If I've got time I think I might watch his runs just to see if he deviated from the walkthrough at all.I would have to say I probably stuck to about 99% of the walkthrough.
I improvised a couple of times here and there and decided to try a different technique for some parts which seemed to work better for me personally, but for the most part I tried to adhere to the walkthrough.
A few differences that stick out in my mind...
Sierra 117
I didn't kill Johnson for his BR at the start. Although I understand why that was on the walkthrough, (the AR start was rubbish).
The Storm
I quite often jumped off one of the cranes onto the Scarab as it didn't turn around for me when I was on the missile pods.
Cortana
I took a needler with me through Hell's Hallway and into The Hive. I wasn't very good at jumping from the Carbine crate onto the ledge in the Hallway, so I decided to run along the floor using the needler to knock ranged flood off the ceiling onto the floor where I would then melee them. (I still had camo for when the combat forms came at the end).
Halo
I used Pahat Pojat's method of getting onto the inclined plane leading up the tower. Although I was initially using the walkthrough method and it was easy, if time consuming, to let Arbiter kill the first three waves of drop pods, it still seemed to be a 50:50 chance of whether or not I could pull off the plasma grenade/hammer jump onto the ledge. I found Pojat's technique to be quicker and easier to pull off.
I'm guessing some of this may be in the 2.0 versions I keep reading about. Where exactly can I see them?
Glad you asked :-) Each time a mission is given an "upgrade", you will notice a "2.0 Guide" link under the corresponding campaign mission in the original post of this thread. However, you can also check the bottom of my file share for the 2.0 videos I have so far. The Storm, The Covenant, and Halo are already there. Hopefully I will have Cortana and Tsavo Highway up shortly.
Yes, in Halo 2.0 I rush the tower and use the Hammer to get to the top. No grenades. I also demonstrate how to get the infinite laser from Johnson. In Storm 2.0, I board the Scarab and also show a much faster way to destroy the AA gun. Believe it or not, two direct hits from overcharged plasma bolts will take it down. Other things are done as well for that mission, such as lending the Arbiter a hand with the Hunters via the Spiker (which seems to be their weakness). Covenant 2.0 has a ton of differences from the original. Too much to explain. You'll have to see for yourself :-)
All new methods thus far have made each mission much easier and much quicker.
