So, after a few goes at Fire Team Zulu's Ambivalent Cartographer challenge - or a version of it anyway - I decided to spice things up by adding speed to the proceedings. After a few mishaps I got through in 13:02 mostly using a plasma rifle. It's not a fully optimized run but I thought it could entertain so I've uploaded it to YouTube with a few uneventful bits edited out. For my related site page go here. This movie isn't part of my usual series; it's number one in a new series of miscellaneous extras.

As well as killing all Elites (but no other covies, even via inadvertent blast damage), I was following a few other restrictions. No dying or reverting (as ever), no tricks (like in my kill 'em all runs), no vehicles, and using the standard route in which the main facility is visited first, causing the security door to lock.

I had one earlier run I thought was successful, but when I watched the footage I realized I'd killed a Grunt while trying to zap an Elite coming down the path into the interior of the island. This convinced me that you either have to be very careful about when you shoot, or else record your play and watch it back to be sure. Otherwise you could easily fail to notice a death amid the confusion.

PS: At the start when Foe Hammer says "Get set to ??? quick. Hit it Marines!", what's the question mark bit? I've landed on that beach umpteen times and I still haven't figured that out.
