BCM569 - Pyramid megabattle, another two plays

(6:50) Level 8 ('Two Betrayals') on Normal. Another two plays of the pyramid megabattle save introduced in the last movie. In the first I attack on the left with pistol & rocket launcher, then in the second I switch to needler & shotty and do a door attack.

Released April 18th 2025, gameplay recorded April 15th-17th 2025.

Commentary

00:02 (Play 1 - Pistol & rocket launcher) In my sequence of five movies with the previous set-up, I never got around to using the pistol. But here's some pistol work with the new set-up at least, and things get off to a nice start with an Elite tag right after I dismount!

Incidentally, that spare Banshee you see is the original one, sent down to the ground as I dismounted onto the platform in the set-up work. It settled in a nice position for shunting towards the mob as seen here, to maybe splatter someone.

03:46 (Play 2 - Needler & shotty) The door attack in BCM566 was fun, so here's another. When it later comes to the bridge around 5:37, I dismount to enjoy cleaning up on foot.

Around 5:55 I hover to kill some path troops. That was really too dangerous, hovering where I could easily have been blasted by the Wraith. Don't do that!

As for handling the Wraith at the end, I sneak up through the tunnel and give it a barrage of four plasma grenades but it's not quite enough, which I think was because one of them only went onto a wing, rather than the Wraith's top. A quick shotty blast finishes the job though.

Closing remarks More plays coming next.
