Very well done SV. This should help alot of people out with it.

Endure is purely about teamwork, and strategy. Without it, your hopes will fail. Again, great great post.

How about a special addition 360 that doesn't break? They could make it bright pink with ponies on the side and i would still buy it....

I ahvent played on this map i just hope my Team are good at driving warthogs.

does it really need a tut? we nearly got this when we had 2 ppl going afk and we were falling asleep from playing. 1 person lazers the top hill wraith everyone else has choppers. you kill the back wraith with the choppers. then you kill everything else. Once you get 3 ppl with choppers you can't loose. Its not hard. Just don't do it when you have been playing from midnight with 2 randoms.

That level seems a lot harder to do with all the vehicles involved.


Why not try it on Security Zone?

You have the high ground. There are plenty of walls for cover. A full laser spawns often. The only problem is that you have to deal with 3 chieftains at a time but I get one of their hammers and go Jedi on that ass.

Signatures are for squares.

I was very close to getting Endure last night, I believe it was Crater Night. 2 people gaurd the left stair case, two people gaurd right. One person keep a plasma pistol to kill the engineers. One person sticks on turret until Catch/blackeye turns on.

We made it to wave 45, with 7 lives when I got disconnected from Live...

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

This is an awesome guide. I played a 2.5-hour game of Firefight last night on Lost Platoon, but we were not trying for Vidmaster: Endure. We only had 3 players in our party, and for the two who were not me, it was their very first time playing Firefight (they play H3 Matchmaking all the time though).

We very quickly fell into these same roles that you describe, except that our use of the Warthog was limited -- with only three players in the match, we quickly found that choppers allowed us to attack from two sides at once and also to support our laser guy.

All the same, when I do go for VM:Endure, I will be following this guide, and almost certainly doing it on Lost Platoon.

My particular team is avoiding maps with vehicles, besides the tanks, is there any other difference with doing the large maps? Like, less enemies?

  • 09.23.2009 9:05 AM PDT

Awesome job. I'm definitely using this guide later tonight.

halo is not tactical or very team oriented. its not like "Dieter, frag and clear on zulu. Loiselle and Price, yoo fall in on my lead. Go! *boom, door breaks and some gunshots heard.* Tango Down! Gold Element, secure hostage. Blue Element, regroup at objective rally point." its usually more like, "yo i gots rockets, ima go camp in the sword room" which you dont even have to say. my point is that you dont need to communicate in halo

Me and Pope had a nice game going earlier but it D/Ced an hour and 15 minutes through. I think we're going for it again today.

Really really really great guide. I might suggest adding weapons per map if you get the chance.

For 1, the vehicles provide an unlimited supply of powerful weaponry, esp the chopper which can splatter a brute chieftain even with mythic and tilt on. Moreover, the more open space gives maneuvering room not found compact zones. When grenades start flying, it's helpful to have space to dodge them, rather than being stuck in a corridor. It also reduces the effectiveness of an enemy hammer cause their advance is made extremely obvious.

Great guide. We found the level with the crashed pod was easiest and fastest. (Although we died on the final wave of the 4th set :(

should be a sticky
