BCM8 - Seven extra Marines and a hog fast

Halo, level 5 ('Assault on the Control Room') on Heroic. This shows how to use a PAL descent trick (seen in BCM7) to get seven extra Marines and an extra hog below the first bridge. Moreover, I'm doing things fast enough to stop any of the four Pelican Marines going inactive (a temporary shortcoming you could otherwise have), and thereby stop them becoming permanently invisible to the enemy. I also take the play far enough for you to hear the special 'hidden' 16-second all-clear speech from Johnson. For full details and written commentary see here at my site: http://www.badcyborg.net/Halo/Movies/BCM8.html

Note: You don't HAVE to do things fast. You can take as long as you like (maybe using a different descent method) and still get the seven extras plus hog. It's just that the Pelican Marines will initially be frozen. That's ok though; they can be unfrozen later. See my article on the trick, and BCM41.

@OrangeSodaKing It's always nice seeing a covie get blasted by his own side eh? That Grunt couldn't quite dive far enough clear. As for the speech, that came as a complete surprise when I encountered it in 2006. There's a small article about it at my site, in the level 5 fun section.

Everything about 1:48-1:53 was pretty awesome!! I had no idea that there was a hidden speech by Johnson.

@ace1122tw Hah, I wouldn't go *that* far. I'm still learning new things here and there, and there's a load of stuff I still need to explore. Hope you liked the vid anyway.

You beat this game to death. It seems like you know everything.
