LASO: Long Night of Solace

Use the infinite respawning marines near the beginning of the level to fill up on rocket ammo. That will make the first part of the Covenant carrier part a lot easier.

Also, Needle Rifle is your best friend throughout the mission. At the very end when you are defending the Pelican with Jorge, do not let the gun on the front of it get destroyed. You can actually crouch next to it and wiggle around then move backwards while holding X you can actually control gun and be impervious to damage. Otherwise, have fun with the Ultras that come pouring out.

Booze And DMR

I've noticed that there is a fine (very fine at that) bell curve of my Halo: Reach skills in relation to amount of alcohol consumed.

A bottle of the very tasty Smithwick's and a party of people who like to have fun and work together for the win set the mood for some fairly decently paced games. In fact I don't recall losing a game with that team we had going. Probably because Halcylon is a fucking amazing pilot with a Falcon so that made Breakpoint matches a lot easier.

With that team long since departed to snooze, I am ready to set off in my lone quest of this week's LASO challenge. I have finished every other LASO lain down before me, and I aim to finish this one as well. Time to crack open that can of chilled liquid courage and face this beast down.
