Did someone call for me?

Quick question, for the Bonus Round, after you kill the 3 grunts, do you just start unloading in the window?
Start unloading at the window as soon as you hear "Good Luck" (or whatever encouraging start message the announcer gives). At this point your goal is to NOT LET THE GRUNTS REACH THE GROUND FLOOR! If you trap them in their spawn hive, Grunt Birthday skull will take care of the rest. Id advise standing on the right stair side, on a ledge (near the elevator shaft, but be careful not to fall to your death). This gives you an increased viewpoint. As soon (can't stress that enough) as you see a grunt head, UNLOAD! the closer the grunt explosion is, the better. Before you know it, your screen should read somewhere in the 23,000's and "Killionaire" will appear.

Can someone or maybe original poster get a video of that grunt bday combo kill? i would love to see that, and frankly im really interested in how that goes. No one i know has this yet so i probably wont be able to do it myself for awhile, but that part alone sounds freakin awesome. (btw awesome job dude getting the achievement, and you made a really sweet guide to)
I will post a video of it and link it here when I get home from classes and work tonight. I got out of class early, so i figured I'd stop by and answer a few questions while I'm at it.

Check them out.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

6 lives left on the last round, last wave, last set, to get the achievements.

Everyone dies after an amount of 4 Brute Hammers, 3 Brute Fuel Rod and 2 hunters.

Ooh and also really great: No ammo.

I can't believe i just wasted 2 hours of my life to end up with no achievement.

Oh and the funny thing was, i died 7 times.
My 3 teammates died: 23, 22 and 18 times, and believe me, i wasn't that much of a camper.

I will try this friday again..... Xd

Yea, the hardest part is scrambling when you run out of ammo. I found myself a few times holding a Plasma Pistol / Brute Plasma Rifle combo (very ineffective in killing), or a Needler / Spiker combo. Try to have a shootable weapon in your hand AT ALL TIMES!

The nice part of the setup is to trap the enemy in the center, that way when the enemy count slows down, you can quickly scramble for weapons.

Im sorry to hear your teammates died soo many times. Did they get impatient and move out? The KEY TO THIS is to continue HOLDING your position. You want to have the advantage over your enemy at ALL TIMES. Hope you get the acheivement soon.

Set is the Number on the Top Left
Round is the Dot on the Top Left (middle)
Wave is the bar on the Top Left (under the dots)

The acheivement is to clear 4 sets. This means 15 rounds, most importantly, 60 ROUNDS!

This is why it takes sooo long.

  • 09.23.2009 12:42 PM PDT

Nice Guide, its also easy to do it on Windward, just get two people watching top lobby, and two bottom lobby.

See I dont play with randoms--lol, so I am just patiently waiting 'til some friends buy ODST-- Too bad I can't get the achievment solo

  • 09.23.2009 1:12 PM PDT

I'd just like to say thanks for an awsome guide.
I havn't been able to play a firefight with more than one other player yet, but as soon as we are a full party this will definetly ble tried out (and, if luck is with us, done as according to the guide).

Yeah I know what you're checking for.

Sadly I got my 50 after they stopped doing the stats for Halo 3 here.

Thanks buddy, I read your guide and now I can't wait to try it out with some of my friends.

Teh Sickness...

Awesome, all that needs to be said, I've been trying Lost Platoon, with a few people and Crater. Crater makes me wanna cry. Def going to try this when I get home from work. Once again, awesome dude.

  • 09.23.2009 1:22 PM PDT

I will give it a shot tonight again, we almost got it last night but the update screwed us at the 4th set.

I'm just a guy like you that plays halo.

I don't fully understand the Bonus Round and Grunt Birthday Party... Is that you kill 3 and the explosion from the skull kills the rest O_o?

  • 09.23.2009 1:52 PM PDT

Me and my team did it on Last Platoon, my advice would be to build up lives in the first two rounds of the set so you have alot for the Black eye (Skull) waves.

  • 09.23.2009 1:54 PM PDT

Thanks, the guide is great! Following it's advice, our (somewhat inexperienced) group got to the set 4 round 3 wave 5.. while we did not get the achievement, without some (very) annoying betrayals we'd have done it. I feel confident with this strategy that I can complete it another time.. thanks!
