Halo 3: ODST has a great story, told through the missions surrounding a group
of soldiers who drop into the African city of New Mombasa during the slip space
rupture event players may remember from Halo 2. Whilst this story is good,
there is a second story that has also unfolded and just waiting to be
discovered.

The audio logs in Halo 3: ODST tell the story of Sadie and her father in the
wake of the events leading to our hero being where he is. Its a good story, and
worth listening to. To unlock the story, you must find and use thirty audio log
locations throughout the game. They can appear in a range of forms from a
telephone, ticket machine, medical booth and many more. To locate them, explore
the city with your visor on. They will appear, like the mission items with a
yellow outline, run up to them and hit the activate button to collect each
one.The first 29 of these logs can be found within the confines of New Mombasa,
whilst the final log can only be obtained when all the others have been
collected and is in the mission Data Hive.

As you collect the audio logs you will also unlock superintendent weapon supply
points, containing ammo, grenades and mongooses to help you fight your way
through the city. This guide will provide you with a map and some pictures to
help you locate and pick up those elusive audio logs, pick up the 125
achievement points on offer and let you enjoy a well done secondary story.

***  FIREFIGHT TIPS   *** [FRFGT]
***********************
   *******************

  – Learn where the power weapons (shotgun/spartan laser/rockets/sniper rifle)
    are located on each level and during a lull in the fighting be sure to pick
    them up to make things a little easier.

  – Try for headshots as much as possible, they will award you with a medal and
    give you a higher score than a standard kill.

  – Try to link kills together, a triple or overkill will be worth much more
    than a single, isolated kill. A killionaire (10 kills in quick succession)
    will give you quite a nifty boost to your score.

  – Always keep a plasma pistol or two lying around in the area you choose to
    defend. A charged up plasma bolt can take out an engineer in one shot and
    nullify the shields of any brutes, buggers and jackals leaving them open
    for an easy headshot to finish them off.

  – Don’t be afraid to use fuel rod guns (Covenant mortars)! Their explosive
    discharge and rapid rate of fire mean they can take down a shield and then
    start eating through the rest of an opponents life in a hurry.

  – In close quarters combat, you should always attempt to melee, it is instant
    and usually fatal. Trying to shoot up close is usually inaccurate and much
    less effective

  – Always take cover when the screen begins to turn red and let your stamina
    regenerate. This is especially important on Heroic and Legendary
    difficulties.

  – When encountering stealthed Brutes, activate your visor, then, if they fire
    or are hit, your visor will show a faint outline, giving you something to
    aim at or dodge.

  – When playing with multiple people and duking it out against a hunter, let
    one person distract it and another use the sniper rifle and tap it in the
    weak spot on their back to take them down very quickly.

  – Use the plasma pistol overcharge feature on an occupied vehicle and watch
    it short circuit for a few seconds. Whilst the vehicle is unable to move,
    board the vehicle and plant a grenade (in the case of wraiths) or take out
    an alternate weapon and pop the driver before functionality is restored.

  – If you can get up close and personal with a shotgun, fire away, then
    immediately follow up with a quick melee attack and then fire once again.
    This is an instant kill on most enemies, even on legendary.

  – The brute chieftans weilding those nasty gravity hammers are the most
    challenging foe you will encounter during firefight. One swing from the
    hammer will almost always give you a forced respawn and they have an
    invincibility power that makes them invulnerable to just about anything.
    They can be quite difficult to eliminate. there are a couple of strategies
    to beat them very quickly.

      (i) Firstly, with two people, have one hit him with a charged plasma bolt
          to remove his shield and have a second player quickly follow up with
          a rocket to kill them before they can activate their invincibility.
          You can also do this solo.

     (ii) Have one person kite them around an area, whilst a second tries to
          come in from behind and melee them in the back for an instant kill.
          This strategy will also work whilst they are invincible.

    (III) If you are playing solo, you can defeat them fairly easily thanks to
          this strategy from Jasper Iwena:

             Firstly you need a nice, open area as you will need a bit of space
             for latteral movement. Stand in an open area with the hammer brute
             approaching you head on. As soon as he gets close to you, he will
             make a move swinging his hammer from back to front along with a
             forward jump. The moment he starts making the move, he is unable
             to stop it. As the move itself is relatively slow, it can quite
             easily be dodged by sidestepping. Immediately turn around and run
             towards his back, as he should still be recovering from the move.
             A single melee should do the trick, not even wasting a single
             bullet.

