How Long Can I Survive Halo 3 ODST's Legendary Firefight? 

The way they executed firefight in this game was absolutely great. A halo horde mode was perfect for this game. I just wish it was recreated in a more similar way in future games

I remember playing this with friends when ODST launched. Good times, good times.

Back in the day my brother was friends with CMNeir and would often help him make his videos. He would occasionally let me play with him while they were filming. I have a memory burned in my brain of trying to get that firefight achievement Everyone was dead except me, and it was the last round before we got more lives (we had 0 lives). Being like, 11 at the time, the pressure to perform was enormous, and I wanted my brother to take my controller. He refused to take it, and I spent the next 30 minutes sweating my butt off trying to do everything I could to stay alive I survived, and we were able to get the achievement. I’ll always be grateful my brother not only included me in stuff like that, but also pushed me to be better. Fun times.

Vidmaster Endure was the one achievement I could never get. You did an incredible job in this run. Also Alpha Site is the best map; no contest.

6:02 also the Tilt skull applies to you as well and makes you take less damage against most enemies in ODST because you don’t actually have shields. It makes the game easier overall.

11:45 there is a captain in the bottom right (just under the sign) that sticks you before you backsmack another one. ODST firefight has been my favourite iteration of firefight, being slightly weaker and smaller makes the stakes feel so much bigger

Endure was the second to last vidmaster we completed. I remember getting constantly bombarded by friend requests after completing all the vidmasters and unlocking the recon helmet. I proudly wore it in every matchmaking lobby but I quickly found out every single kid is gonna see it and beg that you drop everything and help them do it too. Every time I played BtB it meant at least 1 or 2 friend requests and maybe a message. Still never switched helmets though.

This game is absolutely legendary. The unique enemies their weaknesses, and just the way they don't act like a total npc. They can actually dodge stuff

11:47 the spike grenades triggered other spike grenades on the ground so it was a chain reaction

This has easily becoming one of my favorite halo channels gg

I loved ODST, I truly do miss it. Doing the Recon Armor "quest" was so gratifying.

Lost Platoon is my favorite. Love driving the chopper. Just got back into Halo MCC as I just found out about the flood being added to ODST firefight. Need to find more people for that achievement too.

Ah memories. Got all vidmaster challenges with some friends before Reach came out to get the Recon helmet

absolutely fantastic vid dude, i was glued to the tv for so many hours playing firifight with my brother as a kid 😂 bring firefight back!

With skulls turned on (especially ODST) your best bet is to committing to back smacking the brutes. Majority of the time if you get close to them they'll stop shooting and charge you (It's doable with multiple charging you too). Plasma and pistol is also great too but close quarters just commit to back smacks. Also would love to see a SLASO playthrough on a mission or content! I bet you'd make a crazy video on it. Love the content!

Ah a frog after my own taste. We share the same favorite ODST firefight map! I am impressed! This is the map i got the vid master achievement on back in the day. Man would it be great to go back

What a champ. To this day Endure is the only vid master I haven’t gotten cause of my crappy internet. However hats off to you for soloing a harder version of it

Great vid loving the halo content

Finally, a good halo content creator 🙏🏻

Oh and also a flood version would be nice and i have an ideal loadout Carbine full ammo: start using since the first time you see it because famine can suck A Hammer/brute shot: Both the hammer and brute shot can one-shot all pure flood forms Why the carbine and not the BR is because eventually tilt will turn on so shielded flood becomes a problem to the BR but becomes a breeze to the carbine

Did this on Alpha Site myself with 3 good high school friends, we did all the ODST/Halo vidmasters, definitely took months to get them all but we had a ton of fun doing runs, spending hours a night just to fail.... only to succeed (eventually) xD

Lost Platoon is the best map to play if you want to endure legendary firefight for as long as possible. Spartan laser for wraiths, chopper for taking out enemies from a far and great distance to safely evade... usually.

Never had friends to play Halo. If you need friends for ANYTHING Halo. Hit me up!

