Legends say that marine went on to become a Spartan, after a thousand successful missions, he was gave the name “Mint Blitz”. True story except for the parts that aren’t true lmao
It's all about the approach angle. If you're driving towards something that is moving perpendicular to your direction of travel, it won't work, but if you are moving parallel then it gets them every time.
Not just that, they have a cooldown when staring locked on to a v target but if you spin around, they fire immediately when they reacquire a target, so weaving and doing donuts makes them much more deadly
@@aussiegamingandreviews3427 i neglected to mention this is one of the rare missions where You can carry the weapons you're holding into the next mission. Floodgate always resets to AR but you can start the storm with a fuel rod (and give it to a marine of course) if you ended tsavo highway with it equipped. I truly thought i had seen a carryover from crows nest to tsavo highway but it might have only been in coop or i remembered wrong
@@cosmictreason2242 I like that weapons carry over from mission to mission as it makes sense because they take place literally just after each other, crows nest weapons don't carry over which I guess could make sense as they could have been lost or broken in the elevator fall.
I always equip my marines with rocket launchers and fuel rod cannons. They shot down every single covenant drop ships before they could even unload their own troops.
My favorite thing to do on The Storm is get a troop hog and load it up with rocket Marines. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever used the mongeese in that level at any point since I first got my copy of Halo 3.
@@aussiegamingandreviews3427 it takes more work cause the marines are eager to start driving out the door but once you get situated, get a checkpoint at the door before continuing. You should be aware you will definitely die more from marines shooting the ground in front of you because they're locked on to a scarab leg which LOS is through the object, and sometimes the legs themselves are too close when they shoot and you die from splash, BUT aside from that, it does zero the scarab faster and is suitably fun
I've been trying to get people to play like this for a long time. Only on solo legendary can you get 4 fuel rod marines at the end and it's a completely different experience. You restart from checkpoint not out of exasperation but joy for prolonging the game session
@johnpikathemusician271 unfortunately this area is one of the only areas in the game where there is a troop transport + Enough Marines + Enough Fuel Rods to make this happen.
@mechadestroyer9817 I do it on legendary as that's where the most fuel rods are so this is possible. Ya just gotta look after your marines as if they are in a retirement home so they survive lol
I wonder when someone else would do this for years, it can be a little hard to do at times. Though from my own testing it seems the BR is as or more effective
Depends, br Rifle can be more effective against infantry but in proper vehicle sections explosives are the way to go, but the only way to really do it is only legendary to get the really powerful weapons
@@aussiegamingandreviews3427 Kind of reminded me that, however, I can say if the drivers are exposed the vehicle will be inactive due to head shots to the driver/pilot, so, using against tanks wouldn't be useful
@@Apple101012 while I can see it being useful against those types of vehicles i still thinks its quicker to just blow them up, luckily whenever you have access to troop transports usefully somewhere in the section there's some explosives.
What he said. If your secondary is the same as the marine weapon you won't be able to switch your primary with him because you'd end up with two of one weapon. So you have to be creative. And be advised you only get the troop hog on Solo and you can only gather 4 fuel rods on legendary because enemies with them don't spawn at lower difficulties, such as the chieftain in the first chopper section
@@aussiegamingandreviews3427 legendary is hard but they still take out the phantoms for you and having a fully loaded fuel rod hog after that portion is so fun. Once they somehow managed to trigger the end cutscene without me firing a shot, they were so destructive in the final area, so chaotic. Hilarious to watch the final chieftain with the turret diving for his life over and over as blobs and grenades keep flying at him
0:26 that marine sniping that brute out of the air was awesome
The halo 3 Marines do be clutch sometimes
"DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY"

@JudyAtEather and during those missions all the other marines were amazed at his ability to turn 1 shot from a fuel rod cannon into hundreds of rounds
Jesus Christ I was about to comment that ,

Yea angling it properly can get hard on legendary cos it can sometimes cost you a few hit which could be the difference between life and death.
@@aussiegamingandreviews3427 That setup you had in the first section with fuel rods supported by beam rifles was pretty neat though.
Not just that, they have a cooldown when staring locked on to a v target but if you spin around, they fire immediately when they reacquire a target, so weaving and doing donuts makes them much more deadly
I always give marines the power weapons for this reason. I get 4 total rockets, they get infinite
They get more use out of the weapons if you can manage to keep em alive.

