BCM656 - Rockslide megabattle, another three plays
(7:56) Level 2 ('Halo') on Heroic. Another triple-play of the same set-up, this time starting with a nice cosy hidey-hole defence in which Johnson enjoys a bit of grenade work. Then it's an island plateau defence with some chain-gun crossfire, and finally there's a hectic plateau base defence.

Commentary
00:02 (Play 1 - Hidey-hole defence) During my drive, I cut through part of the dropship trigger zone to free some covies of their territorial restrictions, so they'll approach. At the hidey-hole we do pretty well. A few plasma grenades land in our area, but there's never any covie incursion. Johnson gets busy with frag grenades after a while, which is nice to see, and meanwhile I have good fun with my needler, along with a pistol and later a plasma rifle. We later went and killed the dropship 4 Elite, but I've cut that extra phase.
02:27 (Play 2 - Island plateau defence) This time I leave Johnson on the chain-gun and give him a position on the Marine plateau which sets him up for a bit of crossfire, while I do my stuff on the island plateau. During the battle, covies have a tendency to stand below and look up at the hog through the rock, enabling me to do some sneaky attacking, such as my tag on a red Elite around 3:26, which also takes out his buddy!
05:20 (Play 3 - Plateau base defence) Here's an action-packed scuffle below the Marine plateau to finish, complete with comedy ending!
