Ahh.

That looks easy, probably harder than it looks.

Lmao, it is. I tried (and failed) many times. I odnt get how it works, I can barely ever even get speed off of it, let alone that fast.
@ Hubb, awsome work. Welcome to the club

I tried doing the box thing on mythic and it actually worked pretty well. Except for the whole landing thing. You are definitely moving way to fast because when you land, you immediately die. I will work on it and try out that decelerating method.

I've been meaning to try that. How far have you made it?

I tried that before, unfortunately there's a lot of weapon despawns and the battle after crossing the broken road is quite harsh... Damn Wraith.

I've also watched Pahat's video without Plasma Pistols (props to you for pulling this one off too) or vehicles and I think he was just showing off. :-P

Right now I'm at the battle right after the start of "The Broken Path". I started making my way over to the position the Marines are trapped in, killed some Grunts and I hear the sound of Jump Pack Brutes head toward me. I overcharge shot one of them, because they landed on top of this...I'm not sure what it was, but they were all bunched up. He starts tracking me in to this small building I go in to. Once he tries to look inside I smack him in the face, back up to avoid his melee and finish him with a BR burst. His two buddies stayed on the spot they landed, so I just jumped and stuck them both one at a time. I'm planning to back off on the area again so I can use the Sniper Rifle to clear up the Grunts without feeling like I'm going to get swarmed by those Jump Pack Brutes anymore. I'm just surprised those Marines are still alive.

Have you tried skipping the Jump Pack Brutes? If I remember right, there should be an area to the right of the sniper tower past the Jump Pack Brute area (where the Choppers are) that has good cover. During a couple of my Tsavo attempts, my Warthog was destroyed, so after clearing the area you're talking about of the initial wave of Brutes, I ran past it to the next area before killing enough Covenant to activate the Phantom and used the aforementioned cover to commandeer a Chopper. If the place I'm remembering really exists, I'm sure you can use it to destroy them too. Also, the Wraith that comes with the Jump Pack Brutes is usually circling in the next area with the Choppers until the Phantom comes. However, in one of my Warthogless runs, I didn't see the Wraith anywhere back there. It either despawned for some reason or just never spawned in the first place. Unfortunately, those attempts were so long ago, I don't remember any other specifics.

If you save all of the Fuel Rods and give them to the Marines, they may destroy all of the Phantoms coming in before the Wraith. That gives you good protection from the Wraith. Hide behind the Phantoms. =)

Sometimes wraiths just dont spawn. One time on Tsavo, at the end with 3 wraiths, only two ever showed. I only dealed with one at a time. Very easy stuff. =)

I meant the Wraith. The first one you ever encounter. Not the ones on the hill.

  • 09.12.2009 12:40 PM PDT

I cannot tell you how many times the Marines in that Warthog have run in to me. They haven't killed me, but they always seem to wait until I get my shields back to do it.

Really, up until the Broken Path, it's not so hard to fight out Tsavo Highway on foot.

Yeah, it's what comes afterwards...

So I just hopped on my 360 and Dark has sent me a film to watch. So, I watch it and holy crap it was awesome.

You can bypass the enemy spawns in the area with the giant A.A. gun, walk right up by it, and destroy the core. You have to backtrack to the loading point to make the level finish, but overall, an amazing find!

I spent the last three render minutes I have left for the month to render the film. This gives us a means of bypassing enemy spawns on: Sierra 117, The Storm, and The Ark.

Kudos Dark. Great find.

Edit: Storm Trick

Check it out.

So, Gazas. I know that on Legendary it takes about 4 fuel rods to the engines to kill a Phantom so assuming Mythic doubles that to eight fuel rods from a player how many does it take from an NPC?

As for Dark's video I'm gonna have to see this. That last half of The Storm can be a little frustrating if you lode track of the Chieftain's fuel rods.

Holy -blam!-, that's -blam!- awesome. Nice work Dark, and thanks Vince for rendering it.

MATCLAN, if you have about 3 Marines with Fuel Rod guns, it will take just about a couple of hits from each to bring one down. They're pretty accurate since the Phantom will be still for a while and the Brutes are in it so...

That doesn't mean that the Brutes won't survive though.

A second barrage would finish them. Or I could intervene.
I think I might give this a go but there's only 9 days until ODST and I can't really focus on much else atm. :-P
I suppose I could always revisit it after ODST, right?

EDIT: Holy crap. Dark's video is probably the best campaign trick I've seen in ages. The fact that Bungie seemed to have rendered the external area as playable is also amazing. I'm definitely using this next time I play The Storm. Also I'm predicting new speed records from HSH.

You can jump over there on Floodgate too right? But you would like float in mid-air.

well I've had the Arbiter get trapped out there before on Floodgate and he was definitely standing on the ground. Dunno if it would let Chief out though.
