You, individually must make the points for that level, overall team score does not work for this.

Meta 101
-Play on Normal, unless you wish to play on Heroic or Legendary, but Normal will be sufficient.

-Gold skulls: These add up your point totals much more quickly. These skulls in particular have the 'most bang for the buck' and least detriment to you as far as enemy difficulty.
Fog, Famine, Thunderstorm on Covenant levels.
**Trade out Thunderstorm for Catch on Flood levels. The larger flood forms will leave grenades behind wherever they die, but never throw them, more ammo for you.

-Silver skulls: No points, but make the game more fun. Grunt's B-Day Party can be of benefit in multi kills if you (with Cowbell) head shot a Grunt in the company of others, they all blowup and you have a multi kill point count.
IWHBYD (mandatory, just makes it better), Cowbell, Grunt's B-Day Party

-Keep moving, kill everything. The time scoring bonus is your friend. Combination and multi kills add up for higher points.

-Do not go on other achievement excursions, for they likely will waste time.

With these skulls, if you know the levels well enough, you will have no problem getting well more than enough points. I always did them solo to ensure I was not competing for the points and never came up short. In most cases I would double the points needed.


For verification, just check my campaign game history, look at the skulls used and points acquired.

I AM DONE linking my gamertag. I'm sick of people constantly following me and giving me their goddamn opinion about every game I play.

Get a life and stop following me.

my way to do it is to tank an entire level.
I'd put on herioc, and I'd stack up on an insane amount of skulls.
Famine, Dunderstorm, Mythic, Catch!, Rough luck, Bog.
as long as you don't die an insane amount of time, you can take as long as you want with the level, and you should have easily 2 or 3 times more points nessessary.
but it's hard, you gotta have nerves of steel and you gotta be pretty damn efficient to get through a run on that.

i am the libarian. menidect bias is your friend reclaimer.

for skulls i use: tough luck, fog, mythic, thunderstorm, catch

Go Reach.

Okay, what I did for them was great and I passed by about 5,000 or more every time.

Difficulty: Normal
Skulls: All except Blind, Tilt, BlackEye and Iron

Hope this helps!

BTW: If you play alone, this should leave plenty of space for dieing :)

-Normal difficulty
-tough luck, fog, famine, thunderstorm, tilt, mythic
-play 2 player coop you can both hit the totals on all the levels and you won't lose a ton of time starting over from checkpoints.
- plasma pistol overcharge then headshot any brute you see, it will net you 1300 something points (sometimes it gives half if your friend overcharges em.)

- for Cortana and Halo swap thunderstorm for catch as flood don't toss nades, and swapping out thunderstorm reduces shielded elite flood.

- for cortana keep a ranged weapon for ranged pure forms and use the sword. remember in coop arbiter spawns with a sword, and deaths aren't that important if one of you runs out of sword energy.

-if anyone sees this (via searchbar, google, whatever) and needs help on floodgate, get 5000+ points and just run to the end under 10 minutes.
