Halo 3: Triple Mayhem

Halo 3 Co-Op with Arth and Wolf

We can MacGyver this back together, I'm sure.

We're roaring through the desert in a Warthog: Arth is driving, I'm on the turret, and Wolf is in the passenger seat. We come over a big sand dune and burst upon a bunch of Covenant. I open up with the .50-cal while Wolf starts chucking grenades. We're making a dent in the baddies, but we're taking a ton of damage from a Grunt in a Turret. I start firing at it, but Arth has other plans. He floors the Warthog and heads straight for the Turret. Before we get there, a Brute's grenade launches us into the air. Fortunately, it doesn't change our direction, in fact it gives us a big burst of speed. We're tumbling end over end as the top of our 'Hog hits the turret and explodes in a blinding flash of light, destroying the Turret and our Warthog all in one fell swoop.

I'm down, and so is Wolf, but Arth is still standing. What normal people would do now is back up and respawn some reinforcements, but Arth isn't normal. He charges into the remaining crowd of baddies and wipes out a half-dozen Grunts and then jumps over a wall of crates to discover that there are four Brutes waiting for him. Arth sticks a plasma grenade to one, melee attacks another, and head-shots the remaining two. Their bodies all hit the ground at the same time as Arth's Master Chief avatar lights up a cigarette while he waits for Wolf and me to respawn.

Clearly, Arth is in The Zone. But Wolf is having a good day too. Later we're attacking a large group of Covenant featuring two Wraith tanks, half a dozen Brute Choppers and two Turrets, all of them occupying a high point on a hill. The way I've been attacking this position has been to swing around to the other side of the hill and attack from the angle they expect me to. Wolf, on the other hand, simply charges up the steep side of the hill, showing off some serious agility. He attacks the tank from behind and stuffs a grenade right down the hatch. Boom! He gets shot off the tank by the other tank and the two Turrets. He's down, but he's shown us the way. Arth and I start a combined assault of swirling around the normal-approach side of the hill while Wolf continues to assault from the steep side, wiping out a major opponent each time. It's not particularly elegant, but it's very effective. We clear the hill, and continue on foot, since every vehicle within a square mile has been reduced to little bits and pieces.

We move up the highway and find another Warthog to ride in. After Arthur's Turret-crashing trick, I decide I'll drive. Arth hops on the gun while Wolf jumps in the passenger seat again. About a minute later we get pounced at the mouth of a tunnel by a bunch of Grunts and Brutes. Wolf and I jump out of the Warthog while Arth supresses everyone with the .50-cal. By the time we take out all the bad guys, Wolf and I are down, leaving Arth alone in the Warthog turret to deal with a huge swarm of Drones all by himself. Moments later, all the Drones are dead. When viewed from above, the bodies of the Drones form a perfect circle around Arth's position. Stylish even in mayhem, Arth reloads while Wolf and I respawn. We hop into what's left of our Warthog (smoking hulk), and go zooming away down the tunnel.
