Hey, i really feel like the people i have to do this achievement won't do a very good job, and we'll waste a lot of time. Could you please help me get this achievement? I know that you will probably say no, but i just thought i would ask because i really wanted someone that knew what they were doing. Please get back to me. Thanks and nice guide too.

This strategy works. Just got my recon last night! This Vidmaster is the hardest by far. Don't get mad at each other, and play with people you know well! I did it with my GameBattles team and we got to Set 5 round 3 on our second try.

It's not that i don't want to help everyone personally, its just i can't help everyone due to time constraints placed on me between work and school.

If you were wondering, i work at the computer lab on campus so i have plenty of time to browse the forums and answer PM's. =O

Member of the Suits You clan. Halo 3 FTW. I'm a nice guy, unless I'm losing. Then, it's showtime!

Hey man neat guide. Thread saved, and will attempt to get recon tomorrow!

I got to Set 6, Round 2, Wave 5 on Heroic GETTING ME RECON! ;)

mastercmj2003 quote this and add it.

On Alpha Site, the elevator platforms are NOT A SOLID OBJECT.
(the ones on a fixed position under the bonus round grunt windows) If you stand on either side and toss your grenade up and over passing through the elevator bouncing it off the wall, or just throwing it across. It will help getting enemies cleared not seen across from the other two players helping you. I noticed this on accident and im sure many others did also. Just good to know. ;)

I can't get this achievment to work!!! :(

I tried the pistol trick, and can't get the combo to start.

I also tried the rocket thing, and all I got was a killtrocity.

How do you get the 80,000 points? ( and isnt this 40 lives? )

How, exactly down to the detail, do you do the pistol combo?



And one more thing...do you have a video?

I posted a video of me going through normal solo, and at the 39min mark, i pull off the killionaire. I'd advise you check it out. Its been updated in the OP, so go to the Killionaire section of the OP to download.

Great guide.. its appreciated.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow night about 10 pm MST. I'm looking for 2-3 good people to give 'er a go.. If you're interested PM me on here and we'll coordinate. peace.

  • 09.24.2009 5:48 PM PDT

The guide was helpful. Thanks. Me and three others managed to get Endure, but just barely. We ended up with no lives on the last one, but only one chieftain spawned with the rest being brutes and pathetically easy jackals. I'm so relieved now after getting it.

  • 09.24.2009 6:55 PM PDT

think its funny how every1 thinks they got so far. i got to the last set and wave and round and died. it was the most devastating thing ever. also when u do the bonus glitch how many lives do u get

Wait... where is this video where you show yourself doing this strategy that I can't seem to do.... I'm starting to doubt this...

  • 09.24.2009 7:12 PM PDT

this guide works, another way for the bonus round i use is getting the fuel rod and shooting it at the windows.

The gametime for the video is wayyy too long to fit in my normal fileshare. However, i put a video of me playing solo normal, just to show at the end how to get the killionaire (due to the fact that you cant take video clips). Sorry.

I love you :)

lol i love you too. I didn't want to hog up the 'recon' spotlight, because I know that everyone wants it bad. I figured "why not make it a bit easier for everyone, and give some of the lesser skilled players a chance."

  • 09.24.2009 11:16 PM PDT

Dropping into hell.....feet first

This strategy worked for me......we had like 15 lives ending the 4th set, just make sure u communicate a lot, and HOLD YOUR POSITIONS. As soon as you start running in the middle during a wave, ur done for.

ps. If I am on, I am always down to firefight, Ill help anybody with this that would want some help, just friend request me saying its for this, no shame in increasing my high score :)

  • 09.24.2009 11:33 PM PDT

Thank you for the advice, this made getting recon armor much easier. And plasma weapons are DEFINITELY the way to go especially in the later rounds.

not really sure how to do the bonus round glitch, i have tried it both ways and cant seem to get the trick down.

Do you shoot on a certain side?

do you shoot rockets in both windows or just one?

You, Sir are a genius. Thank you so much mastercmj2003.

Stick To Your Guns

tried this yesterday on heroic, got the achievement but the game lagged out on us in the bonus round at the end of the 3rd set. So annoyed as we had 14 lives left in the pool to do the last set with and we were well equipped ammo wise so we would easily have got the vidmaster achievement, and recon, as it's the only one we need now to get it. I do have real issues with lag on this game, particularly later in the day..

Hey, I find the brute plasma rifle to be more effective then that of the plasma pistol, only because you have to charge the pistol, although that only really takes less then a second, I still find it better to have the brute plasma rifle instead, because somtimes the brutes may dogde the pistol shot, but since the plasma rilfe is more of a spray and pray weapon, If you miss one shot you can still follow up with another 20 in a couple of seconds, and I find that it takes out shields just about as fast as you would with the plasma pistol.
