I will try in a comment:

THANK YOU!

anyway you saved me a lot of time on that!

[nutbagticles]

lol i did it the proper way, there's just a pattern you need to do obviously.

[12tippettm]

shuold i have killed all of the zealots before i got in to the cannon

[ipodhelp999]

Ur awsome

[SPCoiReconZz]

WOW OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH

[superlithia]

[AstroDanny1661]

[Ubertastic101]

Omg, duh I should have done that in the first place

[fightingBRITISH]

Thank you!!!

[AlienAnimosity]

[conorplivelich]

@AlienAnimosity lol toke me 5 min to rage quit XD

[skatewert]

@conorplivelich dude me too but then i found this vid, almost threw game out the fucking window

[StarkBarracuda]

That's EXACTLY what I did! :D

[mono3078]

U fucking legend,thank u thank u thank u !!!!!!!!!

[jsbestvideos]

I fucking love you, I was stuck there for like two days lol

[moemoe7193]

It was that easy... -__-

[moneyking1]

Thanks for the help man, i was about to give up and say "screw it". But then after i did this i got the achievement "A Monument To All Your SIns".That was my very last achievement for this game. Now i have all the achievements, so thanks a lot. I will remember this.

[movieandhaloliker]

i dont think thats a mac cannon, i think its a massdriver, my friend told me.

[Kowalski45]

@movieandhaloliker It is a mass driver, but its pretty much a very mini mac.

[accountforschool1]

Spent hours trying to figure this out. Thanks

[VeonThief]

wow thank you so much i just did this solo legendary and i was tring to get past this last part for 2 hours. ty all i had to do was wait and shoot 1 time lolz!!!

[tomhet]

You are a useless wuss, you don't have to hide! I know from experience that it's still completely doable on Legendary with every main skull on except Mythic, Iron and Black Eye, that's how I play through this level to farm credits. It's a question of prioritizing. Believe it or not, the Banshees are the greatest threat during this part, you have to destroy them ASAP. Then destroy the Phantoms that are already shooting at you. The rest is a piece of cake.

[shadowgun22]

@tomhet thanx man i noticed this dude kept dyin so i chose your method, it actually worked, the lowest health i had was yellow

warning shields down

[DrFrankChibi]

@tomhet I also noticed the Banshees were the ones doing most of the ass kicking. My method pretty much went like yours. Once I committed to it, I got it in one try without losing shields.

[fede90rico1]

you r a fucking noob that's not legendary....

[HungovrChewbaca]

oh my god u have no idea how much this helped me this is probably the hardest fucking mission in the whole game, thank you so much

[cafrub27]

lol more like mac daddy cannon

[Dihnekis]

lol thanks. that was easy...

[Sh4dower5]

so that's a MAC Cannon...

[rhinogek]

I beat it on legendary first try lol

[AnthonyFamiglietti]

@rhinogek

Jeez, you must be really cool. How many online girlfriends do you have also?

[Greenhelm64]

did no one seriously think of this?

[oxide345]

@Greenhelm64 i know right?

[LeHiNaD19]

You r a fucking god my friend

[DarknessXER]

I wonder how much a mac cannon would cost, hmm.

[swordharpycrystal]

ughhhhh i feel stupid XP

[dygitalfear005]

you know you dont have to wait for the ship to have a target on it, you can shoot it anytime you want right....

[swordharpycrystal]

@dygitalfear005 really O_o



[Superyeah136]

this us great ur pr0

[Xterraforce512X]

Best way to do this is to have the decoy equipment, before going for the gun send out a hologram and that will buy you about 2 seconds. =D

[CrossRunner413]

I wondered about that way, but everytime I got on I got killed really easily, so I figured you had to do it the hard way. Either way, this level sux on legendary

[PurpleWookies]

your awesome :)

[HoulihanFryingPan]

finally freakin did it thanks to this video

[HippieColonel]

That was easy. Thank you.

[D10343]

oh you pussys....i had to learn the pattern to win this part. But nice video.

[kvelas1]

@D10343 i KNOW i had to do it the old fashion way, keep shooting till i hit something :)

[Sky9ine]

I beat it on Heroic then Legendary and the endings are exactly the same... :(

[LKaminski]

Thank you!!

