Wait, I'm confused. Why isn't anyone else having problems with the plasma pistol? That's not fair!
Oh, it still took a plasma pistol each to down their sheilds; 3 shots. Plus I had to try and time it while they were distracted with Jorge and Carter, preferably while they were throwing a grenade or just after they had jumped. They're tricky bastards.
I had a go at Long Night of Solace with 11 skulls (no iron, no blind) to see what it was like. The beach is simple. In space, it just takes a tad longer to kill seraphs with your missiles once their shields are down. Didn't notice any other major differences. Just watch your shields and take cover behind a space-station/ship to let them recharge and you'll be fine.
But inside the corvette? oh god. ooooh GAWD! So many elites! Rangers are relatively ok, but the Ultra's just kill you over and over. And it takes an age to get their shields down. Plus there are a couple of Elites with Focus rifles in the hanger; ridiculously hard to down! Then you get the big one at the end; in the hanger again, once you've delt with the bridge. IN-SANE. So difficult. It took me around 20 minutes to get to the corvette, taking a nice, leisurely route. Then I spent the next 2 hours in the Corvette, fighting tooth and nail just to down 1 elite.
Either you're gonna have to get really comfortable with downing ultra after ultra, or we're gonna have to think up something special...
