Probably, Tyrant, you already know this and posted it somewhere, but on the level The Storm, there's a way to avoid the drones.

After you destroy the first AA wraith and you walk into that big room where all the drones are, go to the right side of the room at the far end (sorry, no pictures, my xbox live connection is down on my 360), and there is a doorway blocked by crates. You move those out of your way, jump down, and Cortana is talking about defying gods and demons..

If you turn around and open the big gate, the drones are all on the ground dead.


lol. Yep. As a matter of fact, that's in the video in my fileshare. You can actually avoid that entire middle area altogether (including the Chieftain) just by timing it right. Be sure to take a look, and thanks for the contribution :-)

I usually kill the Chieftan. If the Warthog survives the first lakebed, you can park it by the Marine corpse closest to where the Wraith is put down. If the Chieftan comes down in to view, you're out of his attack range, and free to fire on him with the LAAG while the other turret fires on him as well. Just make sure you got rid of his shields first, and he falls pretty fast.

Finally! Check out the OP as it has been updated. And I've finally finished the footage I'm going to use for The Storm walkthrough as well. Check it out :-) I think the link is on this page.

Wait is CLASO harder or easier?

Is it when 1 person dies, you go back to start? Or they all die and you go back to start?

1 person dies we all go back (in our version). So in many ways, it's harder. Can't rush as many locations as you can when there's only one target.

All the more challenging. The right amount of teamwork and cooperation will always get the job done.

I won't be on for another 4 hours XD I'm still at work.

To the CLASO team. If possible, let's meet up tonight and survey the connection situation and make sure it isn't too laggy :-) I'll be on around 5pm EST.

You need to beat at a minimum three additional levels on SLASO (totalling four) before you can qualify.

And as long as lag isn't an issue with the four of us, I'd like to keep the same four players throughout the entire run.

Hmmm, I don't think I'll be on late tonight, It'll be 10pm when you get on. And I've had like no sleep this weekend. I might pass tonight if you start. I might be there I might not, I might go for a sleep now.

Before I went to my friends house, My last attempt of Sierra 117 for the week. I reached the Final Area, killed the Snipers with a BR (That was lucky). Realised I was flashing, Looked down and got shot by a Jackal, backed up, threw a grenade down. Walked forward again, didn't get shot. Took out the Grunts and the Arbiter jumped down. He killed a Brute and the remaining Grunts. I jumped down, saw the Jackal was still alive, Melee'd him. Saw a Brute with a Brute Shot closing in on my location. Arbiter stood there, He fired a Brute Shot at me and it hit me. I hid in a corner looking for a Plasma Pistol. Saw one near me, took a quick dash for it and grabbed it. Charged it up fired and he shot me and I died. I was so annoyed!

The final area is by far the most difficult. If you have the patience, juggle the beam rifles and bring them with you. I usually bring four. You can take a number of them out from a distance. You should also have a full sniper. The snipers are the biggest threat followed by the nearest Grunts and then the Chieftain. Once they're down, the Arbiter can do the rest.

I did that trick, I took a BR, Sniper and PP. I was switching the BR with the Sniper to get them both to the end but after the Cutscene triggered for some reason the Sniper didn't appear. So I killed the Snipers with my BR.