[TheLegitReaper]

Fucking thank you!

[osaifh]

Really nice! it's great! thanks you man

[Hydrofication13]

holy shit thank you.

[morsel101]

This was not that hard for me (legendary) with every death you just had to make sure you took those ships down in the right order , the two on the left from the far distance with the rapid plasma bursts were a priority after the the first couple and then a few close in , once you get the order in which ship to take down at what time , the ending is cake . I found the elites just before hand to be challenging , as i check-pointed with one elite remaining this section, that was more frustrating :)

[snkv12]

I <3 U ......no homo

[xkoonzix]

thank u!!

[FinVpo137]

ur the man!

[euronio]

That single part is more annoying than Exodus, i could NOT hear Keyes say "crack those shields" one more time, i knew as soon as he said that i would die the next second

[PkmnMaster77q]

thank you so much :)



[ZuluMonk]

Thanks, I just knew that there was no humanly possible way to survive in that thing.

[amirrbmj]

@ZuluMonk Sure? i managed to survive while in the MAC cannon.

[assannight]

sweet thanks now to find out how to get past those zealots D:

[buffymitch]

Are you kidding me? that was messed up easy!!

[kflex119]

how do you beat the elites before the cannon i have been stuck there for a week.

[flinkey1]

@kflex119 trick is to hop in shoot the floating sheild thing than pick em off one at a time

[stupidlego]

I didnt care how many times i died here, this was by far worth dying to do over again, i had so much fun feeling like an utter badass at this part.

[AlaBeroya]

@stupidlego i agree. it felt good blasting the covy scum out of the sky. after being pinned down by the drop ships, i wanted nothing short of complete revenge and that MAC gun gave it to me.

[85matt85]

@stupidlego did you do it on legendary? because im destroying the ships as fast a humanly possible and just cant do it. How did you do it?

[4yinyang]

I`m pretty sure people are getting sick of other saying what they have done on this game, but I can`t help it I`m too proud over myself that I recently did this game solo on legendary, and no tricks. Now I hate that goddamn MAC Cannon and those GODDAMN elites before the cannon.

[MTStingray]

@4yinyang Agreed on those elites. Harder than the MAC gun without a doubt.

[xandalek]

wow!!!!! you clever fucker. its was a dirty move but it works. thank you good sir. i was about to give up all hope.

[SlasherDRG]

what about the elites shooting at you from the ground???

[iTeriyakid]

I just finished it and didn't get the fucking achievement or it doesn't even say i beat it but i did.... dumb fucking cheap game.

[GermanysF1nest]

@iTeriyakid i'd rather say u fail.

[iTeriyakid]

@GermanysF1nest

It happened to several of my friends and happened to me on Long Night of Solace too. So how do I fail...? I even move on to the next mission while both Rally points are unlocked. If you're gonna use the word fail, at least know when to use it....

[ShadowMantis7]

@iTeriyakid you sure you beat each part of each mission? Look back at the sections of each mission to see if you did(i.e. mission start, alpha checkpoint, bravo checkpoint). Happened to me too, realized I somehow skipped a single section. Completed it and I got the achievement.

[CrownMeNiqquh]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I WAS STUCK HERE FOREVERR!

[Th3EliteNugget]

You know we pros need a medal for having balls to do this on legendary, although i did this on my first try, SOLO!

[ShottaScarface]

@Th3EliteNugget i just beat nightfall on legendary solo lol im super happy XD

[snwkingfrlife]

Easiest way which I'm sure has been said is to hide down on the stairs until you need to fire at the corvette

[Th3EliteNugget]

@snwkingfrlife It's a battle cruiser.

[Kensei007]

AWW...that's cheatin'! I did it the hard way. Took me about...20 tries but I finally did it. You can't miss a shot. I'm pretty sure there's a certain order to do it in, too. If someone had a clock direction kind of set up for when each shot was done then it'd be doable.

Something like 9 oclock high, 12 oclock low, etc.

[ACardboardDerp]

All I did was hid behind the cannon until Keyes said to shoot the glassing core, then got in and took a quick shot at it.

[pspmad1]

thnx this saved me time.

