Haha, that's the point. :P jk

Have you brought 3 Banshees and a Spectre to the control room blown up door? Because after you have, just go into the damaged area and get the cp. Then bring them in after defeating the Brutes and start the Tartarus battle.

On a side note, what I didn't mention is that once you get about 20-30 Councilors, it becomes more difficult to get Councilors.

It also starts getting buggy. I had at least 30 Councilors yesterday before my movement controls bugged and I moved backwards when I wanted to go forward... off the moving platform!!! :(:(:(

I'm not a technician, but vista really bugs out when their is alot of movement, even in MP. I have a hunch it might be better on an Xbox. Though a fan would be useful.

True, H2 Vista is horribly buggy. You have a good point there.

Yeah a fan might be necessary. Maybe even 2. I know that the Xbox 360 can function as a heater during winter time. D:

Here's some info that might or might not apply to the Xbox.

It takes about 1-3 minutes to set the stage for collection if you just do the basic requirements: 3 Banshees, 1 Spectre. Otherwise, with Wraith, 4 Hunters, the Elites from the beginning, and the marines, it takes about 20 minutes.

It takes 30-60 minutes to get 20 Councilors with the platform method after which it gets tougher to get Councilors. But if you don't care about which Elites you have, then you can easily get around 40 Elites in 30-60 minutes.

How I brought 4 Hunters and 3 Banshees to the control room

Now that most of the glitch is revealed, I want to see what you guys can do with the Elite army since I suck at it/have bad luck with it. I'm always falling to my death or getting killed in the most ridiculous ways.

I'd say 20 Councilors is a good starter collection. See if you can get that many within 60 minutes.

To get Elites to spawn, simply go on the moving platform (not the one that Keyes is on, because she's a hazard when it comes to jumping) and go around the area at least 2 times.

Make sure you have first put the Spectre where the door was (the one where the Brutes came from) and block the path to Tartarus with 2 Banshees.

After getting 1 or more waves of Elites to spawn,

1. melee the Councilors that haven't lost their interest to the right side (where I lined up my Councilors in those videos), but not all the way to the wall or they might run back to the center group
2. get in the left blockade Banshee and make the other Elites (Zealot, Spec Ops Elites) dive off then place the Banshee back
3. melee the Councilors towards the Spectre (again, doesn't have to all the way) and get in the driver's seat. Then get them out of the seats. Melee them away from the Spectre then allow them to run to the Spectre. Do this 2-3 more times and they should stop running to the Spectre. Then move them to where I lined them up.

To arm them with swords, just take them from the Zealots.

Of course, I have yet to show how to unite the 4 Hunters and how to retain them after the cutscene as well as ensuring they won't disappear later. I'll get to that.
