Yo it's OO629 talking here.

Reach is coming, woohoo! So some of you guys might want to complete the firefight achievements (for... i dunno, maybe for fun?).

I figured a relatively easy way to succeed in like 70 minutes (1 hour and few minutes)

Hammer spree.


What to do:
-play on easy
-always keep a smg but use it only on buggers
-kill anything the way you want but as soon a hammer guy come, take his hammer.
-kill EVERYTHING (cept buggers and ghosts) with a hammer. either a meelee or a swing.


you get a +1k bonus for 5 ennemies killed by hammer and a +3k bonus for 10 ennemies.

just meelee 10 guys with hammer, kill a bad guy with another weapon (so the hammer spree reset) then redo it.

During bonus wave, just try not to die. waste up all your accumulated grenades since then, they help rack up points.
*note: whatever you do, dont lose that hammer if its empty.*

my last game, I got 26 medal ''10 hammer kill''. 3,000X 26=78,000. add the ''5 hammer kill'' medals: 1,000X 30 = 30,000.

108,000 points from an empty hammer. talk about easy achievements. I completed my achievements in like 70 minutes (each.)

if your not doing this it should take 2 hours.


tips:
-meelee the hunters!
-stay away from those pesky buggers
-when black eye skull is on, it make you get energy back when you go ''rage''. ennemy shoot you, you hit them, you get energy back, they hit you, you hit them, etc... You always win since you play on easy.
-to kill a hammer guy effectively, dont ever shoot him. just back off. stay away from him, when he jump toward you with his hammer on the side *he spring foward and hit sideway*, step right. he should miss completely. assassinate quickly before he turn back.


Hope these tips help!

98% of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature.

Or....you could get 2 or 3 friends and play on Normal, and get it much easier, and almost half the time....plus you benefit others aswell.

Thats what I did, about 7 or 8 of those 200k achievements in two afternoons with a few of my friends.
