| As the level opens, run forward
and to the right. Take cover along the ridge and begin sniping. You'll remain
undetected longer if you take out lone Covenant first. Be sure to get the
ones in the turrets, too. When you're discovered, switch to your machine
gun and join the Marines in mopping up. |
|
When the Marines tell you
they'll hang back, move ahead on the left and get a position on the high
ground that lets you fire on the whole valley. |
|
Often, it's a good idea to
climb into a Covenant turret and use its sizable firepower to take out the
enemy. When the valley is clear, battle forward and handle the waves of
attacks at the gravity lift. |
| The last assault at the lift
is two Hunters - your first encounter with these huge, deadly Covenant.
Since they're slow but pack a brutal punch, keep your distance and backpedal
if they approach - in close, they can kill you with one swipe. Use your
most powerful weapon and, from a distance, fire cautiously but steadily.
Also, watch out for their powerful green plasma bursts, which you can easily
sidestep. |
|
Once you've ridden the gravity
lift into the Covenant ship, you'll face a Covenant in camouflage for the
first time. They're invisible like in the movie Predator, and they can kill
you before you even see them. Their large, blue sword, the occasional shimmer
of their camouflage, and their telltale, dog - like grunts give them away,
though. You can also spray bullets around randomly - weapon fire disrupts
their camo. |
