Hmm have you ever taken the fuel rods from the brutes beforethis and the one after you lose your hog and using themto blow up the phantoms? I always thought it was fun because I couldnt do stuff likethat in H:CE orH2

Personally, I drive the normal Warthog. When i kill a Fuel-Rod enemy, i give the gun to the person riding shotgun. They never run out of ammo, and are very accurate shots, notably taking down many of the Drones with dead-on hits. When i have 3 or 4 fuel rods, i drive the transport warthog. This firepower is massive: one drive-by and a wraith, a turret and two choppers were all destroyed. Seriously, humans with fuel-rods are WAY to accurate, especially with unlimited ammo.

Even though the Wraith is the easiest way to beat the Choppers and Wraiths after the series of buildings outlined, another amusing way to do away with the Choppers is to drive the Warthog up the little ridge to the left of where the Wraith first floats in and attract them with the turret. Once they’re close, they often have trouble turning, as all Choppers seem to, and they are easy prey for a few fuel rod blasts each. Even if the Maines are all dead, there are usually two up by the next couple of Brutes next to their Choppers after the short tunnel. They can be used to dispatch the Choppers in the open section ahead if you peek around corners as if you were on foot. Then you can actually climb up the near side of the ridge torwards the Wraith sitting on the broken bridge. If you take back your passenger’s FRG (or pick up another- they’re all around the dead bodies here, with one right under a part of the bridge, up against the rock face), then you can take out the Wraiths on foot, provided a good deal of luck. It can be frustrating, but is beautiful when it works out. Just watch out for the extra turret if you didn’t already take it out.
By the way, all the barriers that stop vehicles can be taken out from outside them provided a great enough blast. A tripped trip-mine or a Wraith’s mortar knocks them down each time, as do a few fuel-rod blasts. That’s how I usually do it.

Tsavo Highway introduces a new enemy- Brute snipers! Seriously, if you go on the floating platform before you go to the roundabout, you’ll see a brute minor wielding a beam rifle!

i’ve only read this far in the series of articles, and it’s already making me want to fire up my ’360 (which lies about a yard from my bed where i type this…No, it’s not that comfortable to play while laying down).

Very cool stuff you have here. I’ve spent hours reading these articles. Its nice reading about stuff I missed in the campaign even after playing through it so many times. Anyway, something weird happened to me on this level. I was playing on legendary with the IWHBYD skull active driving the Warthog in the area just before the first shielded tunnel. I was driving by the broken bridge and the gravity lift platform when I was forced halfway up the rock wall behind the platform and I swear I heard the Jerkstore Grunt from the last mission. Has this happened to anyone else, or anything like this? By the way Squirrel Shape is my gamertag; add me if you feel so inclined. I don’t get to play that often though.

for that tough area right after the gap in the bridge, if you have a good number of marines with you and can load them up with sniper rifles, they can usually help take out several brutes if you don’t advance… then you can keep trading weapons and use up most of the ammo…
also, if you manage to run right past all the brutes, you can hijack the wraith and use it to kill all the brutes, the choppers and sometimes the phantoms that come in… this helps out alot if you’re using the scoring option…

Just want to say that your articles rock, and that I find it quite amusing that tons of people posted the exact same tactic to take down the Phantoms with the FRG.
