Anyway the Wrath Skull just got me again, I was playing through The Storm and I'd just hopped on a Mongoose ready to enter the second lake bed only for a marine to shoot a Rocket at me for no reason whatsoever. To say the least I was shocked seeing as I was making a decent time too (18 mins before the Wrath skull activated).
Ah well, the film is saved for the laughs it provided.
Oh and the Storm seems really easy, it's fun to headshot Grunts and the tactics necessary are much more similar to the style of play I use in multiplayer so it all seems more familiar.
Gazas that video is brilliant, it's exactly what I use whenever I play Crow's Nest apart from the Brute Shot bit which is amazing. Who knew that Brute Shot grenades could pass through that mesh?
I guess I'll respond to this in two portions:
I know why the Marine shot at you. Did you skip the Chieftain fight? See, the Chieftain 'n' Pals try to follow so they can shoot at you...and the Marines tend to notice them. It just so happened you were in the path of the rocket.
What's worse is what the Marines who I gave a Rocket Launcher to on the Ark would be aiming horribly...and several times they would shoot at a point nowhere near an enemy. Most of the time, they happened to be shooting at the other Tanks. I was half expecting one of the tanks to blow up and all hell break loose as Guilty Spark and Marines gun me down...
As for the Brute Shot thing, who knew? Starocean Zero did. Unless he got that from Pahat, that's where it came from (Starocean taught it to Tyrant, Jew man, and myself...and it's obviously in the guide)
But speaking of the Ark...
Six down, three to go.
If there was a phrase for this particular mission I used a lot...it had to be "I regret nothing!" Blasted Scarab kept getting stuck shooting at a tank that was pretty much right next to it's feet. I left my Tank for a Chopper and attempted to boost off a ramp on to it, and I slipped off. As I'm driving away, the Scarab charges and fires the main cannon at me, I get caught in it and go skidding in to a rock and fall out, yelling "I regret nothing!" I got the Scarab to start moving again and lost my shields...but at least it was moving. Soon after, one of the Tanks was stepped on and went spiraling in to a wall before crashing to the ground and being blown apart by the A.A. gun.
To cut the story short, after switching through a total of four vehicles (Tank to Chopper to Ghost to Gauss Warthog), the Scarab dies.
