In Response To: Re: Some additional info (dukemeiser) Great job with the info. I noticed the same issues while you were posting. lol Here are a few things I noticed when I did it. Sorry about the below list. It's order is a bit random. - They don't ALWAYS ignore Emile but do most of the time. So unless you do want him next to you in the cutscene, save your Cocussion ammo for completing the level later. - DON'T start the level from the start if this is all you're after. As dukemeiser said, start at Rally Point Alpha on Heroic or Legendary. To rack up points fast, do it on Legendary with all skulls on except BLIND. It's also the only one that's not a part of the LASO challenges. ;) - NEVER EVER DROP YOUR COCUSSION RIFLE!! It dissappears at loading points and a few checkpoints. - On high difficulties, it's seems best to have the Clone armor ability. It dies from shots quick but it easily buys you a distraction to get to the next cover point. It also helps draw Covies from hidding. Managed to use mine to draw a few brutes over the edge. Also got them to attack it together and thus weakining them for final blows. - Legendary or not, with most skulls on, the Covies can be a HUGE pain when you're trying to make the final jump. It's best to play a CoOp game with a phantom controller. Before you start your first jump, stay in the last hallway and use the 2nd controller with a DMR to snipe the Grunts and Jackels that start up the first ramp. Easy headshots and medal chances. Be sure to go after the Brute with the Rod Cannon. He's a dream crusher on this task. - It's fun to use the 2nd controller while on a ghost. While making your jumps, try leaving the 2nd player in the last hall driving the ghost. Makes killing the Brutes much easier. Just be careful. Some have armor lock. This also leave the door open in case you need to back track. - Also make sure your 2nd player never drops the sword. It's near vital to take down the more powerful Brutes. - Unlike Multiplayer, the Grenade Launcher is your friend on Legendary. Makes short work of Covie that are at a distance. - If possible, have player two also have a concussion rifle. This way he/she can take extra ammo up to player one. Just kill Player 2 with the concussion rifle to get ammo. - Playing in Co-Op really helps when you want to draw in more Phantoms to the party. It also draws in more power Covies be step slow and steady to win this race on LASO. Best not to have tough luck on in Co-Op. - Saving and Quiting both ends your strike and restarts your point count. Only do it at the when you make your first checkpoint or do want to quit for good. - In Co-Op mode, players do spawn next to their friend on the gun platform. So if you're mostly have the Invincible medal, then jump off the side if the other player is also on the plateform. Best yet, have him kill you so you can keep your guns. - When you've decided to complete the level and activated the Elites in the nearby room, GET OUT of the cannon. The elite with the Fuel Rod gun will take you down easily. Instead use the cannon as shelter. Or if fast enough, use player two as bait to distract him. Your clone helps a TON in this area. Makes it very easy to finish them all off without firing one single shot. Bait and Assassinate, Baby! - Lastly, don't go into this thinking it'll be a short trip to the famous medal (1,000 kills without dieing). It takes a VERY VERY VERY VERY long time. Shorter if you go co-op and have player two distract for you. This also help with completeing a level on Legendary without dieing. There are few targets and takes a while for them to respawn after each cycle. Banshees count as two kills (never a double skill tough) and phantoms count as one. It's a pain but there you have it. I have up before making it to 400. :(
