Here are some things I kept in mind when playing, I promise to upload a video, I am not like other people, I tell the truth, honestly. Here are some facts to my success, and an explanation of how the melee trick worked.
Things I kept in mind while playing Cairo:
1. Leave one elite left to assassinate, easy to kill one using invisibility.
2. Assassinate 3 times in a row to get full overshiled.
3. Conserve ammunition, melee move weapons from place to place.
4. Use marines and allies as a distraction in order to kill enemies.
5. Use grenades as a distraction, get elites to face away.
6. Use turret glitch before Athens ship is destroyed to kill all enemie run back, then forward and enmies are unaware, facing one direction allowing easy assasination unnoticed sometimes.
7. Use grunts as a form of gaining shield, easiest to kill, melee on back!
8. Space elites are not hard to kill, stick them, use plasma pistols, they are not as tough
9.Elites can be lured, and killed by surprise. Sometimes, you can let them come to you.
10. Use marines to infinitely reload weapons, and not run out of ammunition
11. Weapons found on racks, or laready in the map not used to by enemies are not affected by the famine skull, only enemy weapons are.
12. Enemies can be turned around using melee.
13. If things get crazy directly after a checkpoint, try differetn techniques since you have a close checkpoint at an impossible part.
14. run back, then forward and enemies are sometimes unaware, facing one direction allowing easy assasination that is unnoticed sometimes....
I turned the Awreness, Ghost, and Sputnik on today to check the affects but I can still turn enemies around, but I see the awareness skull results. Enemies to look at me more, and run toward me. I started a new campaign with these skulls on, but I can still turn enemies around. When they turn around though, they immediately turn back to look at me, as if it does nothing. But, when the elite gets angry, he stands still and that gives me the opportunity to assassinate him. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe not, maybe so...do you have any videos to show?
Anyway, the invisibility was the most helpful in the campaign! I was able to continuosly run in, look, and run back, planning my next move each time. I could move form spot to spot without being seen, drawing closer to enemies, maybe even running past them, but did I mention I did not beat it one run? I died many, many, many, many, many times! Without being able to assasinate enemies using my cloaking ability I would have never beaten it.
Do you have any advice on uploading? I have Pinnacle Studio 12, and have recorded my progress on a DVD by means of a DVD recorder that records straight form the TV when I play. I am having some trouble on the CPU though. Transfering files from a finalized DVD to the computer is easy, but Pinnalce breaks up the chapter titles on the DVD into scenes which apparently do not show the entire gameplay recorded! I play it at normal speed and it goes to the next scene when the first is not finished and skips a lot of parts, but when played at 2X it shows the entire part and the audio repeats. What? I promise to upload it, it is a just a matter of time to figure this computer situation out.
I really appreciate the advice, seriously, I just need to figure out how to get the footage on the computer correctly. I can always beat Cairo again, I have all summer. There was a person on a Bungie update that did a montage on mongoose mowdown kills, and he used Pinnacle and a DVD recorder. Maybe I can get advice from him.
