Which is best?

Definitely Alpha Site all the enemies have to come through two narrow stairways. Lost Platoon is too open and if you hide in one of the garages you'll corner yourself. Alpha site gives you plenty of room to fall back if the enemies get through the stairways.

Well, I can't say from a Vidmaster standpoint since I didn't even try it, but I like driving Warthogs, so I guess I would pick Lost Platoon.

People say that Alpha Site is easier, though.

Alpha Site is close quarters with easy pick offs using the 2 per side technique through the bottlenecks. No vehicles to worry about. Easy bonus round with clear sights into the upper chambers.

Lost Platoon is very risky as you have wraiths and the game becomes very dependent on laser usage and obtaining choppers. Once you get those choppers chieftans and hunters are easy take downs. Plus the vehicles have infinite ammo so famine is no problem.

Personally, after 106 Endure completions on Alpha Site, I find it the easiest. I've even tried to do Endure once on Legendary solo and made it to Set 4, Round 2, Wave 5 on Alpha Site. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/odstg.aspx?gameid=69852353&pl ayer=Thee Elf

When you play Lost Platoon you will be forced to get into choppers because of theTilt and Mythic skulls. This turns the game into a lesser teamwork game. Four choppers doing their own business. When you die it might just be on a cheiftan level and you get trapped in the same spawn and the cheiftan doesn't leave. In Alpha Site, on the other hand, it becomes more strategic and teamwork compatible. Pair up for each side and stay back in your side to avoid being targeted by fire and grenades. When a chieftan comes assemble all four soldiers together to provide extra support. Assign who gets shotgun, sniper, and rockets. But it also helps to retrieve the extra rocket and sniper ammo.

Always outnumbered, never outgunned.

Lost Platoon is by far the easiest. Thats why all the solo/legendary high scores are all on Lost Platoon.

This. If you're smart about it, and you know a few tricks, Lost Platoon can be very easy to get Endure on.

Then again, Alpha Site is pretty easy also, if you're patient about it, and have people that know when to use the right weapons.
