A few notes on efficency...
Posted By: ACEfanatic02 <acefanatic02@gmail.com>Date: 6/24/08 3:10 a.m.

In Response To: 7 billion campaign kills before 7/7! (ODST27)


Best levels for efficient kills (high kills/minute of play):
- Crow's Nest
- The Storm
- Floodgate
- Cortana

First two are quick action, with only brief lulls in the fighting. Most importantly, they're not vehicle-heavy. Cortana and Floodgate are endless fighting -- very few times when you're not killing something.

Tsavo Highway, The Ark, and The Covenant are inefficient -- only 250-300 kills to be had for an hour-long level. (That's ~5 kills/minute.)

Few notes on vehicles:
- Passenger/turret kills count towards your total as long as you're in the vehicle. (BTW, for score runs, give your passenger a BR -- he'll give you headshot medals with it.)
- Vehicle kills only count if they're occupied -- in other words, aim to kill the vehicle first, not the occupants.
- Kill everything aboard a Scarab before you blow it. Sometimes a Grunt or two will somehow survive the blast.

Finally, Heroic seems to be the sweet spot for difficulty. Plenty of enemy spawns, but not so many you get overwhelmed.

Happy hunting.