[xXFL4WL3Ss]

This last mission is prolly the hardest mission I ever played in a video game, omg it never ends and when it did I was like FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

[hadesassasin12]

an easier way to do this would be to shoot down the first phantom and get out, and when they tell you to shoot down the corvette, shoot at it.

[emjland1]

calling it a mac cannon is kinda redundant cause mac stands for magnetic accellerator cannon, so you're saying magnetic accelerator cannon cannon.

[oyadomarig10]

@emjland1 makes it more cannon like 

[007to00dad]

@emjland1 that like people who say atm machine, automatic teller machine machine is what they're really saying

[emjland1]

so its like an obscenely powerful spartan laser, except it's bigger.

[macky090]

im sorry but if ur looking at this video for a guide it took him 2 hours to get to that spot so i think ur better off alone

[hemsky19]

I can't beat the part right before this. Lol. But this should definitely help when I get here.

[nextgenvids]

@hemsky19 just wait till the big ship comes than jump in and shoot it

[xmikerinehartx]

i cant get past the first part of this mission when you start out on the cliff. its pissin me off. any tips ?? much apreciated

[MrPhobio]

@xmikerinehartx ouch... haha

[sherwood784]

@xmikerinehartx jump off the cliff and assassinate that elite then run as fast as you can in the other direction. you'll be able to pick off the grunts from there. emille will take that jackals and you can use the plasma pistol to drop the elite

[sherwood784]

@xmikerinehartx btw DO NOT GO UNDER THAT DAMN BRIDGE!

[misplacedhead]

is there a way i can get the save file? or do i have to get here on my own? i downloaded the file already, says it can only be viewed in theatre

[TylerVanStompU]

The scary part is..we have the technology today to make scaled down versions of this weapon.

[imonster242DRohrer44]

dude thank you I was playing this solo and kept getting killed on the gun and I was so pissed!

[leighton138]

there is a easyer way just let all the ships on and stand undedr the gun till he says shoot it thenjump in gun and shoot it thats how i did it hahahqaha

[malaNauta]

I wish I could give your video a thousand thumbs up

.

[dan0979]

Omg, Im playin this on legendary. And I'm stuck. Like there are 2 elites and the super elite with 2x sheilds power sword and cuncussion riffle. I already got rid of enginner. and i cant kill the elites. So hard. and if i dont kill them and get right on the gun they shoot me and i die.

[harorider12804]

you need to kill the enginneer before u kill the elites on the part before this

[XxGhostboy187xX]

I jus beat this but all u do is get on and get off then just wait till you they need you and u beat it. But I'm pissed off cuz I beat the game on legendary and I got no achievments for beating it.

[heyyodudet]

@XxGhostboy187xX prolly missed a lvl

[sandres3000]

Helps so much

[EvilHesh07]

any pointers on how to actually get to the part with the mac im freakin stuck and im getting pissed lol

[Kamjared]

so do you need hologram

[Bloodysaber]

Did this without holograms and it worked just fine.

[irishmigit]

So duo you need holograms or just jump in nat the last second and win?

[greenjello818]

lol thats just dirty

[R3MYYY33]

i love you this helped so much

[PMAN46]

the plasma pistol makes this game possible to beat on legendary.

[JamesL88]

possible to do without the hologram armour ability?

[IMMRTROLLMAN]

@JamesL88 just did it then didnt die on mac cannon just get in get out wait for your call

[retepnesnaj]

Holy shit thank you i swear to allah theres no other way in mohamed town to do this buddha damn mission...

[SKYLERsTube]

Thank you so fucking much man, helped a ton!

[rabidwolfable]

i cannot tell u how much this helped. thank you 

[MrXboxps3wii]

nice job :) i used the same way :P

[rubykrueger]

hahaha thanks, never woulda thought

[LeonSKennedy515]

jesus christ thank you. i was stuck on that damned MAC cannon for like half an hour trying not to die

[und3adars3nal]

omg dude u saved my xboxes life thx u r awesome

[TheTizerChief]

ohhhhhhhh my god i love u m8!!!! thxs so much! fuck yeh just completed legendary! thx for the vid!

[Faze9784]

I did it the hard way. It kinda sucks that Bungie made it like this.

[wingzer20]

thank you but i passed this 30min after i posted this xD 

[ASwedishSmurf]

@wingzer20 kill the floating guy, he gives them the shields. plasma plast an elite and head shot him with dmr

[projectzero545]

done it omfg i love you!

