ATTN: Firefighters

[Kornman00]

On Lost Platoon, it takes about...oh 90mins to 2hrs IIRC? With a good team.

I thought Alpha Site was the fastest. All the enemies funnel into a central location and it's really easy to rack up kill multipliers. No vehicles, though.

I need to brush up on firefighting. I went in completely cold (haven't touched it in 6 months) and wasn't sure where the weapons would spawn and didn't remember much about the scoring system. Spent the whole match just driving the Warthog around, trying not to flip over.

I could have seen myself really liking this mode if not for some of the more annoying skulls (black eye, catch), not being able to start at a later set, the difficulty in getting people together to play, and the fact that there's no end. They could also use some objectives and counter-objectives to mix things up.

It was about that when we did it. I recommend Lost Platoon for the vehicles. You don't want to be on foot when the set 4 chieftains come around. Just grab the warthog and hijack some choppers, and sit at a nice distance to pick them off.

Last night we were playing and were still on Set 1, forget which round, but tilt was on and the dropships dropped off 3 chieftains @_@. I thought there was usually only 2 or something...might have been due to the heroic setting. Took forever to take down their shields with the chain gun lol

You can get upto 4 chieftains.
Two gold and two red+black.
Best case with the hammer chieftains is ram the fuckers with a chopper.
Oh and if you find out who is host you can board the wraiths.

I hear Alpha Site's a great map to get it on.



As for the chieftans, I hear it works to use a plasma pistol charge followed by everyone pistoling the shit out of it's head.

I'm probably busy for the most of the week. Today's my only day off, though I gotta be somewhere at 12. May be there for a few hours.

They're not chieftains unless they have a hammer. Brutes with FRGs are Brute captains.

the ones with the FRG are weapon chieftans and the on e with hammers are classified as war chieftans IIRC

[ejburke]

Pretty sure the brutes with FRG's are called, "Assholes."

[Sever]

Nah, they're called "walking ammo reserves".

I played as the heavy weapons guy, and followed the first rule of combat engagement - know your enemy. Chieftains and War Chieftains were my specialty target, and thus the Gravity Hammer and the Fuel Rod Cannon were my primary Covenant weapons.
