Ambushtastic

An ambushtastic video of Halo 3 below (also known as How I learned to love the shield drainer).

The video starts with me blowing someone away (with an effective use of the grenade to help take down his shields). After he dies, I pick up his shield drainer. For those who haven't played Halo 3, the shield drainer does exactly what it says on the tin. It drains the shields of anyone who enters the area making it extremely easy to kill them.

Armed with my new shield drainer, I reload and head off in search of prey.

As I come up to the building (around the 15 sec mark), I notice a red dot on my rader so I know an enemy is close. I move into the side of the building and prep my ambush. Of course, the other guy will have seen me on the radar too. However, he doesn't know that I have the shield drainer.

Just before he pops out, I throw out the shield drainer right in front of the building exit. He walks right into it. Without shields, he falls prey to a burst from my assault rifle. However, imagine my surprise when I pick up another shield drainer off his corpse! Perfect - time to find more prey.

However, I am spotted on the ridge and it becomes a mad dash as I try to get into cover before I get killed. Luckily, the other guy is a really bad shot and keeps missing...

I get into cover behind the rocks, quickly reload before popping out the other side of the rocks. Another judicious use of the shield drainer is just enough to give me the edge and finish him off.