[Junior1556]

if u put scoring on do they give you the points 2 buy armor?

[srgwarcock]

is that really a MAC Cannon? i thought they were bigger

[SuperRaywilliampenis]

LOL! Tyvm! :) Why didn't i think of this lol. Almost solo'd legindarayys "Girly shriek"



[AnimeLovinBlackGuy]

Thanks man, it helped me from breaking my controller!!! lol

[UDIEIKILLU]

dude thank you so fucking much wow i finally beat the entire campaign thanks ;)

[987devil]

before u can get to the cannon u must kill all brutes and then elites then u can get to the gun

[BKF666]

@987devil I made it to the gun with them still alive it activates a checkpoint. The problem is the canon fight seen starts and you still have to kill them all. Killed them all and made it just in time to shoot the cannon.

[biohealz]

i must be fucking do something wrong cuz i dont even see a door up the the big dumb fucking gun i have to fight 15 fucking waves of brutes with my bare hands its fucking bs

[biohealz]

I dont know how to even get the fucking cannon the other nobel takes it and idk how to get up to it

[Tehbeastlives]

Guys just hide until the corvette cets close enough to shoot then get in and dont worry about the phantoms

[Deeelon9]

i loved Emile, George and Carter

[otty178]

@Deeelon9 Jorge actually

[Deeelon9]

@otty178 well whatev, now adays i bet it would have been George, did the sniper guy even die?

[hectichorse]

Lol people who couldent think to do this are retards :P I did it by actually hiding under the gun ( oh and before I saw this video )

[mdplyr442]

OMFG CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT U HAVE TO STAY IN IT TO BE A SPARTAN U ELITE :p

[DominantdanyRS]

Well... I just got five achievements for 360G thanks to this video! THANKS!

[NewbieSam07]

YES thanks :D

[repliod]

omg u r a live saver

[Canadarm123]

Poor emile... His body is just lying there slumped against the wall.

[BeagleBMC]

lol i can't imagine this,

thx

[KhaosStrife]

Wow thanks for the assist.

[Zorgon183]

OMFG TY I NEEDED TOO DO IT EASY WAY

[lalalalllama]

omg i fucking love you

[alexanderlund91]

lol

thx :D

[samuriguy909]

you fail so hard

[FamilyGuy3424]

Buck to Carter

Dare to Kat

Romeo to Jun

Mickey to Emile

Dutch to Jorge

Rookie to Noble Six

[EffectiveKill]

fuck.. once i saw the easy way.. god i am such an idiot

[tande32]

yeah, did this strategy shortly after I failed a few times, so much easier.

[medhurst4]

that last trick you did worked like a charm all i did was sit at the stairs and when it was time to shoot i just and i finally did it lol

[woodsy542]

i doubt any1 will but my gt is Woodsy245 and im stuck on the bit before this with the elites and i was wondering if some1 cud talk me through it over live and see if it helps me? message me if u wanna help

[S1xYears0ld]

@woodsy542 Humm u mean the part with the drop ships? or the overshield elites. i used a plasma pistol and a DMR...i idk if u need to kill the engineer but i did.

[medhurst4]

@S1xYears0ld i killed it cause that way the elites won't get overshield any more and you can just pick them off

[woodsy542]

@S1xYears0ld I tried using the plasma pistol but im pretty terrible with it. the oinly DMR i find has hardly any ammo. I have an AR with fulll ammo and a fuel rod cannon with 9 shots but the elites always dodge it. I speent most of yesterday trying this one bi and i just couldnt even kill one of them.

[lastmexicanhero123]

@S1xYears0ld yea when u kill the engineer their over shields come off or turn off w.e. so it makes it easier

[MrNosrebor]

@S1xYears0ld thank God for the plasma pistol right? the DMR+that= awesome!

[thmauth]

@woodsy542 what sucks is ign's guide has been helping me through it but it stops at level 7.

[xXFL4WL3Ss]

@woodsy542 Plasma pistol and a DMR thats all you need buddy.

[insidejokesarelame]

@woodsy542 use plasma pistol to get down sheilds and dmr to get headshots it's really esay if u do it like that also make sure u kill the engineer
