Just go for it. Perserverance is key.

Stay back and try to let whoever is with you do most of the work (though marines will die fast so......). If you find a needle rifle, take it. You can easily 3 shot brutes for a supercombine. And elites are annoying, don't let them get close to you unless you're sure a beatdown will kill them.

I'm on the 7th level and so far I've not really found any problems. It usually takes about an hour a level and yes you will die a lot but not because it's hard per say, mostly because you'll make stupid mistakes or the computer will get a lucky grenade throw.

Tips for the 5th level will be shoot the Elite Zealot from a distance with a DRM/Needle Rifle, he wont run away if you do. I found that out by accident just shooting him thinking he was a regular Elite. Keep your rocket Warthog alive, it wont be hard if you drive and let Kat shoot. When you come to the bridge bit where you can't take your Warthog any further just bombard the building with tons and tons of rockets until all the bad guys on both floors are dead.

There's a Revenant after that I think, just get in that and the rest of the mission will be a breeze, it takes 17 or so Revenant bullets to kill a Hunter.

Also at the end highjack a Banshee, fly it to the top of the Spire, land it and get the Elites attention then run away, the Elite will get in the Banshee and you can easily highjack it again to take him down easily.

Can you give me any tips/points/help? Which mission(s) where the most difficult?

Which one are you missing?
Buy an item requiring Lt. Col.

I can certainly try; where are you stuck?

Needle Rifle is your best friend. 3 shots on a Brute=death. 4+ for chieftains and more for chieftains with shields.

Noob combo/plasma pistol/weapon+headshot weapon is your best friend for Elites.

Take your time. Let your 'hired help' do most of the work. Avoid 'death traps', ie, big open spaces, that tempting vehicle, and rushing.

Ah, well play enough and you'll have 49/49 achievements in no time! :)

Well, not yet. Haven't started, I'll post here asking for help if I'm ever stumped. (Which I will be)

Thanks for the tip! I agree, it works wonders. I used it against the elite with the sword on top of that spire tower mission.

They do stuff? I didn't think they actually killed enemies...thanks again for the tips! I really appreciate it man!

I did todays challenges, they were pretty easy. And I'm glad to see that October's playlist update is finally out!

Btw good games today, smashman90! :)
Yeah, it was fun when I was splattering the hell out of everybody during that Stockpile on Spire match. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=172270302&player=JHaas90

I'm kinda digging the Grenadier helmet now that I bought the first attachment. I think I might keep it this way: http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/playermodel.ashx?rpis=IrDeSAJFJVRcIPEJf8UK4A==

Either that or I'll switch back to my ODST helmet.

My turtle beaches have served me pretty well up to this point. Only complaint I have is that they kind of hurt my ears no matter how I adjust them. But aside from that, they're great.

I haven't ever owned a tritton personally, but I've heard they're nice. Try getting input from someone with turtle beaches and someone with trittons if possible.

People really need to stop trying to betray you.

For example, today when smashman90 and I played multi-flag CTF on hemorrhage, I noticed the change where they replaced the scorpion rank with the wraith. So I got into the ghost and a fellow teammate started shooting at me and got me down to like 2-3 bars of health.

Then later on, I grabbed the sniper rifle and some guy near me started shooting at me cause he wanted it. =/

I know that they (Bungie) now care if you lower your teammates shields/health on purpose. So it'll soon come back to bite them in the butt.

Hmm, I think I'm gonna go BoB hunting this weekend. They're fun to find. BoBs are golden Elite Rangers that normally don't attack. They're scattered throughout campaign. It's been confirmed that there is a Legendary ending. I think the BoBs maybe connected to getting this ending.

I'm looking into buying a new HeadSet.

I have about 80 dollars to spend; so should I get Tritton AX180s or Turtle Beach X11s?

I love my X11's. <3 so **** much.

They're invisible. There should be one at the bottom of the hill at the beginning of the first mission. They usually try to run away from you if you walk close to them.

They're invisible? And the camo elite in the first mission is not a bob. He just shows up on legendary difficulty and drops a data pad when killed.

Sorry about that, I assumed that elite was one of them because that was the only elite I found that didn't attack me. I'll make sure to look up my information before informing next time.

Nah it's fine. I've seen a number of people say the camo elite is a Bob so it's understandable.

Bobs. They must die. All of them. WHO'S WITH ME!?!?!?!?

Alrighty, I've made my decision.

I'm gonna get the AX180s due to the simple fact that they can be used on the PS3, PC, and Xb360.

I heard that they were rather small, but my Ears aren't that big. I should be getting them tommorow.

Anyone down for arena or Swat or something tomorrow?

Trust me, I know the feeling. None of them talk so you have no idea where they got killed from, resulting in a lot of assassinations and such, and they usually can't aim to save their lives.

Today is kind of busy for me. I have a class from 3-6 then I've gotta work on a project afterwards, so I donno how much I'll be on. I'm available for the rest of the week aside from when I work though. My Wednesdays are terrible. :mad:

I don't think I'm gonna be on today, if for very long. Muse concert tonight in Milwaukee (2 hour drive from where I live).

But I enjoy a good game o SWAT every once in a while. :D
Muse? They're touring with Passion Pit, who I'm gonna see soon.

Meh, I'm usually in a party chat with friend(s) (or by myself). I only feel like communicating gameplay when I play with a team of people.

I should listen to more Muse songs. I only know Knights of Cydonia, and it's amazing lol

lolwut

and I've completed silver tier for flawless cowboy and bronze for demon. No more credits earned for me from doing this :[

Also I was playing on The Package earlier to get the one daily challenge done. I decide after I get it to play until I get to the Bob in the courtyard. Revert the checkpoint a few times and kill the Bob 3 times. I check post game stats to see how many I killed and the Bobs are under the name "Elite Light Vehicle" in-game. Anyone know if this is supposed to mean anything?

Passion Pit was SOOOOOOOOOOOO ****ing good! :D They really remind me of Blues and Lasers+MGMT. Great ****.

And Muse was FANTASTIC!!!!

They closed with that. Best version of it ever. They also did a riff from 'Back in Black' to end a song.

On topic: Reach is awesome. >,>

Passion Pit da bess.
I'm hyped to see them soon :3

On another note, Alex and I dookie'd upon some gentlemen in doubles with our Armour Lock. Blocked 3/4 of his rockets, which is very beneficial.
