I was playing firefight before on alpha site following your guide, and we made to almost to the end of the first set and two of my teammates just couldnt stop dying. I really need better people to play with and im sure i'd get it.

I find this to be one of the hardest maps we have tried to do Firefight on.

The narrow hallways make it worse when trying to deal with Chieftains and Hunters.

will be giving this a try thank you

  • 09.23.2009 9:41 PM PDT

thank you as well for the guide and map suggestion, but after my experience last night i may not play firefight for a while.. last night my party of 4 got to the 3rd set, 4th wave with 5 lives left and a team total of 450,000+ points when we randomly got taken back to the lobby..

lets just say we were all speechless for about 5 minutes and realized we just played 1 hour and 30 min of firefight for nothing... that was the most disappointing feeling i have had in halo in a while...

any suggestions for gaining motivation to do firefight again? or should we finish campaign first to unlock alpha site considering we were playing on security zone


we just got kicked back to lobby also on set 4: round: 3 wave: 2.... been playin for 2 hours and 39 mins... this really sucks.. here is the link

if anyone wants to try to get endure add me please: NITRO2

I agree it can get difficult when dealing with cheiftains and hunters, but what's the fun in getting the satisfaction and reward if its not challenging?

Use the narrow hallways to YOUR advantage. You have to set up a team co-ordinated ambush in order for it to be effective.

Thank you, Captain K Mart.

I just got Endure. We got it on the first try on Lost Platoon. Here's what we did:

Ideally, at any given point, you would have three guys circulating around the complex with choppers. The fourth will be running around inside.

The trick with choppers is three-fold:

a) get in the choppers as soon as possible
b) don not destroy any choppers; whenever you have an extra, store it in the room with the laser- you'll need them
c) focus mostly on brutes in the earlier levels, eventually just kill everything, though

The last guy floats around in the complex. That was me, and I always ran around with a laser (to be used only for wraiths, and fuel rod gun chieftains later on) and an auto-mag. But whenever buggers would come, I would drop the laser temporarily for a SMG, the best weapon to take care of them IMHO. Use the auto-mag to kill jackals (perfect the two shot on shielded jackals) and grunts. Ignore brutes and hunters- that's why you have choppers.

Also, as a side note, there is only one wraith that you need to focus on with the laser, and that's the one that spawns on the "hill" (you'll know what I mean if you know the map). This is because the choppers can easily destroy the others simply by staying a ways away, and then moving forward and backward to dodge each shot. However, like everything else, later (specifically with the Tilt skull), the wraiths won't die from choppers and you'll need to use the laser on all of them. They're almost always a one hit kill until later, then it is imperative to aim for the cockpit to get the one shot kill.

If choppers aren't available (and trust me, towards the end they will be rare), anyone without one should stay inside. But if you're feeling confident, you can use the warthog. The key is to stay moving. I would only suggest this if you have plenty of lives, though.

Make sure you communicate- say how many lasers you've got left, ask if there's extra choppers, say if there's an abandoned one outside somewhere, ask if you need to laser something. Just say EVERYTHING.

@Mityman50 I'll have to try it out on Lost Platoon. Sounds like an easy "Endure" acheivement. I direct you to SeasonedVeterans thread for strats on other levels. But thanks for the tips on Lost platoon!

lol thats true it was looking kinda bad lol

Just remember... I keep it real...

Just posting now so I can find this later.

  • 09.23.2009 11:15 PM PDT

I did this yesterday!
I hadn't read the guide, but we did a pretty much identical thing, and you're totally right about the plasma pistol. It took us exactly 2 hours to complete, and we finished with 34 lives left!

Another tactic I would point out is that it's really important to have call outs for the maps, even if it's as simple as "left stairs", "right stairs" and "pit". It keeps everyone organsied and helps a lot.

ghey

nah mate lost platoon is best because of choppers and laser

  • 09.24.2009 12:11 AM PDT

Me and my friends were so close we got up to the the last wave of the last round of the last set and cracked under pressure

  • 09.24.2009 12:16 AM PDT

500 Mongoose splatters and counting...

Thank you so much for this guide! It actually works.

Once I finally got a good group together, we started this level up, and for the most part we dominated. We ended up getting to Set 2, Round 2, Wave 3 with 10-11 lives and were well on our way to Recon. However, of course, connection lags out.

SO FRUSTRATING! I dunno, I guess it could be worse, we could've have been on the last wave, but still. The most frustrating part was the person who lagged out or quit, was the one person in the game who didn't have a mic the whole time so we were already mad at him. Then he had to go and do that, seriously.

Anyways, I'm not getting my hopes down. I know that I can finish it once I get plenty of time, good teammates, and good enough connection. Tomorrow or Friday I will be getting that achievement.

Wicked phenomenon yes? But it's not any more evil than, say... fire. It all depends on your point of view. Try to get a better understanding of things before you make your judgement.

Thanks a ton for this guide im going to try this tomorrow and ill post back then =).

Thanks so much for taking the time to post this, my team and i have been having tons of trouble with this on crater and rally..the bonus round idea is amazing and will help alot! if you haven't already you should get recon for this lol =)

  • 09.24.2009 1:01 AM PDT

You should try Lost Platoon it's easy. When I did it my party had like 15 lives at the end of set 4. 2 in the warthog and 2 in the base one using laser for the wraiths en and the other human sniper in first set. And later on when tilt is maybe a beam rifle and some plasma weapons
