Re: Did it!

In Response To: Did it! (davidfuchs)

: So that was remarkably difficult. I played by the rule of no Elites *had* to
: be killed, although I ended up taking a fair few out to try and force the
: Grunts to scatter.

I still don't know if it was meant like that, but I do think having to kill all Elites makes for a much more interesting challenge. Otherwise there are various potentially challenging areas you could just bypass, making it a lot like the pacifist business.

: I had various success with the Elites in the passage, as sometimes they
: were Minors and sometimes Majors. I found it fairly easy to throw grenades
: that would only kill the Elites, but I tended to find I was likely to take
: myself up in the blast as well.

Wow, that sounds really risky to me. That place is jam-packed with Grunts! At any rate, I never risked using grenades there; and even if I was close to an Elite and could see that no Grunts were near, zapping him with plasma would surely work faster and be safer.

: so I ended up having to redo
: the section and get my shields knocked down to make sure I could grab
: another overshield to survive the fall.)

I don't think you need an overshield to survive the fall do you? Pretty sure you can do without. Oh… hold on though, I'm using PAL, where MC is more resilient to fall damage. I see that you were using CEA which is akin to NTSC. So maybe the fall is indeed a problem for you.

: Grabbed the crashed 'Hog, and went with rockets. Not sure how good an idea
: this was.

It's not often I pass up the chance of a rocket launcher, but this was one of them. Didn't think I'd be able to get enough use out of it. Although, I'm kind of reconsidering that now, because on my run (see movie mentioned in another post) I never even used my secondary weapon (a pistol) until right at the end with the cloaked Elites. So I may as well have taken a rocket launcher - except I was doing a speed run without vehicles and it would've cost me time to get.

: *Coming back was the bitch, primarily the elbowed hallway with a few Grunts
: and an Elite just before the stairwell leading to the Hunters. I ended up
: using grenades to try and force the Grunts to dive further away from me

Yikes, sounds risky again! Would've liked to see footage of this.
