samosir Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Very good guide indeed! I have a question about mission number 1, killing 100 grunts. Is there any hidden area with grunts? Because I never seem to find enough grunts to get 100, and as soon as I kill the ones at the end, the mission is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic-H Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I left a Warthog at the front of Alpha base, and then proceeded to go in and kill the rest of the Grunts... Got 100/100 and then switched over to the Warthog where the skull should have been and it wasn't there, then the level ended Is it hard to see and maybe I missed it? Any help is appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helvirahel Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hey, I've got a warning for the skull on Mission 1. If you don't kill the grunts quickly, any kills that the marines that you're rescuing get before you rescue them don't count to your total kills. If you have less than 100 kills it's because the marines stole too many kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
