This week's... weekly... was really easy. Aim at the head of the elite at the beginning, checkpoint, headshot, revert, rinse and repeat. Literally did it in ten minutes, probably less.
There was no way I was gonna complete the 20 flawless firefight matchmaking games yesterday. I played 5 and gave up. Just didn't have the time or energy to keep playing after a full day of work.
Lol When I seen the Challenge I was thought "Oh the weekly challenge has reset already? :S" Tried to do it got to about 6 kept dieing randomly then having to go though hole set knowing couldn't do it, Couldn't do it not even for 3,000cR
I'm telling you, Gruntpocalypse on Courtyard is the easiest Firefight map to get through without dying. My biggest concern is secondary explosions from plasma grenades lying around. That's why I usually try to kill most grunts in the same area, then when I'm near the end of a wave... stand there and just keep repeatedly start chucking grenades to kill enemies... or use grenades to kill them instead of headshots so they all get wiped out by the secondary explosions.
i think Corvette and Outpost are equally easy to perfect. Corvette, sit by "hangar" spot, sprint back for ammo when needed. Outpost, sit on top of "deck" spot, grunts are funnelled through the building and have no other way to access you, just watch out for random fuel rod sniping grunt guy who somehow magically kills you when you least expect from out of nowhere
Yeah those grunts have screwed me over many a time, especially since it's instant kill if they hit you, and they shoot like 4 in a row, and even if they miss, they could kill you with those secondary nade explosions.
You know you can just shoot any grenades with head-shot capible weapons and they will explode(in any game mode in reach). I find "Sniper Attack" a lot easier, Because you spawn with pretty much the most powerful weapon in the game with unlimited ammo. You can shoot them at any range so you can camp anywhere you find the easiest spot. I recommend: -Outpost on the roof of the human building.(Forced to go though one door that hunters can't fit though) -Glacier in the inital spawn room (obvious deference's and most AI wont walk in there unless from side path) -Holdout on the bridge thing where you enter the map on campaign near the giant building(one way in and a bend in the wall to hide behind and snipe all AI from spawn.) -Corvette on either side ramp just outside initial spawn.(one way up and hole to hide) Also because it's not just all grunts there's brutes elites and hunters and jackals you get more cR's. Even though most things are 1 shot kill few are 2shot and hunters are about 5 shots with a sniper anywhere on them so there's nothing really to worry about except those left over grenades lying around but we already figured out how to beat them.
I actually find Beachhead to be the best Sniperfight map for me. Above the roof of the building you first spawn in, is a ledge of grass that you can jetpack up to. You can see about 75% of the map from up there... just keep running back and forth along that ledge. Up there you pretty much only have to worry about the occasional skirmisher with focus rifle, wraiths, and the occasional drop pod that lands on the balcony of that building.
So 50 wins this week in match making. May take me all week, but I shall continue to not miss a weekly challenge.
I really despise challenges to get wins. They're exponentially worse than assist challenges. At least with assist challenges, you don't need to rely on just your team to get an assist. Anyone that finishes off a player that you wiped the shields off of, will give you an assist. Most of the times when these win challenges come up, I get a crapload of quitters on my team.
really? i think both assist and win challenges are easy. assists- plasma overcharge a lot with teammates near you the wins one this week is only 7 wins a day, with 8 one day. thats easy
Not when you're trying to play as few games as possible. I gave up on the assists challenge. I could have gotten it, but I just didn't feel like playing a lot today. Just completed the two Firefight challenges and ended it there.
Assist challenges are annoying I just play as normal hoping to get them maybe not killing people if someone else is near them hoping they notice him and kill him . But this weekly I like Maybe promote winning as an actual goal instead of alot of the people i play only care about there K/D :l. But also its one which can't be cheated in Muti-Team > fair enough if you can win mutli-team though
Today I was so frickin' annoyed at the assist challenge that I nearly thru my controller at my tv. Everytime I fired a charged plasma pistol at someone, nobody was around to clean up the kill. I had 3-4 assists every game. All I get is annoyed at this game now. [br][/br]Edited by merge: A fairly decent new weekly challenge. I think I can manage about 2 daily challenges/day... even when trying to play Fable 3.
This new weekly is really interesting. I'll be able to manage a few dailies done every day, so hopefully I'll be able to finish it.
-Score X points on Campaign with less than X deaths and X Skulls(skulls/deaths optional) Best Campaign Level : New Alexandria - Mission start Reasoning because you start with Hornet and there's a unlimited supply of banshees and putting more/all skulls on barely makes the banshees any better but will multiply your score (all skulls on legendary killing 1 banshee=1785points) What is with these challenges like every one has been over 1000cR and weekly gives you 16000cR for doing them, so 16000+24000(average challenge 1.5k)+ lets say 40000cR for the games needed to get challenges 80000cR easy like they want us to level up and get rich.
