The Package is complete, which now brings the community total up to 7/9 missions conquered!
FYI, If you're going to watch the film, I turned into a chicken-sh** during the last bit, hense why it too so long to get through it.
Nice job! Both on the level and that poetic monolougue. I think I'm tearing up :) That adrenaline rush is something to experience at the end of the level. However, it can also make you screw up. You also forgot to mention that feeling of crushing defeat when you die on the last wave on Sierra 117, The Ark, Coastal Highway, and the Pillar of Autumn (which I think anyone has yet to experience.)
Speaking of which, it's just until now that I thought the Halo: Reach campaign was impossible. I thought we'd breeze through all the levels, then get stuck on the Pillar. There's barely any ammo at the end, only a crate with two pistols. After that, a few generals with plasma launchers with no allied support.
But earlier, I was looking through the most downloaded files (it's late and I'm tired, sue me) and I came across one video. It was titled "This is how everyone is going to do it from now on." I was expecting an amazing shortcut which would make the level as easy as Winter Contingency. While it didn't have that, it had the next best thing.
In the pistol room when you hold off against the Covenant at the end, there's a DMR crate glitched into the opposite wall. You can knock it out with a few melees. It has, like, six DMRs and because they're in a crate, they're all exempt from Famine. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there aren't any elites in that firefight part. So those DMRs are pretty much the only things you have to use, except for the hammer chieftan.
Guys, this is TOTALLY POSSIBLE.
Also, you guys probably already know this, but all the battles in Nightfall are skippable except for the last two. The level is not hard. The only tricky part are those turrets and Rangers at the end.
Actually, I reached the end of "package" twice today and died before finally completing it successfully.
It gets better.
The first time I died, I had reached last wave of enemies. I was taunting the sword General to come get me. I had a full DMR and plenty of ammo in my plasma rifle. He charged. I poured on the plasma. His shield flickered a few times but didn't die. His pace was too quick, and he cut me down to size, ending my reign. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about my jet pack. Just for kicks, I loaded from the previous check point and decided to see what would happen had I used it. He retreated! I finally managed to get his shield when he came at me again, and ended him with a headshot.
Halsey gave the signal to enter and end the mission...
Two hours later, I had the mission conquered. The other one looked cooler, but failed none the less. At least it's done which brings our community that much closer to the finish line.
Speaking of which, excellent advice on PoA! Thanks for sharing with us! I think this was the battle most of us were fearing. We've totally got this :-)
