It's really fun to try this, kinda awesome.Awesome, yes. Fun, no.
LASO (all skulls except Blind) is alright, as well as a segmented effort, but Blind skull is the problem with SLASO (single segment).
It snatches all my confidence away (and likely anyone who dares to try it). It's not the loss of reticle, the loss of grenade count and type, the loss of weapon info, or even the invisible, omniscient (which I condemn in Reach) enemies, but it's the loss of the shield bar that makes me regret every attempting SLASO.
I'd give anything for a Blind skull that didn't take away the shield meter. I tried Uprising, Oracle, and CS today and I failed all of them. I never get past the elevator part on Oracle. Uprising is too random and it's excruciatingly difficult to get into the next room. And for CS, I can't get past the next room and Johnson disappears too much.
So I give up. I was out of my mind thinking about re-doing it. I'm just going to mod the plasma pistol and pistol on CS and play with some skulls on.
Johnson disappears too much? Hmm, I had a strategy lined up for that Cairo (bring Johnson as far as possible and use him as bait to distract the Covies) but if that's the case, I may need to rethink it.
Anyways, a few final questions about SLASO, I'm assuming the Perma Camo is out of the question? Are you allowed to use "Shortcuts" i.e the rooftops of Outskirts or using a Ghost to get higher out of the map? Or does it have to be a solid run with no tricks?Survive anyway you can. If it were a real war, using rooftops or bypassing certain fights is part of the strategy.
If a guy does stay on street level and bypasses nothing, then he would be considered a god. On the 2 levels I finished I never fired a shot, to stop and fire once meant certain death for me.
