Magicians never reveal their secrets.

Well, if you think about it, I never have to face them. Arby will take care of everything, and the only level where there is no outside help (Crow's Nest) I can just use Camo to get behind the two motorpool snipers and whack 'em.


lol! Particularly at the last segment of Sierra 117, you won't be able to count on Arby to kill those snipers at the far end for you, and unless you kill them yourself, the second you step out into the open you'll get pegged. Trust me, you can ask anyone who has completed Sierra 117 on SLASO. The same goes for the two at the river :-)

Loose talk is noose talk.

Dash between buildings?

Or maybe give Arby a sniper? Or a skull?

And you wouldn't be able to headshot the Grunts either XD

Agreed x100+
Those Snipers made it hard for me to sleep at night. I used to think a Hunter or a Jackal would come in my room and kill me.

Sadly, Arbiter can't use the sniper weapons. Maybe Bungie thought that it would be too overpowered?

I know he can use skulls. At least I think he can.

So, I'm back to the first Chopper encounter, Drones are dead and everything. Problem is, all the Choppers were destroyed. (The Marines killed the one I was preparing to board)

I can't just rush on through without the Chopper...

And since I have the video now...here it is.

Killing a Hunter with melees SLASO-style. Things you should know before watching: countless deaths came before this. I did a save and quit to give myself a footholder for fighting against the Hunters, so that I could test the effectiveness of Plasma Rifles and the Brute Shot Melee. The Plasma Rifles have significant stun on the Hunters if you hit their exposed flesh, especially on the back. The Hunter may have taken some damage without melees. I had to provoke him, you'll notice. I think that they will rush like that at about 80% health.

And to give you an idea as to what I think the success rate for beating a Hunter on SLASO is, I'd say about 1/20. That's a 5% chance. DO - NOT - ATTEMPT.

Try it with a 'hog. Much harder, but achievable.

You mean to bash people with? You'd be better off letting him use the energy sword. Either way, that still wouldn't take care of the snipers for you. Load up Sierra 117 and give it a whirl. "You may not like what you find." XD

Reload. You're better off.

I remember. I played S 117 with 7 skulls on not long ago. Not fun at all.

I managed to skip the middle fight on foot before. I missed the jump over the Bridge on the Chopper and made it on foot to the end and jacked a Chopper. I don't recommend it though. Just try to make your way through slowly.

Now add Blind and Iron to that equation in addition to walking backwards, using only the plasma pistol, and trying to rush it.

It's not impossible. Especially for something like me.

Double check my last post for a video edit. Also, I don't think I can make it (again). Yesterday I dropped my car off. Today I go get it back.

Tomorrow I know I have nothing to keep me away, though.

I'm willing to wait the extra hour for you to show up rather than not play at all today. The rest of us can warm up on the last area until you arrive. Sound fair?

This profie isn't linked to my gamertag, though you can just click on the link in my signature.

I'm not sure if Sierra 117 is uploaded yet because I just finished it but floodgate is there if you don't believe me...

And Sierra 117 will be uploaded soon I hope, I had to wait some time to see Floodgate show up.

It looks like he did the save/quit glitch because floodgate is done in under 10 min and sierra 117 in under 5. Maybe I'm wrong and looking at the wrong games but...
