[360] Halo 3: ODST

[AlNom]

Welp, after a few hours of checking with the map guide and walking around... finally! It was some terminal in a backroom somewhere in south end.

Gosh, legendary is tricky.

Spoiler

The ONI building defense

just before entering it feels like that bunker part in Halo 3. argh

 

[NRP]

The 9th level (Coastal Highway) on solo Legendary is worse. Only frustrating part of the entire game. Goddamn escort mission.

 

[AlNom]

I am definitely gonna take awhile with Legendary. Maybe that's what I'll do while the lot of you are busy with Call of Duty.

Anyhoo... just noticed something:

 

[AzBat]

I'm needing achievments & would like to try my hand at legendary in Co-Op. Anybody want to help team up?

[NRP]

Sure. I'm gonna try to play some Firefight tonight, but after that I can blast through a couple of levels with you.

 

[NRP]

AFAIK, there are no banshees to fly in Firefight, right?

Actually, one Firefight map does have a Banshee on it. An enemy is flying it, so you have to jack it, but after that, it's all good.

 

[AlNom]

Fear teh banshee

I'll be online tonight for a bit too.

 

[RobertR1]

Good firefight round tonight guys! Sorry AZ. You caught us half way and it just never ended

Thats OK. Al came through with Co-op on Legendary. 2-player was fun but tough, I bet it's much better with 4-player. Anyway, I got a few achevos thanks man!

Good shootin guys. Hammer kills ftw. I think I got some big bonus points from the two killionaires and the 166 beat downs in that map. XD

I'd definitely like to check out 4p co-op sometime too. Probably goes by a lot quicker sans skulls though.

 

[NRP]

I had to laugh when all three of us attacked that Hunter inside the building. I think we all had hammers, and we were knocking that thing all over the room. It was like battling practice. LOL!

Increased physics impulse Skull ftw!

The grunt dialog was cracking me up too. "Oh god! He still has a hammer!"

I am definitely gonna take awhile with Legendary. Maybe that's what I'll do while the lot of you are busy with Call of Duty.

Anyhoo... just noticed something:

Is that Master Chief and crew?

 

[AlNom]

Yup, Amber in Clad.

Anyone up trying for the VidMaster Deja-Vu achievement this upcoming weekend? That's a 4 Player Co-Op Legendary with Iron Skull game on the Highway level without using a Warthog or Scorpion; you're running around on 2 Mongoose with 4 Rocket launchers each with 997 rounds.

Another fun one to try for is the VidMaster Endure achievement (4 player Heroic firefight pass the 4th set). The best map for that seems to be inside of Alpha Site with 2 players on a side near the spawn point, catching the enemies in the crossfire in the middle of the room. The bonus round seems easy to pickup, just fire some rockets or fuel-rods into the ducts and/or go to town with a Hammer. A close second map for this is Lost platoon.

 

[AlNom]

wtf...brit? Count me in!

Anyone going to be online late tonight

 

[RobertR1]

I'll be on soon. Like 5:45 or 6.

 

[AlNom]

I may be quite late.

 

[AlNom]

Some good firefightin' tonight NRP. Just a few more maps... Easy seems quite doable on solo though. Patience... patience..

Brit... Can't believe I missed out on the vid master achievement there. Though I still need to do the legendary campaign... Azbat & Rob &... NRP?

 

[AzBat]

Rancid was asking for help on Crackdown Saturday while I was out of town. Told him I was free tonight. If I don't hear from him, I'll be up for some campaign.

AlStrong, sorry about the one guy flaking out on us Friday. I'm game for doing the VidMaster Deja-Vu achievement again for whoever wants to go for it. Also, up for helping out on the 200K scores too. That is easily doable with 2 players on easy; normal is getting easier too. Perhaps the nastiest experience we had was on the "Chasm Ten" map where there's an Engineer or two, but using an overloaded plasma pistol twice on them makes for a quick dispatch.

The next few days may be grinding out some Gears 1 achievements, but we'll be open for ODST. As always, just join the party to see what's up.
