Vidmaster Challenge: Classic

Vidmaster Challenge: Classic

Okay, you may think beating any mission solo on Legendary difficulty on LIVE, without firing any shots or throwing grenades, may be hard, but trust me it's really not as hard as you think.  I suggest attempting this Achievement on the mission "Uplift Reserve."  If you don't do it on this mission, you will be at it forever, because this is a vehicle mission and you can't throw any grenades or shoot anything to achieve this challenge.  Start:  Run up the path and flip the Warthog.  Get in the Warthog and travel back down the path you just came from and chill there for a little bit, so the marines can clear out some hostiles and make it easier for you to live.  After about 2 or 3 minutes of chillin' back there, proceed back up the path and take a left around the rock hill.  Follow around that and look to your left and there should be another path.  Take that path and you may run into a Wraith, unless you already passed one, they will shoot you, and you will most definitely run into another Wraith, drive around the left side of that Wraith.  Once you get to the Ghost that's leaned up against a rock, there should be a small building to your right, grab the health on the wall of the building and then take that Ghost.  Go through the tunnel and up the hill, but do not use your thrusters once you have gone past the peak of the hill, it will mess up the next part and you will be more at risk of dying.  Once you're out of the tunnel take a sharp right turn and proceed forward.  Go around the bend to the pond and then up a small ridge and to the right.  Go straight toward the hill with the Shade Turrets on it and drive up it just about where a Ghost drives down and starts attacking you.  Once you reach the top of the hill you can either go straight into a room to recharge your health, or if you're bold enough you can turn right and follow the road around to another Ghost.  Take the Ghost no matter what condition your previous Ghost was in because you will want to take another Ghost every time you reach a checkpoint that has one.  Once you've taken the next Ghost, just follow the path around until you can see a Phantom out of the right corner of your eye around a huge rock.  Back up a bit and wait until the Phantom flies away, so it's safe.  Then proceed forward and by the shield is some health, just take it if anyway, weather you need it or not, and then slowly jump over the rail and go right.  Follow that path around to the left while dodging bullets, Choppers, Ghosts, and Wraiths and go inside the building and turn right and thrust your way across the bridge while watching the Space Elevator collapse.  Once you get to the next building there is some health on the left wall by the next door you will need to exit, and near the middle of the room is a new Ghost for you!  Take it and go out the next door.  Follow that path around until you come to a small ridge that you can see over, and there are some hostiles just waiting for you.  I suggest not going straight up that ridge, but taking the path to the right.  Whichever way you choose, you will need to end up near a path that goes up an incline with 2 Shade Turrets sitting on it shooting at you.  Either hit them, or just try to thrust past them.  When you get to a small building, grab the health on the wall, and proceed along the path towards where you will see a Phantom.  Drive left around the back of the large structure in the middle and behind a ridge that has some marines just holding those guys off.  There is some health there near some boxes if you need it.  Heal and keep going to the last 2 marines, go up the ridge and just thrust straight towards the Wraith and go left around it and keep on goin' until you see 2 Brutes running up the hill.  Run over both of the Brutes and follow the path until you come upon some barriers.  There is almost a straight path from there, but you will have to dodge some objects, to the end.  Go on towards the small incline and cross over it, jump off the edge!  You may either skip or watch the cutscene, whatever you choose you should get the Vidmaster Achievement: Classic; once you begin the next mission.  

**Note** If you so much as pressed the button "RT" then you compromised your chance of getting the Achievement for that try, and you must retry.  DO NOT PRESS "RT" AT ALL WHILE ATTEMPTING THIS ACHIEVEMENT!
