If only people read my threads....

I found someone with the second last firefight skull, which you said was between 5-10 million points
Looking at the person's service record, it was about 6 million, so that should be what that skull is

Just wanted to let you guys know that :P

Yes, this is a very imformative thread, which has also helped me (although it would help me more if it weren't for the constant bad luck during games for me :P)

Well I tried again, you know what happened............ :(:(

The next to last skull is 4 million on legendary. The last one is between 6 and 10.

Anglerfish - I have noticed you keep posting in my thread. If you want to play sometime I will help you get to 2 million. It will take about 4 hours. I don't get on until 11 pm est.

so you say the last is 6-10 million, then it is really probably 7-10 million, as this guy has 6 million on the second last skull

Daad- sure, but 11 at night, It would have to be a weekend (like this weekend), or maybe we're in different time zones :)

EDIT: I saw the est., so that is like 10 PM for me, so it would be a weekend, so sure, that would be nice :)

You can never succeed if you never try.

I wonder how well doing the hammer strategy on Alpha site would work for this?

What hammer strategy are you referring to? My strategy for hammer chieftans is if they are running at me and lunge forward I jump and 180 ninja them. If they jump up, I run backward and jump until I get the above scenario.

Awesome guide, sorta ruins my hopes to see the flaming skulls are only awarded on legendary. Getting one of Alpha Site some other one is going to be tough.

  • 11.30.2009 7:57 PM PDT

DAD and ANGL,

Thanks for all the Lost Platoon tips.

I will try to join you guys if I can. I've been looking for folks to work the flaming skulls with but most of my friends don't have the patience for the skulls (once they've earned Endure they're done.)

I might be able to get my friend H1Z1 to join us...he and I have been perfecting our Kizingo Blvd run (best is 1.24 million so far).

Regards,
HASS

I've got a hammer strategy for alpha site and crater day where i continue to get hammer sprees and dream crushers very easily. What you do is as soon as you get the dream crusher, pull out your pistola or other weapon and kill something with it. What this does is reset the spree. Even if the hammer is out of energy, doing a beatdown with it still counts toward the spree, so i always save my hammer, even if its empty. This works very well when i try it. Just make sure that you don't get cornered or that you've got a teammate to watch your back when you try this. The maps are in a perfect shape for this because you can run around in a circular motion and while the enemies focus on you, your teammates can get them from behind while you get the points or need to get to cover. I hope this helps anyone who plays these maps.

Wow I like this thread! PPl that play ODST still..Yes I am one of them lol. Love the firefight and the game. I will play with anyone anytime I'm online just yell

  • 12.01.2009 3:55 PM PDT

If only people read my threads....

Yeah, finally a game that doesn't succeed in killing me immediately :)
I made it to set 2, round 3, wave 5, with 407170 points, which is about 52759 points more than my previous record :P

when I have 1 like + current life, I was being attacked by 2 hammer and 1 fuel rod cheftian, then a chopper gets stuck, I jack it, a kill them all, then a wraith kills me, then the last hammer cheiftian kills me, game over............

well, it was nice when a grenade from a brute made me fall right on a chopper, and when I got an enemy chopper to splatter a fuel rod cheiftian.......lol........:P:P

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Didn't they say that Lost Platoon was a "Chopper-Free Zone" due to one guy soloing it on Legendary on a chopper? I find that whoever did that is very clever. He was the first to reach 10m+ points legitimately.

The last one is between 6 and 10.

It's at 8, or at least that is a pretty safe assumption considering every other skull is double the one before it :)

I kinda thought the same thing. However, I would HATE to be the guy that quits at 8 million only to find that it is not enough for the last skull. I always say to get 10 million to be sure.

  • 12.03.2009 12:18 AM PDT

One theory I saw was 7 million or even 7,777,777 based on Bungie's affinity for the numeral 7.

Also, the prior skulls are not consistently double. The easy skulls are at 10k and 50k; the normal skulls are at 100k and 500k; and the heroic are at 1.0m and 1.5m.

I concur with Dadiola: until someone fails or stops at less than 10 million AND still gets the skull, we won't know for sure (or, of course, Bungie decides to reveal the figure).

I wouldn't doubt that, but I guess I wouldn't want to quit between there and 8 mil to find out. Well, honestly, I can't get to either, so I guess it matters little =D
