Re: Halo ODST Audio Logs

The below guide is really useful for getting the audio logs

Re: Halo ODST Audio Logs

Best to do them during the campaign as they also unlock weapons caches that are quite handy, means you can keep using your favourite weapon and don't have to rely on inferior alien scum Also a couple have a couple of mongooses in to play with, makes it easier to whip around the map.

You can collect audio logs on your own or in co-op, it doesn't matter. If you have any friends who want them all as well, it'll save you both a lot of time and hassle to do it collectively - just be patient, that's all!

Be warned, though: despite what the campaign menu tells you about saving your VISR data and audio log progress, it still insists on having different details for both your co-op and your solo campaigns. If you have no logs from a previous co-op campaign, you will have to start from scratch, regardless of how many you've collected on your jack jones.

Re: Halo ODST Audio Logs

Just done these this morning.

Took me around 3 hours start to finish.

This is a better guide, its the one I used. Its much quicker when you use the mongooses to get around the city

Re: Halo ODST Audio Logs

Something odd and kinda cheap i found out yesterday regarding the audio logs

My friends were playing co-op and i came online, they ended it invited me on and carried on from where they left off

They soon picked up an audiolog and i had as many as them (half a dozen or so) despite me only being there to pick up one

I guess it means you could join your friend just before they pick up the 30th and you get the achievement

Like Fable II? Oh well, at least it's only the one achievement and not every one in the game .

Be interesting to see if a new player got them all if only joined for the 30th eg the previous ones stacked

but yes, at least Bungie didnt make it "Do x or watch the it happen in theater"

Re: Halo ODST Audio Logs

I finished the game in co-op and missed loads of audio logs. How do I go back and get the missing audio logs (either by myself or in co-op)?

Is there a menu somewhere that lets you go back and to the hub world and play as the rookie?

Re: Halo ODST Audio Logs

Yes - if you've finished the game, you should have the option to select "Mombasa Streets" and play that. Get all your audio logs that way. There should be a few guides posted around with locations.

You might also want to pick up "Naughty naughty" while you're at it (kill 10 of them thar flying "Virgil" things).

Now I'm not completely sure but I think I read that your co-op audio logs don't apply to single player so if you already have some from co-op you'll have to get the rest in co-op too. You may want to check this with someone else though.

Edit: I probably heard about it in Billy's post (#5) ^^^
