i'm stuck at the first Wraith part. i've checkpointed between the two buildings at top where the BR ammo is, and my current weapons are fuel rod gun (8 shots on it total) and BR, which could "infinitely" refuel.

i've already used up the beam rifle that i carried in, and the sniper rifle that was there, taking out the first wave (actually, i still have a couple snipes left, but w/e).

every time i try to kill the brutes, I can usually get at least 5 kills, especially on the jump pack brutes, but then the giant wraith mortar/chieftain fuel rod kills me.

any tips here? i've tried it ... a lot.

"What do you mean I hurt your feelings?, I didn't know you had any feelings, what do you mean i ain't kind?, i'm just not you're kind, what do you mean i couldn't be the president, of the united states of america, let me tell you something, its still we, the people, right? if there's a new way, I'll be the first in line, but it better work this time!"

try using plasma pistols to bring down the brutes' shields and/or to stop the wraith. are you doing this on legendary? cause i hated that map on legendary....

try doing coop over xbox live or if you dont have xbox live there is a second sniper rifle with 16 bullets on the bridge you came under

well not a bridge but its in the area and it looks like a bridge but it doesnt go over anything really more like a roof to a road

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Walk back to the "gate", where you would hear Johnson say "Bird's'll meet you in the next valley". To the left (facing the highway) there is a ladder. Climb up it and you will be met with more sniper ammo.

Leader of the Deadly Viper Squad

Kill a Grunt that's not too far deep within where all the enemies are and steal its Plasma Pistol. Run through the pipes on the right of the map and just proceed to the Wraith. Use the Plasma Pistol's charge to disable the Wraith. Strafe left or right to avoid its mortar fire and kill the gunner first, then driver. Now take that purple beast back to the Covenant that you skipped and enact brutal revenge for all the times they made you go back to the last checkpoint.

yea i'm playing on legendary ... this is the last level until i beat everything on legendary XD

and .. i'd love a missile pod/sniper but i think you guys are thinking about the wrong part ... its like there's two shacks at the top of a giant non-steep hill and has the case full of BR ammo in it.

@Conquistadorr - the problem is all the Chieftains with fuel rod guns that sort of surround the wraith. then the phantom that comes in midway the battle.

Ugh, another legendary try hard.

Really its not that hard, really. Go far enough away so that the Wraith cannon will take a while to get to you. Then use anything at your disposal to take out the Brutes, there is only one Chieftan with a fuelrod gun. And he isn't hard to take out. There is a trip mine at the place where the marines where getting attacked so if your quick you can use one of those to get a couple of brutes and or wraith. Also a turret I believe which rips brutes shields.

Now if you want difficult: second to last (I think) level of CoD:WaW on verteran. To describe it to those of you who don't already know. Its sort of like grunt topolis or whatever its called. Only you can only see the grunts once in a Blue moon, and these skulls are on: Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch,Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, Catch, and Catch.

be good.

Try running away and slowly taking them out one by one. It will be frustrating when you die, but you'll eventually get through it.

Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

Run like hell. That is how I got through the part with the wraith. The FRG isn't going to do much. If you stand and fight, you will likely die.

What?
1 chieftain?
Use the turret?
1 tripmine to kill the wraith?
Have you even played on legendary?

Anyway.
Use plasma weapons on the Brutes, and use a sniper or BR to headshot them.
The tank is easy, just get close and jack. If there are brutes with hammers, let them charge and lunge at you, dodge to the left and assassinate them.
Leave the Chieftains until you've killed everyone else (Not including the tank).
