Hey what are you, some sort of punker?
I hate punkers, especially bald ones with green makeup.... who wear masks over their ugly faces?

Congradulations on completing it.
how long did it take?
and was there anything new to the story line?
and did you receive anything for doing it?
i did hear a rumor that it was how to unlock the recon and/or bungie
but didnt put any truth into it, mainly coz i didnt know anyone who had done it

lol. Well to answer your questions:

Each level varied. The shortest was Floodgate which took just under an hour. The longest was The Ark by far and it took nearly 11 total hours.

Nope. Nothing new to the storyline. The rumors of a new ending were false.

Yes, you receive something for doing it. The satisfaction of being able to complete the game on the hardest possible setting...and being one of the first in the world to do so :-)

Actually, The Ark took longer than any other level. A total of 11 hours of online game time to beat it. That's not counting the offline practice time.

One thing. Don't bother trying to kill the Hunters. Run like a mo-fo!

You cant just run through it. He had to have spent a ton of time gunning.

Different levels called for different tactics. Floodgate, Halo, and Cortana was stricting running, hiding, equipment deployment, and Arbiter.

Other levels, such as Sierra 117, Crow's Nest, The Storm, and The Ark required me to take my time, collect the proper weapons, and use them sparingly.

And still other levels like Tsavo Highway and The Covenant required planning ahead. Those two weren't overly difficult if you were properly prepared for the right battles. But if you weren't...

For example, you could simply drive through most of Tsavo Highway and be fine up until the last battle. If you weren't properly prepared for Wraith jacking, then you were royally screwed.
