Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

You can try Lost Platoon and do the Wraith glitch.

do alpha site and just get equal amount of people on the stairs which will be 2 on each of the stairs and kill everything coming for the hall ways your looking at and reminder (get the rockets at the 3 or 4 wave for the 5 wave to kill the gravity hammer dude way easier) good luck =)

This.
Whatever you do, don't try and do anything with the crates. Trying to push them into a spot where they block the Covenant will only get you stuck with a spike or plasma grenade.
Try getting some teammates who you are sure won't leave, too.

I'm not discriminatory. I don't like any of you.

What's that then?

I'm going to do the alpha site one, it makes sense as there's no sudden unexplained deaths caused by a lagtastic wraith shot.

Make sure you understand all the little nuances of alpha site before going for it. There is a (hard to see) sniper ammo case on the platform were the phantom lands and an extra rocket ammo crate (2 extra rockets) where the other phantom lands. One of the most useful things to remember is that any weapons placed inside the elevator across from your spawns WILL NOT DESPAWN. This is perfect for storing extra rockets, full rods, hammers, and snipers when your not using them. My team always grabs the rocket and rocket ammo crate then put it in there every round. This way you don't have to worry about losing it if you die before the fifth wave and it frees up your secondary weapon for a plasma pistol to better take out brutes. Finally, you want to make sure you save a rocket or fuel rod for the bonus round. Stand as far back as you can and, once he says "Iron on", lob a shot as far back into the room were the grunts spawn as possible for an easy killionaire.

These are just little tricks that will make it much easier to acquire Endure, but if you don't work together and lack coordination you most likely will FAIL.

Get two members on both sides to cover one anothers back and make sure to use callouts..Not much I can say.

Lost Platoon:

1 member - remains in the building with a laser, killing all wraiths. Keep the hog on the stairs for emergencies.

3 members - hijack choppers and deal with everything else. Hunters, brutes, and chieftains can all be splattered. Use additional choppers to block staircases.

Retreat into the building for Black Eye waves if needed. Otherwise, kill kill kill.

Pretty much what these nice folks have already said.
Go for it on either Firefight or Lost Platoon.

I actually got Endure on Windward, but good teamwork is much, much more important than what map you're playing on.

I did it on Alpha Site and was bored.

Course the other players were a better than me and not only scored more but also died less.

But at least I wasn't a ball and chain.

So which one of you kind kind folks would help me.. I had 4 people I know all of them personally and it didn't work we worried and talked about other -blam!- . That got in the way of actually sucessfully doing this.. I have me and another dude who are serious and want to get this done. It's my last one and I really wanna get this not only for recon but as a sucessful accomplishment in Halo.

  • 03.08.2010 10:07 PM PDT

Make sure you get good people! This is the most important factor. My group was beast and had 25 lives at the end of the 4th set.

A player that doesn't need to cheat to rise his rank or medals
I earn them

Halo is the most awesome game i've ever played. It has a great story, an impressive gameplay and It plays well with others, this is the most important point. A game is usually created to make people have fun. And Halo gave me many and many hours of pure enjoiment.
Thanks Bungie for made a such wonderful game.

Doing a firefight in Alpha site on heroic difficulty and with 3 of your friends is the only and the best way to unlock the achievement. It is also easy in that map to reach it.

First time i tried i've unlocked Endure with even 21 life remaining.
