Here we go again - and watch out for an airborne Elite Shade gunner!

(7:28) Level 3 ('The Truth and Reconciliation') on Legendary. Having tackled the start four ways on Heroic in the last movie, I now switch things up to Legendary, which gives you an extra Elite to slay. Two of the previous four plans are reused (sniping, and deep infiltration), but with some variation. Update: I've now posted an article on the topic.

Released December 26th 2024, gameplay recorded December 23rd-24th 2024.

00:02 (Sniping) Here I'm doing something similar to the first play in the previous movie, except that I initially get behind some rock with a convenient opening for shooting through. It's a nice feeling being extra distant from the covies. A highlight comes when I grenade a Shade manned by an Elite. He goes airborne and I finish him with two sniper rounds before he hits the ground. Another highlight: a long-range frag around 1:56, taking out the reinforcement Jackals.

02:13 (Weapons extraction) In this plan I sneak in to grab a few weapons from dozing Grunts, then back out to use them from the balcony. Much better than using an AR there. Around 3:34 when I've dropped down, I get to needle an Elite manning a Shade, while he's distracted by the Marines. And amusingly, the Shade gets blasted up into a tree. Also there's some lovely needle crossfire after that, killing the last Elite.

04:32 (Sniping assault) Going in and getting aggressive with the sniper rifle is a fairly dangerous business on Legendary, but coupled with good use of cover, it can be fun.

05:55 (Deep infiltration with sniping) When I did a 'deep infiltration' last time, I was using a needler. Here I base things around sniping, giving things a quite different feel.

Closing remarks Didn't include an AR assault here, as it's really hard to do that on Legendary. I mean, unless you spend most of your time cowering behind a rock!
