The Marines just can't get enough of this Ghost action. Me neither!

(7:17) Level 5 ('Assault on the Control Room') on Heroic. Another three Ghost squad battles for you, with the same set-up, and once again I play in three different ways. The first includes the addition of gunplay, to mix things up a bit. And later on, watch out for a grenade blitz on the Wraith!

Released September 5th 2024, gameplay recorded August 29th - September 1st 2024.

00:02 (Play 1 - Gunplay added) I decided to add some weapon use to the Ghost action, and it turned out to be excellent fun. I start off here with some quick sniping, which includes taking down the Elite. And later on I get into some rocket play of course.

There's a bit of an accident around 1:35 when I try to rocket the second Shade. A Marine in a Ghost catches the ground blast (which is short of the Shade) and the Ghost goes flying over my head.

Another comedy highlight: a nice Elite splatter near the end, around 2:13. If you're wondering why his death cry is cut short, that'll be because the game quickly removed him when he went out of sight.

02:30 (Play 2 - Wraith distraction & rear attack) At the start of this play I get the Wraith's attention then curve left to attack the leading covies from the rear. I'm hoping that the Wraith will continue to fire at where it last saw me, thus sparing the Marines a bit of bombardment.

Around 3:27 there's an amusing bit where the Shade gunner get splattered while trying to throw a grenade, which he was likely prompted into by my Ghost fire. Then just after that, a Wraith shot sails over my head and I hear a Grunt behind me get blasted. I then launch an excellent grenade blitz on the Wraith. Four plasmas and a frag does the job.

04:45 (Play 3 - Retreat trigger, slope hangout plan) This time I initially have some fun hanging out on the slope, waiting for the forward Elite to fall back. He's on foot, and soon I'm off to to get the main Ghost action going.

Around 6:28 I try a grenade blitz on the Wraith, but I'm short on plasmas (used up two on the high Shade) and it looks like my frags all miss. Just after I reboard though, I see the Wraith finished off by Ghost fire coming in from the side.

The battle ends with a comical splattering of a blue Elite. Looks like a double splatter, as a Marine Ghost inadvertently adds to my splatter intent. A very amusing dynamic, which I thought would make a great ending to the movie.

Closing remarks Stay in your seats folks. Still haven't finished yet.
