it seems like a chopper would be easier anyway because you don't have to make such a strong effort to keep your marines from doing stupid things.


Yep, And If you collect the FRG you can make you're Tank a killing machine. I had 3 FRG's on my Tank during CLASO practice of The Ark.

Tank + Marine with FRG/Rockets/Splazer = Awesome

Tank + 2 Marines with FRG/Rockets/Splazer = Domination

Tank + 3 Marines with FRG/Rockets/Splazer = Priceless

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

I still like my method for the second area. Allowing the Hunters to come quicker and getting the remaining enemies to retreat to the hillside. The four of us should be able to easily pick them off, particularly since the Elites all have beam rifles. Then he can just 'nade the Hunters so they dive off the side.


That's what I'm saying, though. Unlike the other times where I tried, Hunter 1 cannot retaliate. As long as Hunter 2 is preoccupied with shooting at someone, he can't come to the aid of Hunter 1, who is getting bludgeoned to death. And it's about 10x easier when all the Brutes can't shoot at me because they're up on the hill.

I'm not saying I want to use what I found for the Ark. But on the Storm, between Starocean and I, we both have a way of dealing with the Hunters relatively fast.

Right now I'm just waiting on the video. It's taking a while to load.


Sounds like a plan to me. I usually let the Arbiter do all the work on The Storm anyway ;-)

According to your service record, you haven't played so much as one mission on Legendary by yourself.

Yep. I noticed that too. He may mean offline, but without evidence, it really means nothing.

You should do Floodgate next. It's easier than Halo, so you may as well get it out of the way.

Thanks for the advice just finished matchmaking and will start floodgate

The second video I've got up. This one is about killing Hunters SLASO. Think a single Spiker can be used to kill two Hunters in less than 1:30? See for yourself!

Didn't know you were a fan of Final Fantasy, Vince, lol.

Good catch. I wasn't sure if anyone would realize which game that was from. Nobuo Uematsu is one of my favorite composers next to Marty O'Donnell.

Jew man, I reviewed your video and it really does appear that the death barrier killed you. A glitch maybe? I experienced an odd one too yesterday. In the Prowler area, you know how the Prowlers aren't supposed to show up until all the Covenant in the area have been killed? Well, yesterday I moved around to kill the last Brute. As I moved in for the kill, I heard a slight humming sound. I didn't think much of it. So I killed the Brute and immediately started taking damage. I wheeled around only to find myself nose to nose with both Prowlers! I actually managed to get pretty far before they killed me, but still, just the fact that they came early...

They might trigger if you walk past a certain point I think, or maybe if you walk past that point with a certain number of enemies dead.

I tested the jump theory. It seems, I did jump in the wrong place. Theres a higher and lower part of the ramp to jump from. I jumped from the higher part, which was wrong. I should have jumped from the lower one.

CLASO tonight?

Hm...so apparently I got a comment on my video. Here's what it says...

"its pointless you melee like 6 times which is like 3 clips of spiker each"

I'm afraid I don't understand what the person is saying. It's pointless that I killed a Hunter? Or does he think the fact I uses melees make the fact I used a Spiker invalid?

I think they missed the point, which is that the Spiker and Plasma Rifle have a stun effect, which makes a loop like I did possible.

Fire X times - Hunter stunned
Melee Hunter - Hunter starts counterattack
Fire X times - Hunter is stunned and cannot counterattack.

Edit: I think we have CLASO tonight, since it is Friday.

Don't listen to them. I think what you're pulling off here is fantastic. It's not like we'll have AI Arbiter for CLASO. We'll need these methods when dealing with the Hunters.
