Lol, that was great. I had an 18 Marine collection in Outskirts but they were pretty cool, they all charged down the tunnel in Legendary and absolutely slaughtered the covies. I didn't have to fire a shot so it was fun filming that one. Then I let them have 6 Hogs and they were like the 18 stooges, it was hilarious.
Awesome collection pal.And that's why Halo 2 is a much better game.
You can't imagine how much those Brute Prowler drivers gave me trouble when they fell to their deaths or how persistent the marines where when they tried to get in my hog.
But the worst part is, there's only one machine gun turret and the only way to get it is to destroy the previous Warthog. But doing that means I'll have to deal with friendly AI and the Prowler Brutes. So I used the Scorpion to block the Warthog. But that means I couldn't get a marine that spawns if the tank is empty and I wouldn't be able to get the Prowlers because I have to intercept the hog.
Tldr: It was a pain in the ass. I had to make choices. I have to push and do all the work. It's unbearable and finishing it was very relieving. As soon as I get the tutorial up, I'll be playing Halo 2 primarily. :D
You can actually get 26-28 marines but you would only have 3-6 Brutes (including a War Chieftain) to fight because the rest get killed off by the game. To further complicate things, the game spawns 3 gauss warthogs that present a great threat to the Brutes so after you get a checkpoint you have to trigger a loading point to remove all vehicles. There's also 2 Hornets who desperately try to stay away from you to the point of suicide.
Tldr 2: Halo 3 was the beginning of the end
But there is one potential way to get maximum pleasure/enjoyment. Half Flood Elite. You could block all the marines and Elites, get 1 Elite on the hog, drive him to where the Brutes are, and get him half infected but that would be a very, very small window for this to be successful because there's only 1 checkpoint available at that point and messing up means 20+ minutes were wasted.
Tldr 3: When will Halo's checkpoint system be refined? It was ok in CE, great in H2 but too scarce or too plentiful in H3.
So yeah, I have quit Halo 3 in favor of Halo 2. Too many things have crushed my dedication.
But here's another clip. It shows potential battling + Elites intercepting the Brutes.
Although it is quite difficult to get all the marines down (you could do it with a Brute Shot though), it is possible to get them all shooting at the Brutes from above.
Lots of variety makes it a spectacular fireworks (laser, rocket launcher, 12+ fuel rod guns, Elites with brute shots (potentially)).
Furthermore, you don't have to destroy all vehicles. You could potentially have piloted Gauss Warthog, Wraith, Scorpion, up to 3 Prowlers, and up to 4 Ghosts. Total domination, especially if marines have 12+ fuel rod guns. Anyways, I've configured my channel to feature Halo 2. But I will finish uploading my Halo 3 discoveries but to that I must go to The Covenant one last time.
And thanks! I take pride in my work.
