Ryan - 22 Jun 2004 02:05 GMT SO!!! The Maw is soooooooooooooo easy, even on legendary. The biggest problem is getting past the cafeteria. Just remember your objectives!!!!! From the corridor run straight across to the space that holds the vending machines. This triggers the fight. Now with shotgun in hand run past everyone, only shooting who is directly in your path on your way to the bridge. Now you can pick up the health pack, pop into the next room and plasma grenade the elite. Take out grunts. See the video. Run like hell away from the sentinels. Run to the armoury door with shotgun and put yourself against the wall just beside the door. Every time a flood appears shoot. Just remember your objectives!!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL AND FIGHT, JUST GET TO THE NEXT AREA. Everyone should be able to do this and see the Sergeant and the Elite do something to each other as the Pillar of Autumn goes nova.

Scott - 22 Jun 2004 11:40 GMT One of the strategies one must master is when to fight. I have spent so much time happily addicted to HALO my wife is convinced she is a widow. Yes I have completed the whole game a number of times, on all difficulties. The killer was the third level The Truth and Reconciliation. On Legendary that has to be the level you must use discretion and stealth. Fighting to the death can take on a new meaning on that level. Do I like doing all the levels? Yes, especially level two Halo, with that one the driving, the sniping, charging the enemy, rescuing our troops, ahhhhhhhh so sweet. Back to your question: I starting hogging the xbox from my kids to play the FPS, killing mankind's enemy. Many times to run back into an area just to kill them off a different way. i.e. third level The Truth and Reconciliation: you've fought your way out of the gravity lift room and up to the deck above the equipment storage (tank, ghosts), cleared the deck, and plasma pistolled (on overload) the enemy below you. Now rather continue to the door at the end of the deck, jump down onto the tank. Go through the open door which leads back up to the upper deck and attack the elites from the opposite direction they were expecting you. Really you don't have to deal with them once you jump down, but it's fun to go get 'em. Again, for skill testing / fun, I like to see if I can complete a level AND never have been killed. That is fun, and it requires the strategy of "YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL AND FIGHT EVERYONE." Oh yeah, respect you shield bar as if it was your health. Now try to get through the level without dying once. Scott

Scott - 22 Jun 2004 11:46 GMT PS for those who really want to watch the Sarg and the Elite. Follow the below AND do it in co-op mode. When you go to enter the engine room leave the second player outside. The game trigger for all the flood and sentinels in the engine room is when BOTH players enter it. When you doing the level, keep two rockets spare. You'll need them when you exit the engine room and go to the elevator only to find it arriving with Convenant forces, two rockets work wonders here. Scott.

Michael - 11 Jul 2004 15:43 GMT I hate to burst your 15 minutes of fame, oh wait a minute, 18 minutes of fame. Anyone who believes this dork is out of there mind. Believe me if you leave your face glued to the screen 24/7 your time will get better by the minute. You must not have a life if this is what you are doing.....

Ryan - 12 Jul 2004 20:09 GMT Michael take your medication and stop flipping out at people who claim to have obuiously done better than you have. And jeeze if ure flaming a guy cuz he claims he can do it in 18 minutes must meen you're determined to something similar because non-brain dead people wouldn't care otherwise. Unless of course you're hell bent proving you're jack a.s. In which case go right ahead and reply.

I thought this newsgroup is for people enthusiastic about the game. I don't care what anyone believes. And I don't play HALO 24/7 nowadays. It's more like 30 minutes/7.
Hey, does anyone know of a way to record a game in progress onto a VCR? I tried a few different configurations, but no success.

I > tried a few different configurations, but no success. Xbox, I would imagine if your video feed is before the VCR it would work fine.
PC, you would need TV-out, and feed that into the input for your VCR. You could potentially use something like FRAPS to record to the hard drive and then transfer aftewards at your leisure.

Michael - 17 Jul 2004 16:22 GMT Let me put it to you this way Ryan, not to be mean, but do you really think that with just three trys you could beat it in 18mins? My answer would be no! The only way you would be able to beat it in 18 is if you had your pimple bug eyed faced stuck to the screen all day long, and let me tell you That means you have no life if you did.

Its possible that people can get good at halo by only playing 30 mins 6 days a week or less for a bout a year, eventually you get better at it. It doesn't require that you make halo your only calling in life, unless of course you can't see beyond that one possibility and contemplate alternative methods people might take to get the said objective done. If that is the case then my only advice would be is to take some time, perhaps a long nice long walk in the woods and contemplate thinking ahead of your actions, and if you have developed the necessary ability to think ahead, then perhaps you may be able to avoid the pitfalls of humiliation set by the natives weilding foresight.

Pezoids - 21 Jul 2004 06:58 GMT Just for the record douche bag, I also run a successful business, own my house, tune up my own car, brew my own beer, grow my own hops plants, play in poker tournaments, travel, bike, swim, hike, shoot and paint. Etc, etc, etc... blah, blah, blah...
My face is not f'ing glued to the screen. I admit, the occasional all nighter Slayer tourneys with friends do happen once in awhile, but it's a rare occurance nowadays.
...AND, BTW - I just completed the maw in 13 minutes. And thats even after I missed the big jump on the warthog, and had to revert. It was an almost perfect run...
I think you are either jealous of the better players accomplishments or just plain dumb. Maybe you should find another newsgroup where they like idiots and a.sholes.
Pezoids - 15 Jul 2004 10:18 GMT Actually, I just completed it in 15 minutes.
Got to the engine room in about 8 minutes
Brian - 19 Jul 2004 02:10 GMT >Actually, I just completed it in 15 minutes. > >Got to the engine room in about 8 minutes You should check out the Going Nowhere Fast contest over at halo.bungie.org. The winning entry for the Maw was 11 minutes, 8 seconds:

Pezoids - 21 Jul 2004 07:02 GMT WOW !!
I thought maybe I could knock 13 down maybe a minute at the most, but 11? dang!
