Well come this March(the 29th to be exact) I will have been a two year member at Bungie.net. Just this past Fall the web team put in these member titles, which, based on certain things, gave you one of three extra titles, Heroic, Legendary and Mythic. Well when the system was first placed I was speculating what title I would have based on the current quotas that people found out somehow and that would've lead to me being a Heroic member. Well I wasn't at first, but soon found out that the system was still being tweaked and all that. So about a week down the road I log in, make a post on the public forums and find out that I was a Heroic member, cool and that's pretty much where I stayed until this week. Why this week you ask? Well this week I became a Legendary member and stayed for a couple days, then went back down to a Heroic member and right now I am a "Honorable Legendary Member". Now I ask again, how long will I stay there at Legendary. If you go according to a few other people all you need to do is beat Halo 3 on Legendary.
Anyways, ready for some more Mercenaries? I am still going about getting spare parts, stealing cash and fuel and that's just to name a few. I'm still trying to get a hold of the MOAB, I guess it's the best bomb to use in the game? I don't know, that's why I want one...or two or so. I guess I finally did get my hands on the Condor helicopter, which I think might be the largest helicopter in the game. Yeah it's pretty big and I did stock up on a few of them also. On another note, I think I have found an even better helicopter over the Ambassador Gunship the AN uses. The Venezuelan Anaconda. It's got twice as many rockets as the Ambassador does and can carry twice as much 25mm cannon ammo then the Ambassador. Though the Anaconda doesn't have anti-air missiles and I don't how many times I have been shot down by another helicopter due to that fact. I have managed to make three factions hostile towards me, the Pirates, Universal Petroleum and the Chinese(four times now, new record!). I am slowly bringing them back on my good side, I want to have some fun first of all. Only problems are, when I get low on items in my stockpile, I can't get into the appropriate outpost/store to get more stuff and when I get an HVT(High Value Target), I can't get them to extract them for me which is also another problem. As for making the Chinese mad at me for the fourth time, well I don't want to pay up to them quite yet. Seriously, 20.5 million just to get them back on my good side, no way am I paying that. I found a new way to steal fuel/airstrike munitions that are under allied faction guard. Simply find a transport helicopter, I did it with a VZ Condor and an AN Liberator, and put your winch down then latch on and fly away to a safe spot. Then call in for a pick up and you'll be safe from enemy fire and the faction you stole it from won't care about it. I'm not sure about doing it with cash bundles yet, last time I tried it, I went to drop the cash bundle and it sort of blew up...I didn't like that.
Well this week's double exp was Grifball, I never did get the chance to play it since I was either playing Mercenaries 2 or campaign with a friend. Next week's is 3-ball, who knows if I'll play that. Since I am talking about campaign I might as well mention that I going through Heroic by myself. Then I was planning on going through on Legendary on my own. Yes I know, I haven't done Heroic or Legendary on my own. When I first got Xbox Live I only played co-op through to get the achievements and then went and played matchmaking. Then when I got tired of playing matchmaking, I went back to playing campaign for the meta score achievements. Now, I want to play through on the difficulties I didn't and say I have completed the game by myself.
That's all, my next post will be my 40th and it will be devastating. Though close to my 50th, it is not and that one will be good. I gurantee it.

I wish Blockbuster has Mercenaries 2, but they were out of copies... I was looking forward to playing co-op too...
I might try again this weekend, though... leave the house earlier or something...
So I heard, if you do get a copy of it, message me over Bnet or XBL and you can join my party.
