Hey guys, the Vidmaster Challenge: Classic achievement CAN NOT be earned if a passenger in any one of your vehicles fires weapons.
The easiest level to get this achievement, I think, is on Uplift Reserve.
Anyway I tried twice using the Warthog, and beat the level without ever firing any of my weapons, but I let my gunner rip loose. Unfortunately that counts as firing, if you're in the vehicle when he does it, which is annoying.
But on my third try I figured out what to do, and it's actually even easier than using a Warthog with gunner. I figured having a gunner would be preferable to the faster ghost, but I was wrong
Easy way to get the achievement:
Grab the Warthog on the hill with no passengers, and then just start driving. You'll have to dodge choppers, a ghost, and two wraiths. You might die a lot but eventually you'll figure which side to dodge them on and get a good route.
When you come up on the first ghost you can take, take it, then just start boosting!
On the part where you have to go up a hill with a bunch of turrets to your right, you can hang left, but generally you're too fast for them so they don't do much damage.
Likewise the area that composes the "LOST PLATOON" firefight level is pretty easy, just boost past everything. The Wraith gunners will hit you, but you shouldn't take much damage. Don't forget to stop boosting in order to make a sharp turn.
After that the only part of any worry is when you're coming up a hill and you'll deal with a couple more turrets, but just boost past them to the part with the big landing pad where the marines are entrenched. There is a healthpack down there, grab it if you need it.
From that point on it's easy and you can really just turbo boost past everything with no worries at all.
You could try to beat it in a warthog by yourself, but I think the 'hog is too slow.
Should take less than 10 minutes to beat the entire level doing it like that.
