Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!
New Alexandria done!
I even uploaded a few screenshots and am keeping a couple of them (shots of me in the mission start and end cutscenes) in my fileshare by way of proof. At least until I upload my film :)
I've got a fairly solid strategy for the level now, with a few nice tricks here and there of my own creation. I've also got a bunch of navigational data down (oh the research, oh the PAIN! :P) that'll help people find their way around without the waypoints. Which you can either wait for, until I've got a few more levels done, or you can forge ahead and aquire this knowledge for yourself! :)
Oh, I also rendered my little weird clip assassinating the Concussion Rifle Zealot early on Winter Contingency so you guys don't have do download it if you don't feel like it. HERE.
I'm not sure how replicable it is, but I think everyone should at least give it a go during their attempts as it makes the last room a lot easier.

I saved the target locator and snuck by them to the right at that point. If you go a little further to the right, you can sneak up on a grunt/elite in a ghost facing away from you and board him. Just my two cents.
Hmm, first time I tried that, the Ghost spotted me... maybe I'll try being a little more cautious next time. Thanks for the tip though.

I refuse to use Blind.
I kinda hate Blind too. It'd be a lot less obnoxious if it simply stripped your HUD and just gave you a basic dot as your reticle. I mean, you can see your feet still! Not seeing your arms and the weapon in them is stupid. Its a horrible relic from the Halo 2 days where it actually had a use: making hudless films and taking screenshots with capture equipment. These days, with theatre, that use is obsolete, and its just a pain.
In active protest, I have a little triangle of blu-tack stuck to my screen for the weapon reticle, and a dot slightly above it for the vehicle one. Solves one problem. Then you just have to listen for the sound queues to know what weapon you're holding.
EDIT: Lol. After all that playing of New Alexandria, for fun, for research, for commendations, for Mythic, the Falcon is now my Tool of Destruction. :P
