    Dome of light- get the 2 bonus reactors, have spartanks already over where the covenant 'outpost' spawns, so you immediatly destroy them, keep 3-4 wolves, 1 spartan wolve protecting the first rhino, you will need back anti-air turret for banshees. just spam tanks and wolves, keep your spartans in a vehicle at all times, and your good to go

    On beach head, tech into ODST or Vulture when you get your new base. Use one of your starter Spartans to jack a Banshee and have it die near the Scarab for an early Scarab jack. Also, don't forget the nearby supply elevator. You can take that with one of your starter ODST groups before you even kill the first covenant base.

    On Reactor, take the first base and start upgrading towards Gauss while using your first few Spartans to do major damage to the base on top of the hill. Avoid moving the Reactor with the Elephant untill you have EASILY enough force to get it onto the hill tops. Don't forget elephant upgrades at your main base like twin engines.

    Re: Mr. Punctual

    This is a general guide, obviously some tips are impossible on some missions:

    Every mission, put all the helpful skulls on, except boomstick.

    Put your Spartans inside vehicles.  Always have at least one tank, the other two depend on what you need to counter.

    Get ODSTs.  These serve as a meatshield for the rest of your units.  Your army should be over half ODSTs and then a few vehicles.

    Tanks are powerful against pretty much anything, just make sure you move them away from Hunters once their health is low.

     

    This got me through all the missions fine.


    There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't

    dome of light is hardest for mr punctual, especially if ur trying legendary at the same time

    but most of the levels are much easier in coop - dome of light does take time and effort though ....

    one big tip = KILL the covenant outposts in all the levels asap - that helps a lot

    glad to help, pumping tanks, and wolves, on beachead (try to keep mostly tanks, be sure to put up a barracks to take that supply hook around your base, your going to have to be playing definsivley for quite awhile, so i believe i teched large turrets and had 3 anti air, and 1 anti-infantry turret.

    if possible use a spartan to jack 1 banshee, and 1 banshee ONLY, use that banshee to fly around and destroy the single summits that the covenant has (be careful not to let it die, and stay away from these base's and turrets)

    be sure to buy the bases that the covenant HAD, after you destroy them and immediatly spam turrets and pads on those base's.

    whitch 1 is flood?, and is anders signal the one with the proto-grave mind? because all you need to do on that 1 is spam wingmen, or chaff-pod hornets. (with spartans in them, you can mix in warthogs and hornets if you want)

    Re: Mr. Punctual

    Thanks guys. just got Beachhead complete. w/in 53 mins flat. now I just have

    Anders signal, the flood & reactor left to go.

    I believe anders signal is the one w/ the one and only level that features the brutes, the flood noy sure and the reactor is the one were you have to get the reactor to the top of the hill.

    Re: Mr. Punctual

    Anders Signal

    1.Train lots of marines out of the elephant and try to kill as many brutes as you can and protect the elephant until red team comes in.

    2.Move all your units to the beacon and lock the elephant down then send your units to the other elephants (the other elephants are captured by the flood).

    3.Rescue the ODSTs then CB the flood launcher and build loads of SPs on your base.

    4.Next move your elephant to the front of the base, bring the rescued elephant to the base aswell and send all your units to search for more ODSTs and the last elephant and CB any flood launchers on the way.

    5.Bring your rescued ele phant back to your base non stop ASAP.

    There you go I hope this helps you I got par time on this level exactly like this :-).
