You cannot kill what you did not create

I have been thinking of the millions of tries at the Vidmaster Endure Achievement I've had and my lust for that s3xy Recon armor over my vacation so much I am dreaming Halo! I want to HAS RECONNN!!
After watching another seemingly unhelpful YouTube video about playing on Alpha Site, blah blah blah, I came up with a great idea!
For people like me who have mothers persistent on never allowing you to play for a full 2 hours + to get this achievement, I have found a possible life saver!
I haven't tried this yet, but I would like to hear first from the Bungie community...
On the map Alpha Site, instead of doing what is recommended by most experts and staying back at the stairs, etc. - I thought of pushing all the way forward to where the enemy ships drop the waves of troublemakers.
Not all the way so the Phantoms can shoot you and your teammates under the roof, but just enough so you get a clear shot of grunts, jackals, and the rest of them on the floor beneath that platform. I even believe those random benches lying around in that area could be of use for headshots and quicker kills (when the Phantom leaves of course).
Also, since there is a set of stairs from the platform that the enemies spawn on down to where your team is located, the enemies are funneled. Here, they are funneled through only ONE set of stairs, rather than two stairways when your waiting all the way back. Now all you have to do is just launch all your grenades and blast through the enemies before they get past you.
Once a wave is done, you and your group could move up to that platform where you massacred your enemy and load up with much needed ammo and grenades (which I suggest to keep for later when the brutes come by).
I thought since the enemy waves only come by in a single Phantom, it should be easy to pick 'em off from where they spawn.
I know this is a new idea, and I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, but wouldn't it be nice!?
Tell me what you think...
Ozonefan14 not bad but id stick with the staying at the stairs strategy thats how i got it :)
