Commentary

00:02 (Play 1 - Plasma combo, 5 grenades) This play was actually intended to be a "no plasmas" play, but I think maybe I briefly forgot about that, because actually one plasma sneaked out as my first grenade. I liked the play though, as it featured the amusement of finishing each of the Elites with a whack. So although I didn't start out with the explicit limitation "5 grenades only", you can take it as an example of what could be done when playing to that restriction.

02:23 (Play 2 - Sniper rifle & AR) Figured I'd try to bring some sniping into the movie, so here you go. One nice thing about the sniper rifle is that it gives you a way of finishing the Hunters fast. Although, you may experience some grunty harassment, as I do here around 3:37 when trying to get a Hunter in the back.

04:06 (Play 3 - Rear attack, plasma pistol & needler) Here's another of the rear attack plays I recorded when working on the previous movie. This time I end up getting chased down the main passage by a Hunter I'd failed to shake.

05:36 (Play 4 - Plasma rifle & AR) In this final play I'm specifically going for an early side-passage attack. And indeed, that phase goes quite nicely. Then starting around 6:14 there's a long segment of dancing around with Hunters, until finally they're both down. Did some nice dodging there I think. After finishing them, I find that the stack is actually still quite big. But it doesn't last long.

Closing remarks Not quite sure if this will be my last passage horde battle movie for now. Maybe I'm not done yet. I have an idea, but I'll have to see if it works out. Anyway, let's get this movie out!
