i personally think the 10-kill spree with nades is the worst to obtain, just because of the lack of nades at times. your opinion?

In Vino Veritas

Agreed. The one that I have was not easy to get, and was mostly due to luck. Hero is pretty tough too because of how specific the criteria are for receiving one.

I'm someone you knew, maybe even were friends with.....but from another time...another place.

The Mayans were the most epic trolls EVAR.

10 stick spree. Sometimes sticking a brute with a plasma doesn't count as a stick, just as a kill resetting your whole spree.

Agreed. The "Sticky Fingers" medal is the toughest to earn in Halo ODST. Even all the multikills medals are so easy to get in firefight, and all the spree medals too. Don't say about the style medals, which are the easiest. Sticky Fingers is the only hard medal to get in Halo ODST, you have to try to earn the medal while the Catch skull is on in Firefight.

Sticky Fingers is by far the toughest to get. I spent an entire solo effort on Windward to get it and have not repeated it since. I can easily get a Sticky Spree (5 sticks in a row) but getting 10 is just tough because of the lack of Spike & Plasma grenades at times as well as the idea it has to be 10 in a row AND none of them can miss or cause death to others. I had a chain of 8 going and my toss for #9 stuck a Grunt and took down his buddy too and when I threw a Spike for #10 at a Brute and stuck him I never got the medal due to that double-kill on the Grunt.

Windward, though, is by far the best place to get it and seems to have a more plentiful supply of Spike and Plasma grenades - especially if you hang out in the central building.

Got a Sticky Fingers on Crater (Night), but yeah, I agree: it's by far the harder medal to earn.

Crater (Night)? Wow you had some luck there then! I always found that to be rather short on the Spike & Plasma grenades getting dropped off. Congrats!

Thanks. It was solo, and I was staying pretty close to the spawn area, if I remember well, so that might have contributed to it. Grunts + Jet Pack brutes + camping spot = Sticky fingers. But you have to keep moving around to pick up as many nades as you can.

Yea I got my Sticky Fingers on Windward playing solo also. I used the central building and the stairs as my area of mayhem. I'd collect Plasma & Spikes from the large doorway area at the bottom of the stairs and lure Brutes in by standing up near the top of the stairs and just chuck 'em down then run fast to collect any that were dropped and always remember to throw the sticky type that was being dropped the most, which in my case was Spikes since I was targeting Brutes mostly.

Yeah that one is hard, Because if you stick a grunt and it blows up another grunt you wont get it.

Yea I was one sticky away last night on Security Zone. I'd just scored Stick #8 and was going to tag a Brute with a Spike Grenade ... when a freakin' Grunt walked right up from around the corner and was behind the Brute who had a Spike Grenade stuck to his forehead. The blast took out the Brute but also the Grunt and wiped out my chance. 83 sticks last night and only turned in one Sticky Spree medal - really sucked!

I think everyone agrees this is the hardest one to get.
