Sniping on a rock, then mingling with the Marines with my AR and needler!

(7:29) Level 3 ('The Truth and Reconciliation') on Legendary. In the first of these 10-Marine grav-lift battles, I try out a nice big rock along the left, and it turns out to be excellent for sniping and grenading. Then I enjoy some AR & needler work, mixing with the Marines in the relatively open plain before the grav-lift.

Released June 4th 2026, gameplay recorded May 25th.

00:02 (Sniping on a rock along the left) This big rock along the left looked like a good perch to try out. The Marines gather off to my left, and the covies target them instead of the cyborg with the sniper rifle!

The first five waves get pretty much slaughtered, and my work includes a fortuitous Elite tag on wave 2. Wave 6 has an impact though, spooking the Marines with its brief advance before I whittle them down with sniping. Wave 7 heads off the other way and isn't much trouble aside from some Jackal fire. As for wave 8, that gets wiped out pronto, with five covies being killed by my frag before they know what's what, and a surviving Grunt dying from a Marine frag a moment later.

03:24 (AR & needler, out in the plain) I had good fun with an AR and needler in the previous movie, and this time I'm enjoying the same combo down in what I call the 'plain', namely the large and relatively open area before the grav-lift. Quite a nice area for mingling with the Marines I think, though on the minus side, grenade throws onto the grav-lift are relatively difficult to judge.

There's something amusing around 6:25 at the end of the main phase. My plasma throw happens to tag the final Grunt, and just as I'm looking away after the bang, I spot his needler heading upwards. I move to intercept it, and the needles top up my own needler.

Closing remarks One more battle movie to come!