I just discovered your channel and i am rapidly BINGING through your videos. Love it. Im into it. Fwiw, i used to be a part of the trick jumping community, and was very active on High Impact Halo.... I wasnt any good, but i was definitely there 😅

The production quality always makes watching your vids worth it. Thanks

Remember having a lot of fun with endure back when odst came out, did all the score achievements for odst when the multiplayers were shutting down for 360 and it really took me back. Wish we had endure etc on MCC so I could get the rush an additional time.

That was really dang good, not only are you a fantastic halo player, that match of firefight was AWESOME

honestly amazing you did this solo, even with a full team of 4 this is rough as guts

ODST has the best firefight in my opinion but id like to see reach too :)

This made me wanna play ODST again X)

frog video on a sunday made my day 🙏 keep up the work man 🤘

ODST's firefight is honestly more fun than reaches firefight, when they announced it was finally coming to mcc i was so frickin happy

Ahh. Vid master. That achievement is ridiculous not cause of difficulty but because of lag. It got so bad we were getting 10 frames a second. Took almost 3 hours to complete it. This was back in maybe 2016

Love the videos. A good halo RU-vidr is always welcome to me

Not gonna lie, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite RU-vidrs. I love seeing the notification that you posted!

Ahhh the Benny Hill song w/ Halo reminds me of some of the old school Halo Machinima’s I used to watch.. loved that. Great run btw!

9:12 That brute gave a whole ass speech while you walked past lmao

Dude if you want to do this vidmaster then LET'S DO THIS! I when ODST premiered and now I have nobody to play it outside randoms in matchmaking :(

I remember having to do this in order to get recon back in the day. It was even on this map. It was such a long firefight but definitely one of the best achievements/rewards in all of Halo.

Awesome work, man! My favourite ODST Firefight map was Chasm Ten. Playing all night with my mate and never switching that HUD light off :D

You need to submit this to Anoj's Halo 3 Top 10 Series Episode 44: Firefight Kills.

If you ever want to do Vidmaster Endure, let me know. I’ll be totally down to play with you.

LAST ROUND IN THE MAG 13:36 that was AMAZINGLY BADASS low-key best fps clip outta the past three years, that was amazing bro!

I’ll play a firefight group, my friends hate halo so I’m forced to grind by myself 🤣

I was glued to this video bruh, so engaging

Wow, Frog is amazing

Dude, I just stumbled upon your channel and I can't believe you have less than then10k subs, great Halo content, incredible presentation and edition on the videos, congrats!

Firefight has what other horde based shooters don’t…. satisfying metals and points that make you feel all happy inside

Good job bro keep it up

Well done man. When you're fast forwarding a late round hunter kill and the clip is still around 10 seconds it really expresses the pain you went through at that current moment. 🤣

Holy shit, to me this is an achievement beyond epic proportions. Then again, I'm pretty casual myself. Good work, great video. I like how you edit.

Such a niche video. But I enjoyed it. Subbed. Hope to see continued success!

Entertaining stuff man keep it up (:

This is my favorite halo channel

I'd love to see you do some non-speedrun guides of the Halo series, like a guide on your deathless/John Wick runs

I can only really get past the first set so I'm impressed. Great job

The fact you and that chieftain did that at the end was amazing

Fun fact! The silenced SMG can headshot drones killing them instantly, so if your aim isn't as good as froge, you cam just grab an smg off the rack and hold down m1.

well played! upload more solo legendary gameplay! :)

Geez, Legendary Too! Great Video my dude.

I love the concept of the spike grenade

RU-vid seemed to change their algo so you get random smaller channels, and I gotta say I like it. This was a fun video.

I love this games especially the firefight, loved playing it with friends and my brother.

I couldn't get the vidmaster Endure achievement back in the day. not because we couldn't do it, but because we couldn't get a stable connection long enough to do it. It was so frustrating, we rage quit when we lost the host with 2 rounds to go. nowadays I lack the friends to beat it :)

You're a Legend P fr 🎉

Christ bless you, bro this was so sick good job

I remember getting the endure achievement back in 2011. Some randoms from halo 3 matchmaking were using the mythic disc from odst & asked if I could help them out with getting recon helmet. We stayed up to 5am getting endure & the next afternoon we did the achievement for coastal highway legendary with everyone in mongoose with those 1000 round rocket launchers. Never seen those 3 people again after that. From my experience the best way to deal with drones was the smg or assault rifle.

