Shooting down on Drones and more
Posted December 27th 2007
To the left of the overturned trucks near the tunnel at the start of the highway, you can go up a slope to get way up high on a rocky peak. There's good fun to be had up there, including tagging a very dull-witted Brute on the platform below if you're playing on Heroic. You're so high that you'll even be above the Drones if you've triggered them. It's quite novel to be shooting them from above for a change. You can also reach the peak from around the other side if you want.
I'd recommend eliminating any Shades before ascending, unless you want to do it from up there. You'll be pretty exposed when on the peak, though you can always back off a bit for cover. Incidentally, from near the peak you can jump down onto one of the cable posts, though you'll be quite a target there.
