The "Nice Arm" trick works just as well & a bit faster on "Long Night of Solace", mission start.
You have to kill off everyone on the hill just before the base. Then go up the hill, wait for the drop-ship to come in, and right as it's dumping out the enemies, toss a grenade down the beach in their direction, and walk backwards over the checkpoint mark (which you should be directly in front of before throwing the grenade). That way, you can get the checkpoint JUST before the grenade goes off. And if you aimed well enough (it takes practice and quite a few tries), you can get an overkill, or a killtacular if you're lucky. Then, revert to last save, repeat.
It's far trickier to do, but I've done it once. I never continued to farm it though. I will try again tomorrow, however, and see how well it works.
It also works, unlike the Nightfall way, towards Cannon Fodder, AND SpecOps (I believe), AND Walking Tank,
AND Leadership Element (if you're lucky).
You can achieve the same effect with stealing the Marine's rocket launcher, firing it, and walking backwards over the checkpoint before the rocket hits. It doesn't get as many kills as the ONI Sword Base trick with the target locator, but the time you save by not having to walk from behind the pillar on ONI, charging the locator, waiting for the missiles, etc., makes up for it. You can get 15-18 kills in a matter of 3 seconds, rather than 10-15 seconds.
