The team mates turning on you would be good game design; because they don't, it's bad game design.


Logically, this doesn't work. You're assuming that the only good design option would be to have teammates turning on you and arguing that it's bad design because that is not what happens.

I'm not disagreeing with your point that it would be better design to have your teammates turn on you rather than spontaneously combusting, just pointing out fallacious logic. File this under the same kind of thing where you cringe every time Tyrant improperly uses the word "literally."


LOL. So much for clarifying my ideas.

Well, when you isolate it like that, of course it sounds stupid. I was trying to clarify a point, this was not taken to be an argument. RC Master thought that I thought that your teammates turn on you and he also thought that I thought that that was bad game design which was the betrayal system in past Halo games. (that's what she said!).

That was confusing. The point is, I only said that to correct a misunderstanding between me and RC Master; it was not an argument (for an argument, read my post on multiplayer and feel free to pick out fallacies). I was basically saying, "This is what I think; this is NOT what I think.": I'm saying "You minunderstood me RC Master, I think it's good game design to for your teamates to seak retribution; therefore, by default, I think it's bad game design for you to drop dead." (note that I did not explain why I think this). I was not saying, "It's good game design for your teamates to turn on you. Therefore, it's bad game design for you to drop dead." because of course, if I did that, it would be begging the question.

I hope this makes a bit more sense.

And the "literally" thing is different. Tyrant is saying "literally" when he means "figuratively". He's saying one thing, when he means completely the opposite.

The elites will rush after their grunt allies die. Be warned though, as after 3/4 of the grunts have fallen the elites will rush very quickly. They will ussually come one at a time, but they will all be rather quick at rushing you. And the box will do you no good (well, a little), as the low gravity allows it to float away with very little force.

Thanks for the tips, but you didn't really answer my question.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Aside from putting the boxes down, I like to back up to the Comms room to give myself more cover. They almost seem slightly hesitant to enter which gives me more time to land those headshots.

This one:
Posted by: Remorazz
I've just cleared the comm room( thank god), but I am unsure of how to entice the enemies from the hanger into the hallway.

??

Kill the Grunts. simple as that.

The first thing you'll probably want to do after gaining access to the Hanger is to hop in to the left and take out the Engineer with a couple of quick super-combines. This'll of course make it much easier to actually kill said grunts while they're still running around in the middle of the room.

Retreat back to the hallway, and from there start taking out Grunts. A few should start wandering up the ramp towards you, but they'll never actually go into the hallway. Retreat further up the hallway and continue to ping any you can see. If the door stays open indefinitely, this means there is a grunt just off to either side. Shoot a needle rifle round at the floor near either side to make them dodge (often into you view) and take them out.

After every few are dead (I'm unsure on the exact amount) 1 of the ranger elites will rush up the hallway at you. Take him out and resume the grunt killing to make the next one arrive.

That enough? :)

Isn't it a little risky stepping outside To kill the engineer with the beam rifle elite (I have no shields)

If you hug the left wall and use your drop shield appropriately, you should be fine. Kill the fuel rod grunt, then the engineer; then you should run to the hallway.

#1 Legendary ODST Firefight Highscore

[UNINTELLIGIBLE > INSUBORDINATION(?)]

I've killed their engineer and fuel rod grunt. An elite has followed me into the comm room. I'm up on the higher level, and I've engaged in several battles using PP, but he always jumps into the hall. Jorge has asked to have the button pressed, so the gravity is back to normal. All my PP refreshes are on the lower level and the sword. My resouces are limited and my PP will deplete eventually. Tips?

F\/CK
I killed the elite and two other but a third rushed me and I ran out of needler ammo and one whack and I was dead. Have to restart AGAIN

Needler? Rangers have really weak shields and there are two full plasma pistols in the Comms room. If that's not enough, grab a plasma pistol before you enter the sabre.

I think it was Tyrant who did a controlled test and concluded that plasma pistol peppering is the most effective way to take down an elite's shields.

Ehhh... playing HALO in an underwater utopia named RAPTURE may cause a collapse in the space time continuum.

If you can't take 'em out as they're moving up the hall, retreat back and then wait to one side of the exit and ambush them as they enter the comms room. A single overcharge or some rapid-fire shots will do it quick.

If you are having trouble with that section, it may pay to practice it on regular legendary or without iron and blind on. Additionally, you may want to set up a 3rd barrier (box) at the entrance to the comms room if you're regularly getting pushed back.

I expect to be in the running soon just as soon as I beat LNoS since New Alexandria seems so easy for most of you.

Oh, and Sangelios is on PoA too.

So, like 5 of us? Lol, brutal. I'm going to hate this mission. A LOT. Tyrant, can you find a method for killing the 4 elites at the end before the Mass Driver. They alone seem to make the mission terrifying.

Pfft, you've already LNoS. IMO, that mission was way more frustrating than PoA. There are less tedious bits, less randomness, less narrow-margin-for-error bits (well, apart from mass driver :P) and more solid fighting to keep you entertained.

Haven't seen a method you like in mine, Michael's, Legendary's, Aura's or Dark's vids?

I currently have only watched Darks. He used the Holo to distract and assassinated them. Seemed insanely risky.
