BCM672 - Passage horde battle x3, no grenades, single weapon
(7:11) Level 3 ('The Truth and Reconciliation') on Heroic. Continuing with my 63-covie passage horde battle set-up, I again forbid myself the use of grenades, but this time I also fight with a single weapon each time. Includes a sniping play, in which I also forbid myself any melee.

Commentary
00:02 (Play 1 - Assault rifle) In this first "no grenades, single weapon" play, I'm not even allowing ammo top-ups from the spare ARs I've got lying around. I'm trying to make do with just my initial ammo allotment. As it turns out, I finish with plenty of ammo left, so I really could've been more generous with my bullet spraying.
02:18 (Play 2 - Plasma pistol) With its normal mode of fire, the plasma pistol is really economical in regard to how much ammo/energy it takes to slay the various covie types. As such, it's ideal for the "no grenades, single weapon" challenge. This play goes on a bit longer than for the AR, but I wasn't going for speed. I exclusively use normal firing until the final Grunt, who I finish with a plasma ball at point-blank range.
Started off with 88 units of charge, ended up on 19. Of course, I would've used quite a bit more if I hadn't been whacking so many covies.
05:00 (Play 3 - Sniper rifle) Now for the sniper rifle, and this time I'm also forbidding myself any melee. So, just shooting then. No trouble though, and I end on a double-kill with 16 rounds to spare, meaning that I used 52 rounds to dispatch the 63 covies.
Closing remarks Coming next, I move on to some speed plays!
