I'm going to try to bring 8 Elites + 1 Arby to the Citadel for the War Chieftain battle. I can get an additional 2 Elites later. I tested it last night and it worked.

I'm going to either give Arby the machine gun turret or let him keep his sword.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Depends. If you are talking about Halo: Reach's elites all the weapons look awesome when they hold them. If you are talking about Halo 3's, none.

Halo 3 of course. I wouldn't have put that none if it was Reach Elites. I may not like how they look, but I agree that they look awesome when they hold them.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

I think all Covenant weapons that the Elites hold looks awesome, except the Gravity Hammer though.

Exactly why I didn't mention the hammer.

Since there has only been 1 vote for Carbine/Beam Rifle, I've gone with that (4 beam rifles would be murder against the Chieftain though so I've gone with Carbines). But I have a backup game save in the event that someone recommends another weapon and provides a good reason for equipping them with it.

sword all the way

It's a tie between Carbines and Energy Swords.

Carbines/beam rifles will undoubtedly destroy the War Chieftain but swords will allow my 7 Elites to tackle 20 Brutes. Which one should I go with or should I have 2 separate game saves featuring both?

The pancakes have broken the perimeters of the Castle and the Duke of Crepes has allied with us. For Glory, For Honor, FOR WAFFLES!!!

Maybe half and half. Just a thought

"Get up and i shall kill you, Again and again!"

"Star Wars is the greatest thing since oxygen, possibly greater.

and any elite with with the gravity hammer.

Just your average nice guy playing video games here in there. Been playing Halo since Halo 2. Hope to play Halo: CE.

Anyways, love everyone.

Energy Sword.

The elites weapon of choice.

I have 7 Elites. I can't divide that evenly. :/ Unless I give one the Beam Rifle.

Maybe 6 Elites, 1 Arby. 3 Swords, 3 Beam Rifles, Arby is whatever u want. You can either kill the last elite, or just put him somewhere he cant get out of.

I could work with that. I should have put the Carbine and Beam Rifle choices separately... Well I'll be giving Arby the machine gun turret or the rocket launcher.

So you mean like arrange a nice gift for him? Then again, I could just remake Floodgate's Shadow of Intent and put him next to Arby (on a rock) where he can't charge with a sword.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

2 with plasma rifles, 2 with carbines, 1 with a beam rifle, 1 with a Fuel rod and one with a sword.

Arby gets machine gun turret.

Damn, that makes one hell of a team. I like it! I'll have to reequip them then. :(

Tell ya guys what, I'll make multiple game saves and videos featuring each of them: 1 with beam rifle and sword elites, 1 with team equipment, and 1 with brute weapons. I'm at the rally point bravo starting point atm and it won't be too long before I have all of these assembled.

Edit: Brute weapons and/or human weapons if there's enough votes. There may not be enough Brute weapons at my current checkpoint but I have plenty of human weapons.

And that's why I do this.

I 100% agree.

Just a hour and 30 minutes ago, I made one major mistake that cost me 30 minutes and suffered several mess ups (because friendly AI are so terrible) during the procedure that I don't want to bring the Elites and marines to the snow area again.



So I got the tutorial footage and I'll post it by the end of today. :-) And then I'm going to take a break to recuperate from the AI idiocy and frustrations that I experienced.

My difficulty rating for this collection: 9/10

You have to go by procedure. Friendly AI drivers should have never existed and the checkpoint system is outdated and horrible; it's disgusting. This collection takes at least 20 minutes and you don't get any checkpoints so you have to be near perfect to successfully complete it.

Given the sword's popularity, I'll have to risk insanity (again) so I can get 7 sword Elites. But that's all I'm going to bring (besides Arby) because marines are a pain in the ass.

On a side note, I'm going to work on the tutorial now, using AVS video editor.

Every time i try Marines, something terrible happens, and i tried your chieftain pimp-flood, AND HE IMMEDIATELY DESTROYED THEM

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I don't think any of them do, to be honest.