Keeping my marines alive like this was a really fun self imposed challenge, the no marine left behind run.
@SparePencils and as soon as marines start dying you revert to last checkpoint

the first time i played this game, couple years ago, i was doing the same and saving marines.

I have never done that on the storm, I just use the mongeese lol
@@aussiegamingandreviews3427 Seriously??! Hop on and try it when you get the time, my man. It takes a bit of setup, but it’s a lot of fun!
@@dawgwiddaglasses will do

@@cosmictreason2242 I just uploaded a video of it last night and yea...... it defo took some work lol
Halo Infinite Arcane Sentinel Beam squad has a predecessor.
Yes indeed 🤣🤣

Yea its hella fun gearing up your Marines with certain weapons and unleashing hell.
I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES THIS!
@@LockeLynx haha this video seems to have attracted the Halo players that actually had fun kitting out the marines 🤣
@@aussiegamingandreviews3427 I usually do this w/ either fuel rods or Rocket launchers. Make my Warthog a mobile anti-armor/anti-air battery
@@LockeLynx it's so much fun ngl
@@aussiegamingandreviews3427 and plus, NPCs don't need to worry about ammo like the player.
ENDLESS ROCKETS!!! (Provided they don't die.)
@LockeLynx exactly, so we can have gun with the weapon, leave 1 shot in it and let the marines cause chaos with unlimited ammo!!!!
I want to see a longer video of this haha 😆 this was both the dreams coming true and nightmare all in one 🎶
@johnpikathemusician271 unfortunately this area is one of the only areas in the game where there is a troop transport + Enough Marines + Enough Fuel Rods to make this happen.
This is Tsavo Highway Right? Man I never really thought of that? 😱 you’re right
The OG Rocketback
Yea 👏
I've noticed MCC they are much more prone to falling down at the get out and walk segment but they CAN make it still. Just need coaching.
Yea I went back to last checkpoint like 8 times cos the fuel rod Marines kept falling off lol
Halo Infinite + 5 marines + 5 arcane sentinel beam + razorback much better!
At legendary difficulty, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING is destroyed in 1-2 seconds.
W strat L game
0:35 fanum tax
Amazing fun, I'm going to have to try this out!
I do recommend, it is hella fun
This looks so much better than halo infinite 😮
It is so much better than halo Infinite lol
Yes, amazing. 🤩
I use to do this back in the 360 but only on like normal and heroic difficulty never legendary
@mechadestroyer9817 I do it on legendary as that's where the most fuel rods are so this is possible. Ya just gotta look after your marines as if they are in a retirement home so they survive lol
I do this all the time.
Wverytime I play the mission I say I won't but I end up doing it anyways
Now if only we could do this with the boys in multiplayer…. :(
It's stupid how only AI can get in the back
A Classic
Now do one with rocket marines in the transport hog fighting a scarab
On the storm
Done
Very goog
Hell yeah
Hell yea Indeed

How did you get marines the fuel rod cannons? Maybe I have a regular copy, but they never seem to take fuel cannons, rockets yes...🤠
I hold X to give them the guns, but you can't be holding the same gun they have otherwise they won't take it.

There are a couple brutes throughout the level that have em on legendary 🙌
What is this?
Is the anti-aircraft wraith but better
@rafelingk.6582 literally except you can actually use this lol 😆
infinite ammo hack
the beam rifle is prob a bit safer tbh
Yea but against vehicles I wouldn't use it
