That was a rather nice hog bomb, if I do say so myself.

(7:50) Level 2 ('Halo') on Heroic. Another pair of hit and run rockslide megabattles for you, this time with lots of needling! Again I'm using a modification of my earlier set-up; a modification in which I've eliminated the 11-Marine squad so they won't distract or kill any covies. Also, I'm entering from the left for a change. That's handy for quickly choosing from among some spare weapons near where the squad was.

00:02 (Play 1 - Needler & plasma pistol) For the first play I fancied coupling the needler with a plasma pistol, so I can always stun covies and bring down shields. I have a little spell with that to begin with, but then get the needling going. The final Elite dies around 2:28, after which I enjoy some mopping up.

Something odd around 0:34. There's the sound of a Grunt dying, I think. But how? All I can think of is that it was to do with the scenery. Specifically, a slope.

03:25 (Play 2 - Needler & pistol) This time I begin my combat work on the island plateau, starting with a rather nice hog bomb around 4:00. That wasn't an easy manoeuvre by the way. Sometimes after bailing, I ended up going over the edge.

While I'm busy having fun, the covies kill the Marine on the plateau. Oops! Shirking my protection duties there! Needless to say, vengeance is forthcoming in the ensuing minutes.

Closing remarks There's yet another hit and run movie coming shortly (that'll make five), but I think that might be the last one for now.
