BCM563 - Pyramid megabattle, another two plays
(6:47) Level 8 ('Two Betrayals') on Normal. Here are another two plays of the pyramid megabattle save introduced in the last movie. In the first I get busy with shotty & needler in a dark corner near the Wraith, then in the second I switch to the other side of the pyramid and use plasma weapons.

Commentary
00:02 (Play 1 - Shotty & needler) This dark corner is a lot of fun to use, and here I fend off the covies with shotty & needler. The gold Elite doesn't get much of a chance against me, being killed by a plasma blast before getting close (see my throw around 0:55). As for the Wraith, I eventually take that out with grenades.
02:55 (Play 2 - Plasma combo) Quite a tough battle over on the right here, and eventually I go down to only one health bar. Up high there's a lethal danger posed by a fuel rod Grunt who tends to come to the edge of the bridge. In recording plays for the movie, he killed me a number of times, so I became progressively more watchful, and cautious about staying still.
When it comes to dealing with the path guys around 4:48, I have some fun by bailing onto the ledge just in front of the wall.
Closing remarks Another two rounds coming next!
