Well, the old adage goes that a picture is worth a thousand words. So I was thinking about doing some movies of Durandal to help people out. So how much is a movie worth? Recon's mum says hers are worth $19.99 for each vid with a option to cancel at any time. I think I'll make my walk through vids for free...
Alright, I know that Durandal can be a little confusing sometimes, and it's easy to get lost amongst the bright shiny Marathon goodness. So while I was playing today, I took the time to record everything. Typically the vids only show the quickest ways to get through the levels. They are by NO means complete walk-throughs. However, if you happen to get stuck on a certain part, come to this thread and download the chapter you need help with and maybe you'll find what you need.
**WARNING** **WARNING** **WARNING**
The videos you are about to download contain large amounts of WIN, you've been warned!

[b][i][u]SUPER HUGE STUPENDOUS UPDATED!!!
Well as some of you may know that Mythica, the site I was using to host these videos went down a few months ago. So while I was at PAX this past weekend I ran into Louis Wu of Halo.Bungie.Org fame and asked about if he was able to salvage them before Mythica went under. He said he did, and so here they are!!!
All links should work 100% fine now. If you get a problem, feel free to post in the thread and I'll see what's going on. I downloaded the 1st and Last vid and both worked fine so I'm hoping the rest are the same.[/b][/i][/u]

Don't forget to add the new achievements. Which level is the Citadel level? [Edited on 08.06.2008 9:45 PM PDT]

You simply have to wait until the next level loads. Which is pretty funny when you're playing Co-op because we'll just betray each other repeatedly until the level ends. ~B.B.

Thanks for the information though [b]BerserkerBarage[/b].[/quote] Let's see. Here is a link to Xbox.com forums where Hippieman had started a text/picture based walkthrough. His walkthrough is far more thorough than mine and will show you the hidden terminals. Unfortunately it is incomplete and I doubt it will ever be completed. I'll give you the link anyways and hopefully that will at least get you started. [url]http://forums.xbox.com/1/14450081/ShowPost.aspx#14450081[/url] You'll need Adobe Acrobat to read it so if you don't have that I'd suggest downloading a copy of it first. Sorry I couldn't be of more help with the hidden terminals but I don't remember the locations of those off the top of my head and I didn't cover them in the vids anyways. ~B.B.

Ugh, apparently Achilles did not include all the files I thought he did. So if you have questions, just feel free to PM me and hopefully I can walk you through the level. I'll see if he still has the vids on his computer and can either re-up them again, or send them to me to re-up. Sorry for any confusion. ~B.B.

I cant get throo were everywhere any help

Yeah, I only played the game before on AlephOne, always been a PC guy. Anyways, I might be able to help you depending on which level you're on. Sorry about the vids not being Quicktime, but up until this point no one has said anything about it. ~B.B.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] robby118 Thanks for making this. I'm having a little trouble on Curioser and Curioser.[/quote] That's exactly where I came in, lol. unfortunately, the guide is only in WMA. The fact that this originally came out on Macs is an entertaining bit of irony I enjoy. anyways. I'm on a Mac, so as a request to the OP, could you look into putting together a Quicktime version of things? I'm not that knowledgeable in the video world, so I have no idea how much work that is. I suspect more than "right-click and click Convert to...." thanks anyways. From the posts, it seems you did a fantastical job.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] manomanom1 No! The website he put the vids on has been shut down! I really needed help with 'sorry dont make it so'.[/quote] What specifically do you need help with? Are you just lost? I'll see if I can help you out. Sorry, I really wish I could have changed the vids over but unfortunately during the time Mythica shut down I couldn't post. ~B.B.

I need to get some MS Points to buy them and the next map pack when it comes out, but I haven't been able to get to the store lately...(I don't trust paying with credit card at too many places online)
-
Oh my God, new maps!
-
Even though I beat the game more than 100 times I still want to look a these. I'm also pretty bored, but yeah where can I find the non-broken videos?
-
Way to go!
-
When are the new achievements coming out? :(
-
Awesome, thank you!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BxR Twister Not yet. Hippieman told me it just past certification.[/quote] The first day that M2D released I downloaded it almost the instant I could. I got into MP and got to play with some of the Freeverse Devs...except Hippieman because he had to go to sleep (it was like 6am EST). I cannot repeat the other things they said about him because I'd get banned. Which also explains why I'm #78 on the "World Domination" achievement list. Now if I can only get Marathon to redownload and stay downloaded after having to switch my 360 after RROD. ~B.B.
