Hey guys,

I was just wondering if the next wave arrives even though you haven't killed the actual one.

Or is it more GoW style, where you HAVE to kill all of the enemies before a new wave drops?

A new wave can come in even if the current one hasn't been fully cleansed.

I'll hold the rope..... and the camera. 'Cause I'm a multitasker like that.

As agile as a cougar on a young man.

Ok, if you say so boss!

Wildcard Machinima!

That's going to be difficult.

For Machinima it'll be great; An entire Covenant army.

Not quite. I believe there is a certain trigger number of enemies that need to be killed first.

Yeah, i think you might have to kill all five waves before the waves of the next round start, and maybe three for the other two to begin.

Yes. I believe once you reach the fifth wave, you have to take down everything...

No, you have to kill all of one wave before the next one comes.

Even if you haven't killed everyone in the first wave, the next wave will soon overlap... overlapping and overlapping ( If you still haven't killed them in time)...until you've got 5 waves of covenant and then no more come until you kill them all.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Does that mean if you kill a wave really quickly you have some down time before the next wave come, or will they just send in wave 2 the second you kill the last guy?
