Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

You still lasted 9 hours though so you must have had some way of dealing with them.

I did, rush and hope for the best. There really wasn't anything I could do but to come close and assassinate them. I really see no way of dealing with them on levels like Security zone, how will you go near them?

Plus, they didn't show up very often.

On Security Zone you usually get at least 1 every round and because you're usually at the bottom of the stairs they have height, defensive prowess and tracking rounds all at their advantage. You can't get close because they don't just come alone either and retreating gets you killed because they seem to have a godlike ability to turn to follow you and even shoot you out of the air.
Im really at a loss tbh. Sure they're not a problem on co-op but on Solo they really make dent in the life pool.

Hmm, they never come alone? They always come alone in Crater. If one approaches me and I have a pack of Jumppack Brutes, they will all jump away and let me fight the Chieftain alone. When he's dead, they'll jump back and jump away when a new one comes.

War Chieftains on Security zZone tend to either be accompanied by a Hammer Chieftain or a squad of Jackals. Either that or there's Grunts spamming nades down the stairs too.
They do occasionally come alone, but there's still the distance thing, too far away to melee, but too close to take out safely.

It takes a real person to restrain themselves.

How can you guys stand Chasm Ten and Security Zone? I hate those maps with a passion.

I don't like the fact I have to play 5 hours of Firefight so it's getting challenging if I'm facing Drones and Hunters in the same wave.

Same, they could've made it more fast-paced.

I played for 9 hours, only in the end did it get a little challenging:
- War Chieftains.
- Drone Leaders that survived stickies.
- Sniper at the fall building, out of range.

The Hunter and Drone mix is nothing really, the Drones will only show up if you go outside to kill the Hunter. So what do you do? The the fight inside! Everytime a Hunter showed up, I lured it inside my spawning room and killed it inside. Drones couldn't do anything.

Check out my Heatmap.

Wow gazas, great work. Beat my co-op record, although we could have gone on longer. Guys, any idea how you get that 'Mythic' flaming skull for firefight highscore? I wouldnt mind getting it next weekend, but not if it is ten million. Maybe some of you guys would be up for it? I'm sure us conquerors could put it away in less than 5 hours if it be 5.

Really?

I played a game on Security Zone where I got over 800,000. War Chieftains never were really a threat. Once you know the wave has started grab a Plasma Pistol and situate yourself inside the spawn room so that you're close to the inner wall of the building right at the bend in the large hall. There's a small little spot around there you can pull back behind. Just keep an eye on the entrance. Typically, a Chieftain will come along; If it's a Chieftain with a Gravity Hammer, easy assassination. If it's a Chieftain with a Fuel Rod Gun, make sure they notice you then pull back behind that corner and crouch. Keep an eye out for the Chieftain's shadow, as he'll eventually move in after you. Once he's getting close, overcharge your Plasma Pistol and pop out and stun him with it. This gives you enough time to close in and get in to melee range. If you have a Gravity Hammer to go with the Plasma Pistol, you can just whack the Chieftain with a regular melee every time he tries to take a swing at you to cause him to recoil backward. I usually switch the Plasma Pistol for a Gravity Hammer if I get the chance. When you pull out around the corner with only a Hammer, though, you need to let the Chieftain get even closer than usual. The recoil only happens when the Chieftain's shields are down.

If I didn't have to go eat, we could have continued that game on Windward, too.

Hm... Fair enough, I guess I wasn't hugging the wall enough.
As for the Windward game, yeah it was just starting to kick off. We were getting lives back and scoring some points. I'd have been up for continuing too.

Good thinking Vince. But that's on that map. I can't do it safely on Crater.

Molen, I think it's either 2M or 2.5M. I went for 3M and I got it but Pahat got around 2.6 and got the exact same so either it's 2M or 2.5. Go for 2.5 to be safe.

I think MoleN means the final trophy, the Mythic skull that's completely on fire.
As for that, I think it's either 5, 7 or 10 million.

Oh I have the 2.5 million one. I got it last night. I mean the one that guy who got 10 M has. I'm not sure what the score would be (5M, 7M [Bungie] or 10M). I want it though.

I want that badass trophy too. Maybe we should set aside a weekend sometime where we play for as long as we can without dropping asleep?

I think with 4 conquerors we could likely get it in 5-6 hours (7M). I know how to dominate alpha site and can easily go to 7 M with 3 conquerors. If we use bonus rounds well, 6 hours could be enough. Maybe next friday?

Yep. Can you guys feel our pain when Bungie.net refused to upload the game? *Audience laugh*

Anyway, yeah that flaming Skull is my number 1 goal now, screw Mythic Campaign, that's number 2 now.

If you want to go for it, I'm free on Week 44 (Starting from 26th to 31th). Now I'm most likely free any day before but that's when I'm free the whole week. I wouldn't want to miss something like that.
