HEY!! There's the enemy! Can I shoot it??

Oh, before I forget:

Is it possible for when doing PoA with four people, is it possible for them to split into two groups? One group could get the the Mass Driver (One gets in, and the other (if done correctly) could drop-shield so he and his buddy are protected) so they could keep the phantoms and banshees at bay. The other 2 can use tyrant's tactic during the firefight, but both players have a plasma pistol as a back up, so if need be, they can work in tandem taking down a shielded cheiftan.

Not sure if this would work, but then again, it might!

Cheers!

He had sprint because he was speed running. Honestly, I've considered taking sprint too, because it takes so damn long to run up to where the budget 'hog is to go to the top of the spire.

I remeber from Winter Contingency LASO to kill the last zealot you could use the energy sword.

Get real close with full shields and wack him 5 times to pop his shields your's will also be recharching because of black eye wven if he's kicking you.

Not that the method in tyrant's guide doesn't work, this just made it easier for me.

Go make a clip!

not very long a few mins at the most

Completed the package slaaso challenge thanks to tyrant's video one again. I can finally say that this time he had a much easier time in his video than I did. I nearly ran out of ammo in the very beginning trying to get rid of the turret grunts. I was fine for awhile until the last scene with the tank. There was one fuel rod turret that kept killing me because 4-5 of the shots would still make it around the corner as I tried to back away. The last invisible elite was pretty hard to kill but I finally dispatched him. Hijacking the both the banshees was really easy though. When I went to get the first wraith that was a little difficult. For some reason the turret elite would blast me until I found the exact spot to stand where he couldn't rotate to shoot me. I also got blasted by one of the second waves of dropships. I thought I could destroy the turret like in firefight but it seemed invincible and I died after I shot at it 15 times. I was able to hide out like in the video for the 3rd and 4th waves. I wound up hijacking a second wraith as mine took quite a beating and I didn't want to risk being stuck past a checkpoint with a nearly dead wraith.

This Laso challenge is by far the easiest with ToTS being second. There was nearly no elites that could cause me any grief or required close encounters with them to get past them.

Thanks again tyrant.

Too long, can not do. He wants to be done in less than 15 seconds because it is a SPEEDRUN.

Still congrats on 10:15 Dark, downloading now :)

1.i said at the most most of the times it takes far less then that

2.what is with speed runs it seems like any idea that isn't a speedrun idea gets rejected no offense but NOT every can or wants to do a speed run

Halo Reach Mythic Conqueror

Ok so today after our failed quad mythic PoA attempts I was inspired to try to figure out a better way to get the rooftop skip method to work despite the lag of 4 player co-op that makes the jump extra tricky.

I decided that it would be nice if there was something to stand on that would make the jump a bit easier so I tried a couple different things with no good results (jumping off the mongoose, concussion rifling the ammo crate next to it, etc). So finally I decided to try to get one of those trucks into position on the hill to where I could very easily jump from the top of it to the rooftops. And guess what? After some hilarious hijinks of trying to jump the bridge in said trucks, I was able to do it.

I don't know if anyone ever noticed but there is actually an alternate route to get across the bridge to the right. I drove the truck along this alternate cliffside and wedged it between the fence. The path was a little to steep at this point to drive so I hopped out, grabbed the armor lock and EMP it the rest of the way (like the method in the sword base gauss hog video), then after driving around for a bit trying to figure out the best way over the barriers I just went with AL + EMP once again. I got the truck over the second barrier, drove it to the cliff opposite the rooftops and it made the jump a piece of cake.

I know that in solo play the jump is pretty straight forward, but again this might be a good option in co-op since we seemed to have trouble taking out the wraith and despawning didn't work. Anyone who cares to check out how I did it here are the videos (no render though...)

Truck fun 1
Truck fun 2

It should be noted that there actually is a truck that spawns in the wraith area that could be used for this, but its in a pretty "hot" area, combat wise.

Leumas, it's good to see that at least you're still in high spirits.

Near the end of our Fail of Autumn session, instead of laughing at our deaths like we're supposed to, we all got frustrated and irritable towards each other. Tyrant threatened to kick me at one point.

Still, I hope we can finish the mission before the challenge starts; I still think we can do it. No hard feelings, people; are we still up to it?

You suggested this as an alternate strategy to Dark when he was discussing his speedrun. And we don't reject non-speedrun tactics, but the banshee has already been discussed. We decided the time tradeoff and reliability of your tactic were fairly less desirable than those of alternative strategies such as leaving the banshee for the elite to take, or plasma pistoling the elite.

I just watched Dark's run and he spent one minute at the top of the spire.

Of course not, but dark is obviously trying to do a speed run so he's going to pick the quickest method, even if its a bit harder.

Hey for NA its possible to skip all fighting at sinoviet center. All you need is a jetpack. In your falcon near the back of the building youll find a ledge. on the ledge is a hole leading to several beams. Go down the hole and onto the beams. There you can see the platform with the elevators, and can jetpack down and get in with little if any resistance. Go up the elevator and pick up camo, if you use the camo at the right time you should only be shot at by one or two drones right when your at the elevator door. when you go down all enemies will have despawned and you can call for evac.

I spent a whole minute up there? That's too long!
See my close call with the Elite? I thought I was going to die so I attempted to Sprint away, surprised when it worked.

I think the biggest problem I have with Mythic isn't the difficulty but rather the blind skull. you know I can't aim worth a darn which caused me to spend almost 30 mintutes o the first part of the package.

It gets easier with practice. I actually do better without the HUD now, which kind of sucks when I play MM...

Might be intersting to try, but using the Falcon inside seems easier, and less risky. Plus you don't need to have done another building first to get the jetpack.