*** Firefight Achievements ***
******************************
All of the firefight achievements CAN be completed on the easy difficulty
setting if you have a couple of hours to burn and noone willing to play with
you at the time. Obviously the higher the difficulty setting is set, the
faster you will achieve the set scores for the achievements, so if you have
2-3 friends who are pretty good at Halo, feel free to stick it on heroic or
legendary and watch your score fly up super quick!

See the firefight tips section [FRFGT] above for more general tips!

Firefight: Last Exit (10g)
Score over 200,000 points in Firefight on Last Exit.

Firefight: Chasm Ten (10g)
Score over 200,000 points in Firefight on Chasm Ten.

Firefight: Windward (10g)
Score over 200,000 points in Firefight on Windward.

Firefight: Lost Platoon (10g)

Firefight: Rally Point (10g)

Firefight: Alpha Site (10g)

Be Like Marty (10g)

      controller, park the first one somewhere safe and eliminate the bad guys
      until the achievement pops! You can do this on the easy difficulty, so it
      should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to acquire.

******************************
*** Vidmaster Achievements ***
******************************

Vidmaster Challenge: Classic (25g)
Finish any level solo on Legendary, on LIVE, with no shots fired or grenades
thrown.

Task: You must complete a level on legendary difficulty without attacking using
      weapons or grenades. This is actually fairly easy and I was able to
      achieve it on my first attempt without dying. During this level you will
      need to keepp your finger off the right trigger: firing a weapon,
      shooting in a ghost and using the warthogs horn will all nullify your
      attempt for the achievement.

      You will want to load up the Uplift Reserve level. Make your way into the
      first area and flip the warthog, making sure no marines jump on the
      turret, during an attempt on a second profile I discovered that their
      shooting of the turret will count as you firing a weapon and will disable
      the achievement. So jump in the hog solo and and quickly continue past the
      wraiths and into the tunnel leading to the next area.

      Jump out here and get into the nearby ghost. Now all you have to do is
      boost through the rest of the level without firing any shots. You will
      still be able to splatter the covenant forces that stand in your way but
      hitting the Right trigger at anytime will cancel the achievement and make
      you start anew. Once you have jumped off the cliff to finish the level you
      will be rewarded with the achievement.

Vidmaster Challenge: Déjà Vu (25g)
Complete Highway on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and no ‘Hog or
Scorpion.

Vidmaster Challenge: Endure (25g)
In Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th Set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.

Task: The best level on which to complete this achievement is on the Alpha Site
      map. the central area is accessible through narrow corridors, and the
      covenant will often have to bottle up as they pass through making it easy
      for rockets, hammers and grenades to get easy multi kills.

      Read on for an ace strategy submitted by Cody Miller:

        on alpha site there is two entrances they can get to you from, one on
        the left, one on the right. the left side seems to get more enemies,
        but if you leave the right side unattended you WILL die, alot.

        Atleast 1 (2 is prefered) people will need plasma pistols (they can
        either pick them up right before the final ‘reinforcement’ of each
        round/set, or they can hold onto them). use the plasma pistols on
        brutes. the guys without plasma pistols will then have better guns to
        finish them off in a quick manner. this makes the final few sets really
        easy compared to what they would be.

        On the 3rd set, you should start moving back from the middle, or you
        will get grenade spammed by grunts. have 1 person on kamikaze grunt
        pistol sniping duty, these guys can make life pretty hard if they are
        not dealt with in a timely manner.

        Once you get the mythic skull activated around the 3.5 set, this is
        also a good tactic to kill brutes/chieftains. Invincible hammer brutes
        are hard to kill straight on, the best way to kill them is have one
        person lure them around whilst another assasinates them, you CAN
        assasinate even when they’re invincible, so this is the only way to
        kill them during this time. It also preserves alot of ammo.

        Also make sure one guy always goes for rocket/sniper/shotgun spawn,
        sniper and shotgun arent really that good, but rocket is pretty
        necessary for some of the brute waves.
