jaded805 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey Robeyone, does the game automatically make you play on Easy the first playthrough? I'm on like the 5th Mission and I couldn't figure out how to change the difficulty, even starting a new campaign wouldn't allow me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose Campain >> Difficulty! easy (or that's how it works in DEMO ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaded805 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I felt so incompotent yesterday 'cause I couldn't get it to switch. Then today for some reason, it just switched to Normal on itself? 'Cause I know I didn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Brad Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I dont understand why Havok felt the need to write this guide, his anticipation got the better of him and the guide shouldnt have even been considered until either he owned the game or it was released. Thats just my personal opinion and for me this just seems like a waste of time, original descripitions were going to obviously be poor and useless so in all it was just wasting forum space and time. If a guide was to be done that early before a game was released then it should have been done by someone such as Tinboy, Robeyone or TG Maduin as all have played sufficient time on the game, and have all contributed to this guide anyway. Well, thats just my personal opinion so don't flame me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crank That Crank Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Where is the last blackbox on level 15!! thats the only one I need! DAMMIT! You also did not state how you got Level 4 to Save Adam. I did all side missions etc. But Cargo 1 is the only one that gets killed, yet I put all my units there and a cutscene shows that it still gets killed Edited February 22, 2009 by Crank That Crank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Adam he is right next to the blackbox location in that level. There is a console there that you open and it lets him out. Just keep him alive as he walks to Cargo 2.

wrog Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Where is the last blackbox on level 15!! North side of the gate/portal or whatever it is, near one of the doors you have to open to finish the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom Eye Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Any hints for the Everything's Better with Bacon Achivement ? I played the first Mission 10 times and killed ALL enemys on the Map with One Warthog and attacked only with the "Y" Button when the Special Attack was ready. So why the hell i don´t get it !?

NightWolf Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Big Al's Scooter 10G Win a Heroic Skirmish Game against the AI in under 10 minutes Use Forge and rush to Max Warthogs, I did that and beat the Heroic AI with under 10 units in the same achievement. Build Strategy (This will take a couple of tries) 1. You use Forge, let the covenant use the Arbiter. 2. Build all Supply Pads 3. Upgrade your Base 4. Build another supply pad and then two reactors 5. Upgrade both reactors 6. Upgrade Warthogs to full 7. Build 9 Warthogs I did this on the Bloodgulch Map and used my 1 warthog to also collect supplies which is VERY KEY. Look all around your area, there are supply boxes everywhere. I tried that strategy several times now and it never worked. The Arbiter always would wipe me out with little effort. I found a much better strategy myself, which I used to get this achievement and the 10 unit achievement. It worked first try. Don't use standard mode as game type, use deathmatch. This way your units are already fully upgraded. The only thing you need to build is a vehicle depot. Now build 4 Grizzlies and 2 Warthogs. With this plus the Warthog you start with I crushed the AI in about 6 minutes and didn't loose a single unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Eye Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) lets see what you will say when the game is in stores lol, go and cry somewhere else thx. BTW: THE GAME IS IN STORES Back to Topic: Big Al's Scooter 10G Achievement is easy, just start a Skirmish with a friend on your side against the AI and let your friend leave the game and BÄM the Achievement is your´s. I found that out by an accident Edited February 24, 2009 by Doom Eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RYARNI Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I tried that strategy several times now and it never worked. The Arbiter always would wipe me out with little effort.

With this plus the Warthog you start with I crushed the AI in about 6 minutes and didn't loose a single unit. The key to the first method is NOT upgrading both reactors, that will leave you an extra 1200 points to play with, and I can confirm that with that in mind its easily doable with pumped up warthogs.

Seany Show Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 What happened to this guide anyway? People have posterd dribs and drabs but nothing in full! Sort it arrrrt! I dont believe the OP will carry on with this guide as it hasn't been touched basically since it was first written. I believe someone else needs to take all the good infomation from here and create a complete guide as this is a shame really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
