Subject: Bungie! What were you thinking???

Recently I did Endure with some of my friends, we spent 3 hours getting to set the last round of set 4.... then guess what happens. Yup, BAM! We get disconnected. Would it hurt to nurf this achievement a bit bungie? It is way too time consuming and way too hard. What do you guys think?

I'm a casual player that just want's recon.

i agree with you, they should make it where you have to finish the 3 set not 4th

  • 04.24.2010 2:33 PM PDT

Did you hear that it was originally Set 7 on Legendary? Be grateful, just keep trying, you'll get it eventually.

It doesn't even start getting hard until set 4.

Oh, well. It's not really bungies fault you got disconnected. You'll just have to try again.

Did I not mention I was a casual player? I don't have 14 hours each day, and this is the 7th time I've tried this achievment.

I don't have the achievement because I don't have time.. maybe the achievement is actually directed to Vidmasters and not casual players?

I wouldve prefered this.

Like, Recon would still possible have meaning.

What's the deal with people saying endure is hardest of the vidmasters? VERY simple.

1. Play on Alpha Site.
2. Activate the grunt birthday and IWHBYD skulls, if desired.
3. Go to the theater lobby quickly to see who has best connection.
4. GO back to firefight lobby. Promote the person with best connection to leader.
5. Be absolutely sure that everyone has their mics on and good to go. It is possible to get this achievement without good communication, but it is quite difficult.
6. Make the most of the elevator trick! Stockpile hammers, rockets, SMGs, plasma weapons, everything in the elevator so it won't disappear. Hammers for when black eye is on, rockets for hunters/chieftans, plasma weapons for rounds when tilt is on, SMGs for when drones appear, etc.
7. Put two people on either side of the map! There are only two entrances into the battlefield in this map, have two people cover each entrance.
8. Don't run off! The spawning area on Alpha Site is perfect. You have a perfect view of your enemies, It has lots of great cover, and still lots of room to move around. Plus, the two different spawning areas can be accessed freely without exposing yourself to fire.
9. Save fuel rods and rockets for bonus rounds and hunters.
10. Handle chieftains the right way. For hammers, simply charge them and when they lunge, they will fly right past you. Fuel rods, just stand back and use explosives and headshots.

Easy vidmaster, really.

What do you expect Bungie to do about it? If you really are a casual gamer, that might be why you aren't getting the achievement.

It's entitled as a Vid-Master, not a Vid-Casual. It is not hard to get, but it's time consuming. It's not Bungie's fault you lagged out so stop complaining.

don't for get one of the must important rules, you need team members that can actually play decently

Thanks Maverick! We actually made it! I don't think I've ever played a game for this many hours straight but I got it! It took us 14 hours and we finished the match with 6 lives which was pretty surprising.

Thanks to all those who gave me advice on how to actually beat this.

Help be part of the solution,

make the halo 3 community a better place for everyone

It's not Bungie's fault for connection fails.

14 hours? You're kidding right?

It took like 2 for me. I actually thought it would be hard....but it wasn't really. Just chieftans were difficult.

I am not trying to be blunt, so please don't think I'm insulting anyone. I don't have Recon either.

I don't think recon is for casual players.

Don't worry, in about one week Recon will be on the back burner as you Reach for something worth your casual time.

Just think that instead of facing the previous immeasurable odds of having been noticed by Bungie and given Recon. We now have a convenient list to check off that guarantees Recon.

Keep Reaching.

...and good luck.

Hope Rides Alone

I've yet to actually try. I went on FF on legendary on my own and went straight to crater. an odd thing happens, for some reason the brutes or chieftans would stand right outside the automated doorway. The brutes would shoot if you were in plain sight but I threw grenades. The chieftans, well if a grenade makes him recoil into the spawn room with you than you are truly screwed. So I wasted ammo into him. Got into the the 3rd round like this until I got chieftan raped by thinking it's safe to throw a grenade when it was that close XP

Arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics, Even if you win your still retarded.

HAH! Me and my friends were on the final wave in Set 3, and all my team-mates were dead but me. Lets not forget the Black-Eye skull is on.

With me? good.

Im the only one left alive, along with another jetpack brute. I lose my Stamina...I get cocky and run up to hit the brute, somehow I miss, he misses, I miss AGAIN and then he hits me so hard i flew into next week....

3 1/2 hours gone.

Then we tried to do it again, and we had connection problems.

Sad Face :(
