How about venom instead?
Then again, this is an 'alliance' mission. Falcon would be a good choice too.
Scorpion was in addition to the Wraith. Falcon only would add another interesting element.

If anyone thinks that makes it "too easy," speak up.
Damn this mission was annoying.

Escort, Hack, Hack. Thought I had glitched the last hack then I finally noticed it wasn't moving. It was a real pain. This went slow. Couldn't get the Atlases to play nice. Wraith kills Atlases faster. Vid will be up tomorrow.

Nice. On the bright side, you finished the most annoying challenge in the series. ![]()

Yes. Well that and the first 6 times I got at least one set of devices, always with the crap device in the middle. Got sync killed 5 or 6 times at least (mostly when my punch didn't stagger).
The turret locations are pure BS, as is the fact that they would run to the path of any escort to drop turrets in it when it would start if Wave 6.
Atlas spawns and pathing makes controlling them a pain. As does the fact that the lower side of the map doesn't actually have any cover.
Nemesis snipes are completely out of hand. Got doubletapped by a single Nemesis more times than I can recall that ever happening before.
Fists of fury (redo)
Since requirements changed, I redid this. 10 secs faster than the other run. My missiles were absolute derp (one was on a lone phantom, one on a lone atlas, and one just on a phantom + 2 guardians). All that smoke BS, ridiculously quick movement, and atlas' ability to tank missiles made me mess up my rockets. Stuck with wraith mainly because I can make quick work of atlases with AP ammo. It helped a lot as I farmed atlases on waves 5 and 9, leaving nemeses and phantoms alone for the most part.

I will upload the video for this later.

Reqs for Mission 10 updated (in a sec)
I take back what I said about Fists of Fury it is bad. The constant smoke grenades, heat seeking missiles, cheating Dragoons and Phantom nonsense is driving me insane.

Yeah it is a tough one.
It's like the Nurburgring time trial in GT4. ![]()

I never did manage mission 34.
Boom Stick- Pizza>Devices> Escort
Everything about this was bad. Actually got synched TWICE during wave nine trying to setup killstreak missiles. Got gunned down by a Marauder on the first and somehow managed to shoot a rocket during the animation the second time. Took Survivor Loadout and I think I used all of them.
Now I have to try to get sub 35 on two solo's in a row??? This could be a rage-filled weekend.
Mission 11 - Hybrid Synergy
Yeah those chicken fuckers hit me at time 0:00 on the LZ when I thought I was standing there nova-canceling like a boss


But I've got news for them: I;m too drunk to taste this chicken.
PS. 10 HS medal is hilarious.
On a more serious note.
Mission 11 - Hybrid Synergy
Hack, Hack, Escort. Early in the day I had been trying this and kept getting devices on 6 with the crappy device right in the middle. And I wasn't having great luck moving the Scions so they couldn't hit me without wasting too much time or too much equipment (had one run where I needed 2 missiles, a gel and an ops to get the devices). Went out in the evening, then came back and did this run. So besides objectives, I apparently found the key to playing Novaguard is beer. I should have gone closer to the crates at the end so I wouldn't have been killed at 0 seconds. I was hit by a scion right before that and since you practically can't do anything due to their bs, I was killed.
Mission 12 - Reap the Whirlwind
Packages, Escort, Hack. So this was my third total attempt. I had done one earlier as a break from other challenges and went AP ammo with EB EM, and did ok up until Wave 10 Escort where I apparently didn't dodge behind an APC in time. After I completed Mission 11, I tried this one again and switched to HVB EM and Warp Ammo, but I didn't like that with pure weapon passive spec it didn't seem to want to fire infinitely, which I wanted to do just for ultimate Rambo mode. And I might have been killed on 8 or 9. So this run I switched to just AR Piercing for faster CD and infinite firing. Not that you can really just stand in one place and fire forever for some waves. Against Banshees the HVB spec is slightly better, at least if you can't get a good RHA spot to fire at them forever.
I successfully glitched the Wave 10 hack. And then when I was dodging an enemy I unglitched it. So that made it a little tougher than it would have been.
***
I might go back and redo a few of the challenges. M11 is one just because I didn't extract which annoys me a lot more today than it did last night. Then I think M10 w/ Wraith will be my white whale challenge that I want to complete. Also thought about redoing M3 with the melee character (which was always an option... did you wonder why the Scimitar was a weapon?).

No Kassa for Alarm
33:22 - TheNightSlasher (282 470 pts)

When I got devices on wave 10, I was a bit worried but luckily all of them were far apart and were well-covered. Thankfully, the device of doom on the central crate didn't feature among the four. Also, I died on wave 2 which meant I had to survive waves 3-7 to get the 5 WS medal.
Anyway, this should put me on the completionist list and also fetch me all medals.
Lolsilver VI Overlord (PET)
12:13 - Knockingbr4in (154 271 pts)
Very sorry about the worse-than-lolpotato-ipod quality screenshot, my cam is away for some reasons. I thought I'd do this one too (even though it's lolsilver) because I like geth and there can never be enough geth.
HoF updated!

No kassa for alarm (Silver) with 10 WS


Fists of fury (Silver)


Too many devices involved D:
Devices are terrible on some maps. Maybe I should have left out Hydra and Jade.
