where is there a sniper rifle on Tsavo Highway?

Once you get through the first vehicle barrier, and across that long strip of highway. It's on top of the big build/arch/whatever that you enter through. Should be on your far right when you enter the area. Eh, somebody can probably describe better.

It's where the Wraith attacks you and the marines. It's inside one of the medical tents.

I think, I haven't done it in awhile.

You're right, there's one in the back tent as well. Wow, you could get a full sniper on that map.

well, I've managed to narrow the list down to just overkill, but it keeps eluding me. I get triple kills, and then some guy runs up and kills me in embarrasing/evil ways.

anyways I was wondering what the BEST method for getting it is

for getting 4 kills within 4 seconds of eachother?????????
in free for all?????????
that requires so much luck I'm not even trying-double kill was hard enough

Getting an overkill is not luck, it just depends on what the situation is. Overkill was very easy on Halloween.

I got it twice in Lone Wolves, once in a FFA Swords match, which is no longer on the playlist, and again on Snowbound. I was in the shotgun room, with the shotgun, and I killed everybody that came in the room, and got an Overkill.

true, I realize that.

however, getting an overkill with a SPARTAN LASER?
seeing as you only get 1 shot, that seems to be luck only-they have to be in an almost perfect line.
that is what I meant when I said that requires so much luck im not gonna try(im not)

so far, the best weapon has been a machine gun turret in a king of the hill. stupid needlers

uhh... 5 shots. Each with a three second charge time.

Plus the overheat which means you can't shoot twice in enough time to score a double kill.

Aumaan Anubis · Post by **Aumaan Anubis** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 6:51 pm

Not necessarily. Have you timed the overheat?

Rockymods · Post by **Rockymods** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 7:32 pm

Excluding the overheat it will take 6 seconds to fire the lazer twice, which passes the 4 second limit. Only way I can think of is to lazer a few people in a row and then melee some with it...

CORRECT for 2 e-cookies

except that by that time the person you are meleeing has shot you and meleed you-as in you are dead.
even if you killed tham, a triple kill with a spartan laser? too unlikely to try.
so, I'm still not trying it

Use BR; play lone wolves; throw grenades; let them die.

Host them on imageshack, then copy/paste the code they give you.
