Strategies are for people who aren't Pro enough to run into a group of enemies with a plasma pistol and come out with a killtacular. For that is the BUNGLE way.

I tease I tease. Well written tips. Though I wouldn't recommend dying in the bonus round myself. I like the extra lives- makes me feel secure. Helps my mentality while playing.

lives are not subtracted when you die in the bonus round. It is my strategy so that I don't have to waste time to replenish my magnum
ammo. Plus I spawn near my chopper so I can rush to the laser.

Like I said earlier angler, I am on every about every night at 11:00 est.

I was referring to the fact that you get bonus lives if you do well in the bonus round, sir.

  • 12.03.2009 5:24 PM PDT

I mean die near the end of the round-not the beginning. You obviously want to gain points (and a bonus life) during the round.

Lol. I did better than that last night. I went in with one laser shot and came out with a killpocolypse.

  • 12.03.2009 5:58 PM PDT

Very good guide, I watched all your vids and I think I got the strategy correct but im not a big fan of solo my self, if you guys ever wanna do some co - op drop me a message my GT is the same as my BNet username.

My highest score is 1.2 million when doing the endure ach but my team mates had to D/C and we still had like 15 lives left.

wow. im going to have to try this sometime.

could you give the exact point values for each of the burning skulls?


2 million on legendary for the 1st one
4 million on legendary for the 2nd one

No one is sure about the last one. Only three people have it and we all got 10 million on legendary. There was a guy that got 5 million but he didn't get it. I would say anywhere from 6 million to 10 million. As I stated in my last thread, I would hate to be the guy that quits out at 8 million only to learn that it is not enough for the last skull. My recommendation would be to get 10 million to be sure.


must it on legendary cause BerserkerBarage did it on Heroic?

  • 12.07.2009 7:56 AM PDT

no chopper zone man come on. I could get to 2000000000 if I had a chopper through out the entire game!!

It must be on legendary. The person you were referring to had a high score of 6 million on heroic, but he got the flaming skull by earning 4 million on legendary with some of his buddies.

Ok thanks I watched all of your vids and great techniques I think this is working very good
(first I thought u are a freaking player who played 1 day in one run but after I read this thread it changed)

  • 12.07.2009 9:14 AM PDT

If only people read my threads....

Ok I sent you a friend request

  • 12.08.2009 5:37 AM PDT

I accepted it.

By the way, I don't know if anyone plays alot of legendary but has anyone noticed that the enemies are acting a little different lately. I was wondering if Bungie has the ability to change the reactions of the enemy in certain situations. I have played lost platoon alot and have recently noticed several changes in the way the enemy reacts to situations that I put them in.

i.e. more flying brutes attacking at once, fuel rod grunts firing their shots when they didn't used to and brute choppers reacting differently when I go to splatter them. No worries though, my tactics still work fine, just have to be a little more aware.
