I don't see how the blind skull is silver. I tried all the skulls on easy sierra 117 I die right before the ship lands. I wish you had the scoring on just to see what your score is with all those multipliers. If you put one of the videos on your share and PMed me about it I'd download it.

Yeah thanks. I like your helmet too, but I guess I will have to pursue SLASO on my own then. Before I go though, do you have any tips for me?

There is a group out there called LASO which gathers for people to get together and play it CLASO style (co-op).

I have tons of tips :-) I listed a few in regards to Crow's Nest a couple of pages ago. The main one is to start with Floodgate and get used to the setting. Then move on to the Halo level. It's only slightly more challenging, but make sure you know that warthog run like the back of your hand first. There's nothing more frustrating them making it all the way through only to accidentally drive off a cliff.

I saw on one of the walkthroughs that if you get a grave lift from earlier in the level you can jump the worthog over the gape in the road. That should make it much easier. I've never tried it myself.

It isn't easy at first, but what you have to remember is that the reticle isn't in the dead center of the screen. It's lower. Practice with it. Some people say to use tape. I have a plasma screen, so I won't be sticking any tape to it :-P Just practice and you'll find it won't be so bad.

The main handicap about Blind is not being able to monitor your health, particularly with Black Eye on as well. Then there's also making sure you're shooting the right weapon. I've now learned to listen for what each weapon and grenade sounds like when it is selected.

I believe there is also one near the sniper rifle on the overpass.

How can somebody pass Cortana and the last level, on legendary with all skulls on, not dying once, because that restarts the level, nd in single player, not even co-op?? I really think somebody's cheating here, that my friend is next to impossible!!!

Just because you can't do it doesn't mean no one can't. Great job completing Crow's Nest. Tsavo Highway is going to be pretty easy for you.

It really isn't, dude. Cortana is actually easier than Crow's Nest and Sierra 117. Cortana is one of the few levels you can actually just run through (speedrun if you will) without having to kill a specific enemy or group of enemies to move on to the next area. The key? Know your way around. I mean REALLY know your way around. Know when to use equipment and know when to bash for health. As I mentioned earlier, Black Eye can actually work to your advantage in Flood levels since they are so suseptiple (sp?) to melee. Just remember to go for the Brute Forms and the Stalker Forms. Also, use both your active camo and bubble shields with extreme care. It took me several tries (over six hours worth) before I was able to do it, but even I haven't been the fastest.

Thanks again Pahis! Your video was fun to watch :-) The jumpjet Brute battle turned out much easier than expected. The Marines took out most of them by lobbing grenades and knocking off their armor, allowing me to follow up with a BR headshot (I didn't have a plasma pistol). And then Arbiter went totally renegade with his sword XD

Of ourse, once the jumpjet battle was out of the way, I had to execute my Marines for treason after lobbing a few grenades off the wall and two feet to my left.

Forunately, that type of thing only got me killed once.

You obviously haven't been keeping up with this thread...

The shortest SLASO run on Cortana is 10 minutes from start to finish. We had another player in this thread run through it in 9 without any skulls.

You'll also note that starting the level from any place other than the beginning labels it A or B.