That’s how the frog rolls

Bro use that silenced SMG for the drones, easy work! Respect for playing on Alpha Site, that’s my favorite Firefight map as well.

GJ frog, proud of you!

ah this brings me back. way back when they had these achivements to unlock the coveted recon armor in halo 3. Everyone wanted it and so did i. I also completed the 4 sets solo. However as it turned out you needed to do it with 4 players on online coop in order to get the achivment. So had to do it again. Hilariously it was harder with 4 players coop because healthpacks, resources, and lives would be lost very quickly. Although getting the achivment was definitely a fun time. a particular statagy i loved was pushing the 4 crates into the chokepoints so you would not get overwelmed too quickly and could take your time taking out larger targets as well as hit groups of enemies with grenades. But it took teamwork because you needed 2 people to push each crate and you had to get it done quickly between each round. ahhhh good times.

Good video

You're the coolest.

Next halo reach

Yo I would play any firefight with anyone it's my favorite gamemode. Great vid.

Every time that last wave music hits “You know the music, time to dance”

"If he was any better he'd be a Spartan"

Well done Frog!!

I remember lasting a fairly long time when I played with my cousin, our teamwork was pretty solid, a lot of it was aggro management so we were consistently getting that backstrike

Doing the vidmaster achievements and getting that recon armor in Halo 3 is still one of my greatest achievements in life

The hardest challenges I’ve ever done on a video game, I did every vidmaster, just for the recon armor in halo 3 😢 but man did I feel good afterwards

Dude, I'd it with you. It was hard for me to find "friends" to get that achievement with. Plus, I love the older Halo games and Firefight. I've been itching to play it again for some time now. But... I'm all alone so I'd get destroyed in a heartbeat.

I understand Bungie probably did not want for players to just camp in their spawn or otherwise be able to "stop" the game by being there. However, I always did find it very harsh to allow enemies to enter and stay in the player spawn area. Having enemies like a Chieftain or Hunters there was not fun

I remember playing this mode for hours back in the day

If he was any better, hed be a spartan

Can we all take a moment to admire how well these graphics still hold up?

That “Never change Jackal Snipers… Never Change” I could feel in my *soul*

I remember getting to set 12 on legendary solo, and the game had lasted for 6 hours or something. This was like 15 years ago 😂 I’m gonna go buy an Xbox and start playing this game.

I remember me and a friend would carry two other people for Vidmaster Endure, when Halo 3: ODST came out originally.

halo reach has the best firefight tbh... being able to customize the waves and just vibe with firends was fun AF

Its easy to tell you're a big Halo fan. Its my fav game All-time. Thanks for the video 👍 I prefer using whatever weapons I find on the ground in each round but will use your strategy next time for a high score! Btw - what's the highest # of kills you've got in Reach Firefight?

I remember playing this with my freinds SO MUCH. We would always crank the speed up and the gravity down with extra blast resistance so we could rocket jump all around the map al night long.

On maps with vehicles, if you can pull off the wraith glitch (where you simultaneously kill the driver and get in) maybe you'd have a fun Strat to work with? I did it on normal difficulty and went to town on all the enemies

We need a part 2 it'll be how long can frog survive flood firefight on legendary

I tought you could change spawn location even in solo FF, isn't that the case in Halo ODST? Great video anyway, brought back a lot of memories

"I survived 100 days in ODST Firefight"

11:47 there is a brute at the foot of the staircase that throws a spike grenade at the same time the brute in front of you throws a grenade to your left, so as you move right to avoid the grenade on your left you move onto the grenade the other brute threw.

Damn I want to know where you got that thumbnail, sick!!

In the outro you often recommend a video - it would be awesome if you could include referenced videos in the description. It can be hard to click the video on screen, when there is no video on screen to click (ie, not all player interfaces support cards/etc. - would also be nice for when youtube makes changes that break embedded/interactive content yet again.)

Ahhhhhhh the memories. I miss my recon.
