Nusentinsaino Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Does anyone know how to do this? I finished this chapter on legendary and I kept seeing the marines running away and I assumed they were saved... but at the end it says "this was a search and rescue mission, I think you forgot about the rescue bit" How does one save a marine?

Opiate42 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know how to do this? I finished this chapter on legendary and I kept seeing the marines running away and I assumed they were saved... but at the end it says "this was a search and rescue mission, I think you forgot about the rescue bit" How does one save a marine? Yah, it sucks to hear that line at the end Easiest with a decent team on Heroic and just keep a killin' as quickly as possible. What loadout are you using? Noob combo of plasma pistol/DMR or Carbine works great since there's so many elites. Plus the ammo upgrade, absolutely hate running out mid-firefight. There's several hot spots where you always find marine minions pinned and getting beat up, like the corner bunkers and the back area where the Hunters attack. Also, when the Wraith arrives, get that bastard gone asap or it makes short work of your minions. Usually I try to be in the same area as soon as it lands to plasma charge and grenade the bugger. Watch your friendly fire and jump in front of the marines every chance you get. There's a lot of marines so chances of a couple getting out alive are there but it's carnage, they can get wiped out pretty quick without direct protection and especially since they like to wander aimlessly out of cover a lot. When the time comes that you're ordered to move to the top of the tower the marines will start moving there on their own, stick close and take point to clear out any Covenant on the upper levels first. The more you can get to the top of the tower the better as the blasts from the dropships will wipe quite a few out.

Nusentinsaino Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I just got it. It's much easier with 4 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdSpider72 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I just got it. It's much easier with 4 players That is mentioned in the comments for the achievement guide: 'No One Left Behind' is now obtainable. Play the mission Hacksaw under Spartan Ops and keep at least one of your AI team alive. Much easier with a full team.

RBmaster9345 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The Marines suck. I tried 3 or 4 times by myself and they always died from the Phantom's at the end or and Sword Elites. Luckily I had one glitch into a wall randomly and he was invincible, I was so surprised when Palmer said "well at least one survived" so I looked for him and there he was inside one of the center pillars.

Flame Sama Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Having someone grab an energy sword asap and having them rampage through the elites helps a lot. Also as soon as possible, have one person run up to the top and start shooting the two dropships at the end so they can't pick off the marines. Did it with two friends on Heroic and had a few surviving marines at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOnEI Falcon Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah, the elites that come from the drop pods are brutal. Get 'em quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevander Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I just did it with randoms online. We took out everyone ASAP and I think we had two or three still alive. Those Elites will destroy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBmaster9345 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Pro tip, also shoot off the Phantom's main turrets whenever you get a chance. Those will FUCK UP the Marine's day easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky and had this glitch occur during my game as well. I wasn't even trying to save the marines because I was running solo and figured it wasn't worth worrying about yet. Some times it's better to be lucky than good lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same happened to me and some friends during our first Legendary playthrough. A pretty common glitch, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsaako Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I did it with a group of 4, we failed the first time but found that trying to "lure" the marines into the building and kept guard by them worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiyo Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I got mine the 1st time i went in that mission via randoms. I was at the bottom with a marine in the corner of the building where no phantom could kill him though 4 to 6 marines survived inside the big building as our team was spreaded out with 2 at top, 1 mid and me bot.....

IDiivil Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Just kill the things around the marines. I did it with two others, and it was a breeze. I occasionally used my regen field near them too, though I don't know if it made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilo99 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I finally got this achievement in solo on Heroic. It was tough and I had to try a few times, but I eventually got it. Like some people said before, stay by the marines and take them into the main building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSP 16 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 At the start....immediately give the marines the rocket launchers....it helped me very much as they killed enemies quick while i distract the covenant...i finished it earlier with my girlfriend.....and right away attack the hunters which should be pretty obvious.......

MixMaker1 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Very easy to get. Here's my video guide on it. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFLw2Q9SZLY&feature=g-upl]Halo 4 Achievement Guide: No One Left Behind - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Distraught Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Couldn't manage this by myself. Just did a PuG and succeeded first try. I don't think anyone was aiming for the achievement either, was mass lagg though. Also to the poster above me, thanks for the video I'm sure it'll help others who need it. Is anyone else getting FPS Spikes or just really sluggish movement-lag when in a Co-op Campaign or Spartan Ops game? Edit: Oh yeah, 46/49 Achievos wooohooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsaako Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Is anyone else getting FPS Spikes or just really sluggish movement-lag when in a Co-op Campaign or Spartan Ops game? Yes, at first it might of been host problems but it's every game in spartan ops co-op I've played and through the campaign. It isn't really a big deal but it's still annoying though.

Aaron15 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I did it with a friend first time and had at least 5 marines left lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkReign2021 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 First time we did this was on Legendary with me and a couple friends. Thought we were doing well. Had a couple marines still alive. Than the two phantoms at the end came and tore us to shreds. The 3 of us could barely pop out for more than a couple seconds. I couldn't even get to my Spartan Laser to stop them. Ended up redoing it on Heroic with the same guys. This time we pumped the marines with Rockets, Snipers, and Shotguns (anything that could at least force an Elite to recoil and recover shields.) My friends went on top of the tower and made sure the Spartan Lasers were ready for the Phantoms and I ended up jacking the Wraith and putting myself between the elites and marines to prevent fire from reach them. Than between my 2 friends up top and my mortars down below, we wrecked everything quickly. Had 7 or 8 marines by time we were done. (Now I need to bring myself to do the Marine achievement on the Campaign. Still haven't attempted it yet.) Also, little fun note: If you have any marine survivors, after the achievement pops they become indestructible. I was ramming them with my wraith and sending them flying in all directions.

Luckily I had one glitch into a wall randomly and he was invincible, I was so surprised when Palmer said "well at least one survived" so I looked for him and there he was inside one of the center pillars. This happened in the first game I did today with an Elite. I thought something was odd as I couldn't find him outside of his radar blip until the red arrow showed up. Luckily, his feet poked through so I could melee him. (Beats the one chapter where a bunch of Elite spawned with only their hands and storm rifles sticking out of the ground). Anyway, just posting this as a heads up that the episode needed is up this week again for the random online play for anyone like me that missed it before. I got it on my second try with tons of Marines left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
