You'd think they could see me through that shield, but no. And that means fun!

(7:31) Level 3 ('The Truth and Reconciliation') on Legendary. In regard to tackling the start of T&R, originally I was only going to have the previous two movies. But I then had more ideas so here are another four plays on Legendary to conclude my coverage. And by the way, I've also now posted an article on the topic.

Released December 28th 2024, gameplay recorded December 25th-26th 2024.

00:02 (High sniping) While working on this topic, I realised that I could get up on top of one of the rock sections along the balcony, for a novel high sniping position. You're quite exposed, but crouching can shelter you from most enemy fire. The jump needed is a bit tricky though. You need to jump almost immediately after starting to move forward on the take-off rock.

02:09 (Shield ambush) Here's another new plan I came up with: nipping along to hide behind the stationary shield and then ambush the covies, hopefully taking out an Elite fast. Sometime you can just step out and tag him, but on this occasion I use a frag.

03:53 (AR balcony attack) Fighting from the balcony with an AR is pretty hard on Legendary as it's hardly the ideal weapon, but I gave it a try here. A frag helps me wear down the red Elite on the left, before I move along.

05:47 (Covie weapons assault) This time I head into the area to attack with covie weapons. I quickly acquire a plasma pistol and needler from dozing Grunts (as can often be done), and things go well from there, with needles being decisive in rapidly taking out all three Elites. Only lost one Marine.

Closing remarks It was fun to revisit this scenario in these last three movies, and to get into different ways of tackling things. But I do wish the disembarkation checkpoint had been delayable, so I could delay it until Cortana's chatter was over. I've heard her lines rather a lot of times, these last few days!
