I'm confused. Did you mean to say the TF2 goes back to normal on November 9th? I thought it ended on November 1st! This is awesome!
Ah, my bad. I went to last years page, thinking it was this years. Then it was nov 9th. This years, ends on Nov 8th it seems.
I just learned the hard way on The Package that the wraith gunner has a wider field of fire on his left side, then on the right.
Thats... weird.

Nice job! I think this may be the fastest POA run so far!
Mine is faster :D
Gamestats.
Beat me by a whole three minutes, well done.
Sensing hostility.... Should I have added a ":P" instead?
Hostility? Not at all :D
I don't care about times (yet), was just focusing on finishing.
Ok good :) Tones are hard to communicate just in text and I misread it as sarcastic. Nevermind :)

If the legitimacy of my conqueror claim is called into question when (yes, when) I beat Pillar, I'll be more than happy to post the video.
You'll have to. Thats what we're requiring ATM. As far as I know, a picture of the very first cutscene linked to your stats would be sufficient, but when you have that in your fileshare, you might as well fill the slot with the film instead. Even more solid proof.

Yes, I'm using my competitor's video to beat him to a place on the conqueror's board. Feel free to use mine, RC Master.
Lol. Already watched it. Besides, its us against the game, not each other (unless we're going for speedruns or high scores them maybe :P)
I had a go at LNoS; ran up the side of the beach instead of fighting after the first attempt I went lunging past the Elite I intended to melee to the Elite standing in front of him and ended up getting assassinated. I managed to immelman turn into the corvette and get myself killed in the sabre, then when I got to the comms room... yeah, not happening.
Oh, yeah, one thing I did find, which totally sucks balls, was a teleporting wall on LNoS. I found a way to use one of those little one-man barricades to jump onto the exterior wall of the facility near the Wraith drop and then into the facility though the hole in the wall that the rocket marines use. BUT, if you try getting up there before the normal way in is opened (the one and only door) you're teleported back down onto the beach. It really annoyed me because it could have cut off a minute or two of what is basically waiting around for Noble team.

Did I mention you are also invulnerable while doing it?
Here you go.
Queued.

To AuraSoldier, Legendary smile, jew man man, and anyone else who has beaten POA: How the HELL is this level not as bad as LNOS? At least at the standoff at the end of LNOS, you had a few decent places to take cover with an ample amount of ammo. RC Master spent the entire landing pad section shooting through a hole in a flimsy piece of sheet metal while coming close to death SO many times. Let's not even talk about the Zealots at the end. I got intimidated by the level by WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE PLAY. That's never happened to me.
Lol, its not as dangerous as it looks. That 'flimsy' piece of sheet metal is actually as strong as Forerunner Pine (and Forereunner pine trees are invincible :P)
I was way more scared of dying to the FRG chieftain than anything else in the level. As long as you don't stand to close to the edge of the platform, and far enough away from the back wall, you'll be fine from splash damage.

Speaking of New Alexandria, I haven't really seen any videos of anyone yet, and that is the next mission on my list right after I finish Package, but I was just wondering if anyone has found this-
On the tower where you have to go and take down the jammer that is in Reflection, and the buggers come down, you can fly your falcon behind the building, and through some bars, and skip all those tiers of enemies, and go straight to the elevator. I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not. Perhaps I'll go record a vid as after reading my explanation, it seems very vague.
Lol, that was one of the first things I discovered. See page 15 for my guide
Speaking of New Alexandria; I went back and found a couple more objectives I hadn't noted down before. The one with the Elites and Engineers, and the Destroy the Phantom one with Buck. I'll update my post on page 12 when I can retrieve said note from a currently internet-less computer.

Speaking of them, once again, I found no good strategy for beating them. I killed one with a plasma rifle right in front of the door, but that's only because I could dodge his shots and fire my plasma pistol quickly and accurately. The Fuel Rod Cannon Zealot is too jumpy and won't stay still when I shoot him. Any suggestions?
Staircase and fence PPing not working for you? It takes a fair few seconds for their shields to recharge so as long as you keep landing hits, its ok if they dodge a lot.
I don't know if anyone knows about it, but it is possible to get past the four apocalypse elites and get straight to the mass driver by jumping on the beams like in RC Master's video. If someone could find somewhere to hide from both the elites and the phantoms, it would make that part a whole lot easier. More testing is needed; I accidentally restarted the level when I was trying to revert to last checkpoint.
That was one of my plans: to skip past the 3 zealots. But, to be able to get to the mass driver, you need to have forced the Elites to retreat, and then the Field Marshall will be right under the mass driver and own you in a second. So you'd need to take him out at least, and the Zealots will still ping you a bit, and I found it relatively easy to take them out away, and it made it so I could be sure I had 100% shields before the mass driver with them all dead. Pretty sure I said all this when i was talking through my run...
Also, how many mass driver hits does it take to take down the carrier? Is it one or two?Its two. Thats what the Mythic Skull does to the carrier. Both my shots were aimed in the exact same place.
