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.
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.


couldn't you just upload the game to your fileshare ? Then pople could download it at their hearts content.

Goal- Finish Road to recon: In progress

lost platoon is another good map to try it on...but it requires team work and someone that can drive a warthog very well for the first round or soo although..you never use a vehicle when catch is on. lol but yea...i need people to try this achievement with. so hit me up if anyone needs a decent player who doesnt die too often..

Technically, I could...but who wants to sift through 90 min of gameplay? Tell you what: when i get the chance, i will go through solo easy, get to the bonus round, show my technique, and end it, therefore you know when to find the bonus round. Just give me until tonight as I will not have access to my xbox until then (due to work, and school).

Question.
When you use the rocket launcher method in the bonus rounds does the grunt birthday skull need to be on? This guide is by far the most helpful/detailed i've seen, hoping to get it this weekend! Thanks!

With the rocket launcher technique on the bonus round, no the grunt Bday skull is unnecessary. It is necessary however if you only have a pistol, as the grunt birthday skull sets off the plasma grenades that the grunts in the spawnhive are about to throw. Super explosive combo for the killionaire!

Question:
Does anyone have strategies to cope with each of the skulls on alpha site?
Like just a simple tactic to go with each skull so that oyu can plan what to do when they're on?

Because Halo 3 was their first Halo game.

Posted by: KillerCRSHalo was WAY better before Bungie started making it.

Great guide man, i used this and it took about an hour and a half. But it was really easy with this strategy, you just have to get teammates that aren't dumb and that are willing to devote the time.Thanks a lot though man, really helped.

  • 09.24.2009 10:32 AM PDT

Still say we should compile a list of how to cope with each skull...

Thanks a lot for this guide, it was really helpful and i completed it in under 3 hours, thanks again

  • 09.24.2009 11:51 AM PDT

will be trying to get this in a few hours after class. i would really like to know if lost platoon really easier than alpha site, or is that just personal preference? i feel that its both valid arguments, but i guess its just comes down to if you want to kill brutes in a chopper, or plasma pistol + auto-mag and repeat.

I've only played 2 firefight games since getting ODST so I'm looking for a group to help me get this vidmaster. I'd also like to know about how to get the one where you have to go through a campaign level on legendary without firing a shot or using any grenades.

Good point. Id say reference one of the threads i linked, for they go through each skull. Id say the main ones you want to look out for are:
Catch - strafe all day. do NOT stand still

The plasma pistol pretty much takes care of any other skull (when it comes to shielded brutes). Just as later rounds go on, put more shots into people (but strictly use P.P. on shields!)

Nice guide!! will definetley be giving this strategy a go in the near future!

  • 09.24.2009 1:12 PM PDT

Quick question for mastercmj2003...

Does everyone have to get their own vent for this to work?

Or is it just one person on one vent getting the 80,000 points?

Does everyone have to know and do this strategy for this to work?

BTW thx for the guide!!!

lol Im selfish when it comes to the bonus round, but if you have two from left stairs cover the two windows on one side, and same for right stairs, im pretty sure at least two people can pull off a highscoring combo.

As for me, im super selfish and try to hog up one whole side (two windows) as opposed to just one window.

Here's a potential skull guide. Feel free to add to it.
ROUND 1 : Tough luck - No real extra tactics needed. Just practice placing grenades and rockets.

ROUND 2: Catch - Dodge, and don't stay too close to your teammates. Better one goes down than a bunch of you.

ROUND 3: Black Eye - This one seems tricky. Hunters and Brutes generally seem to be the easiest to get close to, sidestep, and beat down in the back, but obviously not every wave has either... So it's really one of those make-or-break skulls.

SET 2: Tilt - Basically try to have one plasma weapon for Brutes, and then one human weapon for most other things. And do yourself a favor and switch up your warthog for a couple choppers if you're on Lost Platoon.

SET 3: Famine - Horde plasma pistols for Brutes. Keep picking up ones with more ammo and hope for the best.

SET 4: Mythic - Wow. Umm... Don't stop shooting. Know what enemy you're fighting, take cover, and hope for the best...

  • 09.24.2009 1:55 PM PDT

Wow! My group and I were on the 4th set almost to the end and we all died! UGH! Im so mentally drained! I need to master that bonus round trick. How many points do you need to get more lives, and how many lives do you get?

It tells you top center how many points you need to get the bonus. If one person hides, and one person gets the killionaire, you are pretty much guaranteed the bonus.
