KOTH Isolation

High Ground helps you to build up a lot of speed also and hopefully the sniper on the beach is scoped in when you try and ram him.

KOTH or oddball on Boundless - the ghost is replaced by a mongoose

Use the Halo 3 disc and not the ODST Mythic map pack disc. The DLC maps do not have a mongoose on them but the disc maps as above do.

Also on Isolation, that's where i got it. Take your time and be patient.

I run Skirmish!!!

i like the high ground method, driving from the base down to the beach sets up for a good mowdown

The tail whip seems a good technique also.

I almost got someone when their sheilds were down, but some guy stole my kill.

Go into Rumble Pit with some friends and just dick around. You will get it eventually.

Over 1400 Halo 3 mongoose splatters

Try not to hit people in the back that are walking away from you. Laggy games usually make it harder. Try to stay as fast as possible and then hit someone head on or hit them with the side of your mongoose. It also helps to target people who don't notice you, that makes it the easist.

Its not too hard as long as you accept that your k/d might be bad when you try this, and you just keep trying until you get it. I have over 1200 mongoose splatters on this account so you can trust me.

RIP Bungie Service Records. You shall be missed.

Here are a couple of methods:

1. (the way I got it.) Just drive up and down on High Ground and hope that someone throws a grenade and it blows it into someone. (You can watch the method here. Just be sure to watch from 1:57 - 2:19)

2. On any map, if you see two people fighting each other, just charge in and finish them off with a full force splatter.
