The Ghost ambush near the cave? I'm working on it.

The Brutes seem to be full of surprises to day. One of the Prowlers come in, and the Brutes start getting out...but the driver ends up splattering one of his passengers and destroying the armor of another.


No need now. I racked my brain and came up with a solid method earlier. I shared it with Jew man in hopes that he'd be able to use it as well to help get him caught up faster.

At last, Strategic Ark S.L.A.S.O. is now complete, signifying all nine strategic missions.

Guys, let's celebrate by doing some Quad C.L.A.S.O. this weekend. How does tomorrow at 1pm EST sound?


Lol. I already went and double checked my approach with a Warthog + FRG. It worked a second time. And yeah, considering what time I'm posting this and when you want to start...I should get back to sleep!

I know a flawless way to kill the 2nd last Chieftan (Plasma Cannon Brute)
Kill all the Brutes and leave him alive. PP him. Run down the left section. When you reach the end he will Beserk and charge you, making him easier to kill. And preserves ammo.

Also, Whats the best weapon to enter the final Buliding with? A BR or Carbine? Carbine being at full ammo. Not sure about BR.

Battle Rifle all the way.

As you can see from my video, you can pick up all the BR ammo you need by executing your Marines during the tank run. Just remember to space them out so the Marines don't turn on you.
The Battle Rifle allows for easier headshots for both Grunts and Brutes plus the Carbine Jackals at the end. Plus, if you need more BR ammo, two Marines with BRs enter the structure with you, and they'll be toast before you reach the Cartographer.

I had the same problem in my video. All three tanks were on my side, so the Scarab wouldn't budge. You'll have to lure it to the rocks and board it.

Yes. Use the tank to disable it, then jump up on the rock and down onto the Scarab. You should have enough elevation to do it successfully. You may need to back up in the tank first to get the scarab closer to the rock if it's too far. I was able to do it three times on the practice run.

Hey Tyrant, sent you a PM.

Haha, do you remember me? I pretty much fell into a coma for the whole summer and didn't play Xbox LIVE.

Scarab down. One of the Scorpions was stuck. So I moved it and it went to the Scarab which made it turn around :)

Also, I'm down to 1 Clip left of BR ammo. And I killed a Marine to get his ammo. Anywhere were I can grab some ammo?

Both Marines that enter the structure will have BRs. Without a doubt, they'll get their asses handed to them in the room right before the cartographer. As long as you don't use it except when you need it, you can pick up their ammo and be fine.

Oh..my..god! I reached the top and threw a Spike Grenade at the Invisible Brute. Went THROUGH him. I charged by PP and fired at him. Went through his LEGS! He killed me.

Geez! Yeah I had trouble with him too. In my video he kept just barely dodging everything I had to throw at him. Sit tight. I'm signing on to help out.

Ouch! Well, I call that the Battle of the Twin Chieftains since it's the only area in the game where you have the chance to fight two at once.

  • 09.13.2008 5:18 PM PDT

For the moment, I've done a bit more observing of the area from the overpass. I figured...there's a Grav Lift up there. But why is there a Grav Lift up there?

So, I found a use for it. I used it to position a Chopper up on a hill to the right of the overpass. The Chopper will tend to fall off, though, so I'm wanting to get a Warthog on that hill instead. The disadvantage is that I can't really see over by where the Wraith comes in.

Maybe you can break some Tsavo Highway mortality records for SLASO :-)

Speaking of which, Strategic Ark S.L.A.S.O. is now on GameVee. Enjoy! :-)

You guys are awesome. I tried for a joke Sierra 117 on S.L.A.S.O and failed miserably within seconds. It really is tougher than it looks, and the skull that completely turns off the HUD really is impossible.
