Next time rather than fight the Elites up top of the oil station, just take the catwalks and bypass them. I have no idea why I wanted to kill those two Elites so badly. We should have just skipped it.Dani said:
If I have time later tonight I'd be willing to go again. Maybe we can get Ivan to do it with us.
If you kill a civilian, the game kills you in return. Combined with poor AI, they're a walking hazard; they've ended several attempted flawless cowboy runs of mine. (Once when a lady strolled over to a plasma grenade I'd thrown.) It's one of those design decisions that rears its head every now and then, but it drives me nuts.Shake Appeal said:
Four player LASO encounters get pretty bonkers, I'm expecting some incidents is all.
That tour is great. I wonder if it's from the Make a Wish Foundation or something like it.

I was wondering why you were so determined. I thought maybe they were important or would chase us or something. Hah.
Bummed I dropped after we finally got to the on-rails section by getting a checkpoint at the final AA gun/Hunter massacre after repeating it a dozen or so times. Despite the repeated encounters due to easy deaths, it's easily been my favourite run so far.

I think it was because I thought it'd be faster and safer than the catwalks.Dani said:
I'm pretty sure it was a Make-A-Wish dealie.Hey You said:

Heh. It's only hard if you try to do it as fast as RC Master does it. I was fine when I stopped at the railing, and looked where I was jumping.Willeth said:

The LASO challenges are my favorite so far. I watched RC's video but still have to fight many battles he skipped over. Combine that with running it solo and it's just insane. I finally made it to the beams under the cat walk and fell off There's still quite a ways to go after that, too. Hopefully I'll be able to try again tonight.

Pardon my ignorance, but...what?!?!
Yeah I couldn't do it. Every time I killed the turret, enough shots were already in the air to kill him. And toward the end I was able to take it out before the engine drew it by just aiming at the right spot. I'd take it out, then watch the line of five shots or so drift toward the Falcon and toast it.Nutter said:
I'm guessing this is where the 'don't shoot' strategy comes into play.

I can't say they've ever been a problem for me (I only knew they killed you because a co-op buddy dared me to shoot one) but I've probably run through Campaign a lot less than you have.GhaleonEB said:

Video rendering for Unearthed has come online at bungie.net, so I can post a couple of videos I snagged over the weekend.
The first is about the Rocket Hog, which I have ranted about before. This is the video accompaniment to that rant. My driver was very good. I'm a decent shot. Watch as we try to kill four Elites for three minutes, and note how they eventually went down. My (excellent) driver got so exasperated he took things into his own hands. I try not to use phrases like "I don't know how this got past test", as that's a level of snark that's kind of mean. But I don't know how that got past test. I'd happily download a new map if it had a regular Warthog on it. I find the decision to make the Rocket Hog the only vehicle on the map inexplicable.
On a more positive note, here's a long clip of Unearthed kicking my ass. And I do mean that as a positive note: the map is hard when played on foot, and I love it. In the video, plan A was to splatter guys. I go from hero to zero in about four seconds. Plan B is to snag a Plasma Pistol. Note what happens when I try snag it (that is the sound of many guns sayin, no you cannot have a plasma pistol). The third is to hold up with the rest of the team. And then they show up.
The very end of the video couldn't be more poetic.

For the lulz. Basically. That's why HLG does it, and not gonna lie, I laughed hard at some of their videos.Louis Wu said:

Thanks to RC's video I completed the weekly in about 40 minutes and even though I did it the 'cheap' way it still opened my eyes to a ton of tricks. It was a lot of fun considering the way I did it.

Is anyone using the new IE9 (64bit)? and can you watch Bungie videos on it? Mine says install silverlight and when I do it says this version is already installed...

Louis Wu said:Wow. I just realized the best chance I had of finishing the Pink Mist challenge was to play 10 straight games of regular Score Attack. That sounded pretty dull, so I gave up.
Yeah some of the challenges are ridiculous in terms of how much grinding they involve. I cant remember how much that challenge is worth, but 1 game of BTB will probably earn you more lol.
