Still looking for some people to do the vidmaster achievements with... practically the only achievements I have left GT: kingsnipes186

The Achivement is fairly easy, you just need 4 players, a perfect strategy, and knowledge that your friends playin with ya won't -blam!- EVERYTHING UP or LAG OUT! GT: xX Deus Vult Xx

Who's your buddy?

If you don't have the rockets, try fuel rods in bonus rounds. It's also possible with just the pistol.

A few friends of mine and me used this guide and it really helped us, but we died at set 4 round 4 wave 3! We all were so angry because of missing the achievment so close. Anyway, we are gonna try it again next weekend.
But I got a (maybe stupid) question: At the bonus round, we had like 90000 points, then we all died and we only got 4 bonus lives. So my question: Does one of the players have to survive to get more lives?

Thx for this awesome guide, CoasterSurfer

  • 10.19.2009 10:32 AM PDT

No matter what you only get the amount of lives that you have players.

Nice guide, and nice legendary score. I wonder what score you need to get that last picure on your profile overview though.

Thats why lives are so crucial. If you die, it affects the team overall, not just you individually.

Thanks for the legendary props. We are attempting a 5mil run here in the near future.

I just need 3 or maybe 2 more people so can somebody help me? i just need one more til recon. My gamertag is not psyco soldier, its actually Satans zipper (yeah its a retarded gamertag)

Vrrin Vrrin, yeah here I come.

i took his advice, and it really helps to have two people on either staircase.

also, use the auto-mag to kill the grunts as they come down the stairs right after they come down off the phantom. you can do this from the safety of the stairs on the interior part of the building, im talking about the stairs on the right. it helps to have the grunts out of the way so you can focus the brunt of you attack against more important foes like the brutes, jackals, drones or even hunters.

Okay, thanks for the advise. Actually we -blam- up 2 bonus rounds and we died too often in the first set. I hope to make it this weekend, who knows.

I really would like to play with you once mastercmj2003, because you got so many points, but I guess you wouldn't like to play with a noob like me...

Thnks for the tips, CoasterSurfer

If you do the 'killionaire' trick correctly, you won't have to worry about losing in the bonus round.
- Stand as far back from the 'grunt spawn room' as possible (preferably in the room in which you spawn, but in view of the grunt room). As soon as the announcer says "Iron ON!", shoot 2 rockets into the windows. If done correctly (shouldn't get too much more difficult than that!), you should get enough points to pass the bonus round.

Eventually, you can get good enough at this to get 98k points like me or (in the same bonus round) get 136k points like my friend brent4life (how dare you 1-up me!!! LOL)

If you were curious, between brent and I, we managed to get 357k points by the end of that bonus round! Yes, Three hundred fifty-seven THOUSAND points in ONE MINUTE!

How long did it take u?
To get the vidmaster itself: an hour and a half or so. To lose completely (at Set 6), about 2hours 25min.

I think making the wall of china! J/K

First of all i just want to start off by saying that i thought deja vu was EASY! We had 3 people and an extra afk controller plugged in and still did it in less time than annual when we had 4 people playing. (It still took 1 hr 50 min to do only because we were stuck on one section of the highway for the longest time)

Anyway, this guide looks great, and I cant wait to try it when i go home for christmas and have a good connection (the internet in our dorm room at college is pretty bad). I have 3 questions. 1. Would the automag + GBP skull combo work for the bonus round to get the extra lives in case we want/need to use all of our rockets on the cheiftains? and 2. How many shots from the shotgun does it take to kill hunters from behind? 3. Is this an effective method? (Because that would mean saving more hammer/fuel rod/rocket ammo for more cheiftains instead of wasting it on the hunters)

  • 10.20.2009 10:01 PM PDT

LOOK OUT!!!.......ooh he's dead

Posted by: PNut d kidnaper
Wish I would of waited for someone to figure this out. Wasted 2 hours on Lost Platoon dealing with horrible lag. 2 waves away from completion and we get lagged out.

Do not try it on this map! We were all in choppers and our connections couldn't handle everything going on.

I knew it was a bad idea to begin with.


i havent got it yet but all of my friends are like "alfa site sucks!!" so we tryed it on lost platoon and we keep dieing at the end cause of lag.

Wow, 98k points with the auto-magnum :O I got so many points with the rocket launcher if I remember right, because I still don't get the trick with the auto-magnum or I'm too bad at aiming...

I have tried the vidmaster 4 times. The first time we got to Set 3 Round 3 Wave 4, when suddenly... my friend lagged out causing mass confusion and EXTREME anger. We tried the map Windward.
Sounds crazy, but if you stay in the main respawn point, you should survive for a while. There are couches everywhere, which will make great barriers. There is an office room where you can move the desk, blocking the door. Just watch chieftains struggle to get in as your team shoots him in the back.

Lost Platoon: If you are a good driver, the chopper is a key weapon. There is a hill near one of the respawn points, which is only accessible by by driving a vehicle up, is a GREAT sniper spot. (Wraiths can still hit you!!!)

Alpha site: alpha site seems to be the best. I do not like small maps. Yet this map seems to work, especially for the bonus round, where my friend got 50,000 points within 2 seconds of the bonus round. This was on easy though.

Any map with a wraith could be a good map for people familiar with glitches. My friend was able to highjack a wraith (be careful, once you get out of the wraith, it blows up).

I personally believe the sniper in ODST is really weak. Don't bother with maps that are solely based on a sniper rifle. Using a plasma pistol is DEFINITELY a good idea. Plasma weapons take out Brute shields in seconds. Plasma Pistol, Plasma Rifle, Fuel-Rod, and Plasma Cannon (which can be picked up if you throw a grenade at a Phantom, killing the Grunt gunner).

Me and my friends got to the last wave needed, and we were all killed by a beserk hammer chieftan. The bonus rounds help, YOU NEED THE EXTRA LIVES!

  • 10.23.2009 6:41 PM PDT

I know how to do endure....kill all the covenant. But seriously I will help people if they need it. I did it first try in two hours so...

  • 10.23.2009 6:44 PM PDT

no

  • 10.24.2009 10:22 AM PDT

set 4 round 3 end of wave 3
i did this with my friend and his 2 friends i only need this one but we were on lost platoon and everyone was dead except 1 guy who was in a chopper taking out the last 3 guys in the wave so us (being the unlucky guys we are) witness a grunt lag from nowhere a foot away from him and stick him
now to make things worse (cus we were and amazing team) lag when me, my friend, and 1 of his friends that was the best one get horrible lag when we're in a game or party :(
someone that doesnt suck would appreciate help with endure (i'll help with any other vidmasters that they need, except for annual horrible experiance the first time i tried it now i'll never do halo 3 regular campaign again)(way too long and too many perentheses in this reply
