Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

Anybody else who has a continous game going, i.e. a Campaign game where you just sneak through the streets and eliminate Covie groups (or slither past them)?

I've got a save game file where I have been surviving on the Mombassa Streets for about 6 total IRL hours. I'm trying to find out more about what the Engineers are up to. They're searching for the symbols, which can ironically be seen easily using the VISR mode. Not only this, but the Engineers seem extremely wary when I approach with a Sniper Rifle, but not any other weapon (even a Rocket Launcher). Could be because of Romeo's attack in the "Tayari Plaza" level...

And a Tip of the Week: Has your stealth been compromised? Find yourself a dumpster with an open lid, and jump in. You can wait it out and use the HUD's NAV map to see when your persuers have given up searching for you.

Nah. I have better things to do.

I have never done this but if I do throw ODST in, I will be sure to give it a try OP. ;)

So they go back to patrolling? Sweet!

If only M$ would put ODST on GoD...

Out of the three times I've done it, it has worked every time. Just make sure the Covies don't actually see you jump in, otherwise they wise up....

..but if they don't, they just give up after a while.

These are not the informations you are looking for. Unless you're looking for my informations.

There's definitely something mysterious about Engineers in ODST. Last year someone on another website known as SGP discovered that standing on certain pillars in those weird Stonehenge-like structures cause Engineers to move in certain ways. Nothing has been found from this, and nobody knows if there is a certain combination of pillars that will cause something.

Here's the thread with a picture showing which pillars cause which path the Engineer takes. If you're interested, I'd be happy to play a game with you and show you.

Yes! This is exactly what I do! I like using weapons I normally wouldn't in multiplayer or other campaigns. I had no idea about the dumptster thing, I'll be sure to try it!

What difficulty do you play on?

If I play on ODST, its to be a ninja in Mombasa Streets. Now I haven't tested it yet, but can you store weapons in Weapon Caches? I keep putting that to the side or I forget that I did before I just start a new game.

Heroic.

Also, anybody noticed that when you encounter the Engineers in isolated areas, they hover around you; however when approached by you when you're holding a Sniper Rifle, they screech and move away?

It seems they have a knowledge of what Romeo did to their buddy!

They do the same whenever you have a mongoose or rocket launcher, seems they are afraid of human machinery.

I have done this in the past for about 2 hours but i got bored with just killing brute patrols. If i had friends who would still play ODST i would do it but everyone plays reach now.
