Ever wanted twelve marines at the start of the covenant? Scrap the twelve, nine, easy marines? Heres a collection guide.

(Pilots, really hard, takes time, optional)

M1- Achieved by flipping over the pelican that drops off a mongoose and warthog at the start of the mission, you will recieve an unarmed pilot.

M2- Achieved by flipping over the hornet that flies around near the beach at the start of the mission, you will recieve an unarmed pilot.

(You can obtain ODST's and/or Marines, easy, simple)

M3, M4, M5- ODST's from the start of the level/ or, kill the ODST and the first pelican drop off three marine replacments.

M6- Will be inside the pelican driving the mongoose, he will spawn regardless of the ODST's dying or not.

M7, M8- After keeping all marines at the beach (where they get dropped off) after heading back down the lift two additional marines will appear in the tower.

M9- (Be sure you have destroyed the warthog at the beach) A troop transport warthog will arrive with an additional marine after leaving the towers entrance.

(Pilots, easy, simple, scripted)

M10, M11- Standing infront of the hornets at the beach.

M12- If you destroy the two hornets on the ground the hovering one above will land and the pilot will come out with no weapon.

I have managed to get ten as I couldnt be bothered flipping the hornet and pelican. Sadly, theres only enough room for five of the twelve to get in the hornets.

Incredible! You don't mind if I share this thread with someone? He specializes in this kind of thing.

I think it is possible to bring more of them to the third tower if one manages this.

Oh and you can disarm the Grunts in the tower by killing a Brute Ultra. Turn on Thunderstorm, Tough Luck, and Mythic. If they collide into you, they'll survive. You could potentially get the unarmed marines next to the unarmed Grunts.

I tryed air-hog, It dropped near the tower because my pilot did not want to land near the ground. I am experimenting spawns on co-op, sadly I tryed a few methods on solo but never get anywhere....I also tryed dropping marines off on mountains and moving ahead as the invisible walls close in, but there is not enough cliffs to drop off until the barrier comes in and you cant go back...:(

"If something is easy, broken, cheap or can be abused, majority of the population will support it as a legit and or skilled concept/idea. Whatever people like and or love, they will thrive on it because no matter how broken it maybe, they do not like change."

Interesting...

Thanks. Sure.

More half Flood Elite footage coming soon. He fights against Arbiter, Guilty Spark, the Separatist Phantom, Scarabs, War Chieftains (who double team him), marines, marine controlled Wraith, Hornets, and Gauss Warthog. Absolute chaos.

I could only get 16 piloted Hornets. I used to able to get more.

Anyways, I'm aware of that. I saw some of the screenshots before they got replaced.

You can control where the Grunts go using trigger points.

Will it work if no one's in the Warthog's driver seat?

If I destroy a hornet and fly, only once I pass the invisible barrier the left over marines decide to get in the warthog but they not only just sit there, you cant go back for them.

EDIT: doesnt matter who sits where...Im not sure if the warthog dissapears or not after you exit the tower as well the hornets though, so it most likely does so that sucks.
