
Just the ideas...
EDIT: The idea that you could revisit past heros had a lot of appeal. But you couldn't 'grow' them any more than their original arena run.
EDIT2: I probably shouldn't mention that I had a local network Versus arena working with a buddy :P.

That can't be right, then. I just played a couple games where I completed Arena rounds without damage and I still haven't achieved it. I see that some other people achieved it, so I assume it's possible, but there must be some other condition.

It's too bad it never got finished, then, because that sounds like a really cool idea! :)
