It's time for another increase that gamerscore (ITG for short!) This one is for Bungie's latest title, Halo 3: ODST. Many of the achievements in ODST are pretty straight forward so we know what we need to do, but some have different levels of difficulty when trying to obtain them. Another important factor is the number of players you have.
Tips on the Audio Logs:
I would suggest getting these in solo, since you might not always be able to continue a co-op game with someone. In order to get the last log, make sure you have all 29 obtainable logs in the city as the Rookie. You will then be able to get the last one on the Data Hive mission. Minor Spoiler: The Cop that usually dies from buggers before reaching the 9th level, will live if you have 29 logs. keep going through the level until you reach a locked door that only he can unlock. Disobey his order to stay put and follow him into the door to get the last audiolog on the wall. Beware though, as he will try to kill you afterwards.
Audio Logs locations in the game appear as a yellow outline when you are in Visor Mode. Also look out for car alarms and police car sirens as these are hints that you are close to getting a new log.
Collecting Audio Logs will help you with these achivements:
Listener-Find the first Audio Log.
Tuned In-Find 3 Audio Logs, alone or with another ODST.
All ears-Find 15 Audio Logs, alone or with another ODST.
Audiophile-Find all Audio Logs, alone or with another ODST.
Tips on Firefight Achievements:
Teamwork! When you have 4 players in a match, try to stick together in small groups. When being attacked by brutes, have your friends hit them in the back for a instant kill. This even works on Chieftains, so one of you will have to be brave and coax the hammer wielding bad ass to try and hit you, and then Bam! Your friends will nail them with the assassination. This will save the precious rockets and spartan lazer ammo for when you have to take out hunters and vehicles.
Be Like Marty: Easiest way is to play two players split screen. Have the gamertag you usually play as logged in, and play a round on the second controller.
Keep this up to obtain these achievements below:
