Awesome guide - because of this I got it last night.

Only needed to know the set-up of Alpha Site, though, the rest was rather easy.

Thanks for the heads up :) +1

Were it so easy.

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 like this map for this achievement, I didn't get it yet because a jerk on my team quit right before set 5 so we wasted our time, sure enough it was on that map! But I will keep trying I just hope I don't get crappy teammates and quitters anymore.

Yeah I know. I made it to Set 3 and figure this out.

I had been stock piling lasers and constantly picking them up so they wouldn'd dissapear so I could kill the wraiths easier. around round 2 of Set 3 the kid we had been playing with says, "wow guys, your just bad, We're never gonna make it, bye!" and leaves... Right so for the carnage report

me: around 800 kills, tool of destruction laser. 2 deaths

1st friend 1020 kills with hog turret 1 death

2nd friend 400 kills with hog spatters 0 deaths.

idiot kid: 150 kills with smg 12 deaths.

I tried it on Lost Platoon, difficulty easy, with 2 people to get the, "OVER 200 THOU" achievement for that map. It takes time, but its EXTREMELY easy to do. Utiilize 'hogs when availible, and make sure someone ALWAYS has the laser. It's essential to take out wraiths when the tilt skull is active. On black eye waves, drive the hog with at least a gunner, and shoot em up until your stamina is completely gone, then isolate a few grunts, get out, and beat them down. Then get back in, rinse, and repeat. On bonus rounds, make sure everyone has a chopper, you can EASILY achieve 20k or more, by waiting for the grunts to throw the first round of grenades, then going to town splattering and shooting. All in all, it took me and a good friend about an hour and 20 minutes. But if you want the achievement, with little hassle, this is the way to go.

We too, have had horrible lag. And we also attempted 3 times on Lost Platoon. On our attempt, the most disappointing, during SET 4, Round 1, Wave 4, one of us lagged out and ended the whole game. We had over 15 lives to spare at that point and so close to the end and connection issues stopped us. We tried 2 more times on Lost Platoon but just couldn't do as well. We're definetly trying Alpha Site today!

  • 09.24.2009 7:26 AM PDT

In all honesty, I found that the map "Lost Platoon" was the best place to get the achievement. You had access to a Warthog, which was good for taking out Wraiths fairly quickly, and were supplied with Choppers and (If memory serves) Ghosts. The spawn room is also very good, if you go to the corner across the room from the one in front of the door, because if you sit there, you can go to the bathroom. I tested it, and I sat there for about an hour, and did not once have to move from the corner. I would also suggest utilizing "Lag" to your advantage. In ODST, if you're lagging, it gives you more chance to survey your surroundings, because you can still look around. If you don't see a spike grenade coming at you until lag hits, take your opportunity and turn your vehicle out of the way, so that you can shoot off when you can move again.

I would also highly recommend saving the Spartan Laser for wave 5 of each round. By doing so, it lets you take care of the Chieftans/Heros. Hammers are always bad, but Fuel Rods need to be taken care of immediately. One well placed shot should do it.

Of all importance though...




HAVE A GOOD DRIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did someone call for me?

I'm glad everyone likes the guide. I also understand that Lost Platoon is another easy map for the acheivement (although it requires better teamwork).

I updated the OP to include a map with simple callouts and weapon locations, as well as explaining why you have to setup on Left and Right side (in front of stairs).

I also updated the Killionaire, I had one bonus round where I got a Killpocapyse and a killionaire, totalling our bonus round points to 88,000!

  • 09.24.2009 7:46 AM PDT

If its possible can you please post a video of how you get a killionaire on the bonus round. Me and some friends are trying to do it but just cant get it.

Very nicely done! As for Lost Platoon, it's more geared for the more "Vehicle Oriented" people of ODST.

Add me and SquiddyCake 11 and you have a team

I can't take video in ODST Firefight...I tried. What I CAN do (which won't be until later tonight) is post PICTURES and show you where to shoot, when to shoot, etc.

If you see the windows in which they come out of, try to kill the grunts BEFORE they drop. The EASIEST way I have discovered is to have a ROCKET LAUNCHER. As *SOON* as the timer begins, shoot a rocket up into the nest (pick a window. left/right?) If done correctly, you should get at least a killtacular, and at most, a killionaire + extra points.

I thought it was much more efficient Lost Platoon...

But of course, everyone has their preferences.
I was hoping that there wouldn't be any guide to this stuff.

There will soon be too much recon...

Yea, its all about preference. I chose to write a guide on this level. SeasonedVeteran wrote up a guide on LostPlatoon and other Firefight maps.

As for the RECON: I want to see more recon, but i don't want people just to play firefight once for the acheivement! Firefight is so fun!

In 1845, Master Chief & Chuck Norris met at a pub in Ireland. They made a bet as to who could eat more potatoes in one sitting. By 1852, they had both eaten so many potatoes that there weren't enough to feed the Irish people, subsequently causing the deaths of 25% of the entire population of Ireland. History attributes it to a pathogenic water mould, Phytophthora infestans, but the Irish know the truth, and to this day, still refer to it as "The MC & Chuck Norris Irish Massacre."

OP -- Excellent guide! Thanks!
