Re: claify a few things please

In Response To: claify a few things please (f00dfight)

: i want to try this out on my xbox so i had a few questions before i start?

: 1) do i need a modded xbox?

Absolutely not, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. ;)

: 2) in the video you haven't blown up all 4 of those engine things yet(looks
: like you only blew 2 of them). so, if you get to the point of no
: projectiles how do you blow up the last 2 and kill the guys on the
: elevator?

There's definitely a trick to that. You know you're done overloading when A. Flood begin to spawn with no weapons (this will not happen every time, but you will begin to see it), B. The sentinals are very slow to spawn, and C. You, the flood and the sentinals have no projectiles.

Then I run back to the armory and reload on shotgun shells and RL ammo. When the ammo boxes disappear (they disappear when you grab em) that leaves the game just enough room to allow you to fire (barely). Then go blow the last ventcores and you're done.

Actually, I found that when I started my final run in the hog, there were four grunts outside the entrance to the 'hog room'. I had to kill those grunts or E419 and the banshees would not spawn. So, I had it right on the edge. The first couple of runs I panicked because I had no E419 and no banshees. After I started whacking the grunts though, all good. 8)

: 3) approx how long did it take running around to gather that many weapons?

About 5 hours of doing nothing but that. Ya I know, what a freak.

: 4) if you hit a checkpoint and save, then turn off your xbox and reload will
: the weapons stay or disappear? in other words, does this have to be done
: in one sitting or can you spread it over a few separate hours?

You can indeed get a checkpoint and come back to it. Actually, I usually get a checkpoint after I blow the first ventcore. I ended up getting two checkpoints in there.

: thanks, and awesome job :)

Thank you.
