Coastal Highway/Walkthrough: Difference between revisions

Once you're up on the highway, get into the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] and charge ahead of the [[M312 Elephant HRV#Halo 3: ODST|Olifant]]. On Legendary you will need to use the spare Warthogs most likely so keep a ready eye for alternate rides. Stay to the right side of the highway, and drive straight and fast. Your only priority in the start is to take out the [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod]] Grunts near the blast door. Once you've run them over, keep driving in circles until everything is dead. Do not pass the blast doors yet. Stay in the open highway area and clear everything. Once you've cleared that, take a second and swap out ''both'' of your weapons for the Fuel Rod Gun and the [[M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|Rocket Launcher]] on the ground near the door, or give the Rocket Launcher to Buck if you already have ammo for it. Take another second and evaluate your ride. How beat up is it? If it's on fire and the wheels look like they're going to fall off, grab the Warthog near the door. This is a [[M831 Troop Transport|troop transport version]], and you can give Buck the Fuel Rod Gun or Rocket Launcher and let him go nuts. He will take out far more enemies, far faster than on the turret. If you still have a good Turret Warthog though don't abandon it just yet, it will come in handy in the next section. The next section is filled with Jackals and Brutes. Drive quickly ahead of the Olifant and let Buck sweep out the enemies. Once you reach the second set of blast doors, don't go inside. Wait for the [[Yanme'e|Drones]] to fly out and kill them in the clear. Buck is very efficient with the turret and the Rocket Launcher for this. Find a new ride and get in before entering the blast door. The next area will open and reveal a great number of Deployable Lookout Towers, but only two will have Fuel Rod Grunts. Buck and his turret/Rocket Launcher/Fuel Rod Cannon will make short work of them before they can harm the Olifant, just stay ahead of it and keep Buck's line of fire clear. A the end of this area there will be a [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Gauss 'Hog]], but Buck will not man the turret if he still holds the Fuel Rod Gun or Rocket Launcher, so hop in the side seat and Buck will sling his Rocket Launcher and hop on the turret. Get out of the seat and heal up if you need to before driving on to the next area. Once the door opens, there will be [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] attacking you. Move forward cautiously and let Buck handle them. [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]] will approach from the right side of the highway, Buck's rate of fire is fairly slow but he is extremely accurate. Beware of the Ghosts as their plasma cannons can finish you off pretty quick. You should always keep ahead of the Olifant as it is very vulnerable. Drive cautiously dodging plasma mortars from the [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] on the left, but keep a clear line of sight so Buck can shoot it and keep the focus off the Olifant. Once the Wraith is dead, move forward and clear the rest of the enemy Ghosts.
