I'm in the same position, I've read that you have to hit them in the back where the hunters are exposed.

But saying that I didnt think they could come inside so I went into one of the buildings to get some more ammo and different guns turned round to find the big thing right there, gave me a right shock! :eek::rolleyes:
 
Hunters? Stickies work well, you want to aim for the orange parts of their body, neck, torso and back. Easiest way is to let them charge at you, dodge it and try and hit them in the back.

get round the back of them and there should be a big part of their lower back which is red and unarmoured shoot them there.

So whos playing this on normal, or heroic?

Play Legendary Solo. It's probably the first time I'm playing Halo without rushing forward, all guns ablazing and nading. That Plaza mission is a great example to - play tactically, pick them out, hide and reload again.
 
Heroic here too.

Loving it so far. I'm on Kizingo Blvd. Finding it hard in some places but never a chore to keep retrying different strategies. I find this so much more fun than Halo 3 single player.
 
A lot easier on co-op but god it was a laugh, was yelling "HALT. HAMMERZEIT." every time we saw a brute with a hammer. :p

Plus it's a laugh when you "accidentally" run over friends with ghosts or reverse over them when they want to get in the back of your warthog. :D

Not as atmospheric with mates though because we were talking a lot so not really taking in the great music, plus audiologs only play for the person who finds them, you have to access it manually in the menu otherwise so I've not listened to a lot of them.
 
Done it again. Turned off the 360 before saving and quitting.

I. Hate. This. Game.

I think i have lost my whole campaign up to Kikowani Station where i left off...

Why do you just turn it off :confused:

I died after a very difficult part and was annoyed.

I can't believe a game this day in age cannot implement something so so simple like autosave. It really boggles my mind.

Type in "halo odst save and quit" into Google and you'll find a lot of angry game journalists.

Every game that i have played (bar COD4 and im guessing WaW) has autosave, which means you can just turn the 360 off and when you go back it loads your last checkpoint.
 
Is there actually anyway to get back or near to were i was?

I did this yesterday and i just went to "Campaign Lobby" and picked the mission and played it again. After it goes back to the city I needed to do another mission, but that was it.

Doing this method now, i go to the Kikowani Station, do the mission and when it goes back to the city and i check my objectives only the Kikowani Station is ticked for the "Find ODST squadmate thing".

:eek: Difficulty? How long was that?

Are you guys still playing? I might join you.

Game lasted 3hrs 3 mins on the Lost Platoon map on normal. We used an indestructible warthog for most of it. I was driving and ended up with 930 assist medals, lol.

I think we hate the Tilt and Black Eye skulls which make it extremley difficult.
