    Google how to reset Reach challenges. If you do it with only one of the challenges one time, you should NOT be even looked at by the autobanhammer, since they're looking for people actually abusing it.

    Is it from Perfect Dark? Looks like it. I don't know those map names, though.

    Yup. It's Area 52. Here's a map of it from GameFAQs, although some of the proportion is off on the map:

    Yeah. Not many people really play it much. There's a small dedicated fanbase who sticks with it but not really anyone around here much. Several of us have it; I still need to grind out xp sometime; but I'll be honest in that it's unlikely I'll be committing any time to wars anytime soon. Too many "new" games to play from the steam sale and whatnot.

    Huh, looks like there's an exception in the game, now. The Elite at the start of Nightfall doesn't count towards killing campaign Elites for challenge purposes.

    It's glitched in general. Some elites don't count on other levels too, and only 2 ever counted on Nightfall when I co-op'd with Rat, even though I killed like 5.

    The first elite that jetpacks up when boarding the ship on LNOS isn't counting, but the ones below do.

    Yeah, that's my thinking. I've had some success with the infinite spawn in Long Night, but it's slow as hell.

    If anyone wants to do a quick Winter Contingency run for the weekly, let me know.

    Protip: Steal the Wraith on the platform, position yourself so you have a clear shot at the drop-off point (the water is just a soft kill-zone), then pop the turret on the Spirit as it comes down and murder the infantry as soon as they hit the ground, rinse and repeat.

    It's a hell of a lot easier than ARing them all, that's for sure.

    EDIT: Got it in about fifteen minutes, along with Blastin' And Relaxin'.
