Just some general tips for firefight, not necassarily Rally point:
1. Play on easy if you have time
2. 3+ people are reccomended but not necassary
3. Get the Gravity hammer, easily the most useful weapon in the game You get about 1000 points for a hammer spree and 2000 for a dream crusher, melee with B and it wont use ammo, after getting dream crusher, throw a grenade and kill an enemy, get 10 hammer kills, rinse and repeat.
4. Shoot the banshees down with plasma pistols, it takes one half charged shot, gives you about 700-900 points, and makes you feel like a beast.
5.On other maps the vehicles can be used for splatter sprees and vehicular manslauters, then shoot 1 enemy and continue.
If you are doing this on easy
6. This should take around an hour on most maps, and you will probably be on set 3.

Play on Easy alone or with someone else. You will need around of an hour and a half, I did it by myself , but It realy takes some time.

Another way is, with two or more people, inmediatly when the game starts one of you go to get the Sniper Rifle and some one else go get the Rocket Launcher, the one with the rocket launcher, if you want to get points fast, inmediatly destroy the Wairth, and then get inside the building, everyone else should do the same, the one with the sniper rifle go to one of the uper flors and snipe from there, when you are out of bullets get back inside, stay inside as much as possible, these way, you only need to wait gor the enemy to get inide, on Easy it takes an eternity, on Normal it takes hours, so better try it on Heroic if you are four, and if you think you are good enough try it on Legendary.
Every time a round ends go get ammo for both the sniper rifle and the rocket launcher. Continue like this until you get the achievement (if you do this with four people if you are lucky, you may even get the Endure achievement,

If you are a half decent player you can beat any firefight by yourself in about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. For me this was a little easier than with a party because you can rack up multi-kills faster by yourself than when you are competing against a team. You can get 200k before set 4 if you play well.

If you suck at this game however. you will need a party to watch your back.

Tips to get through:

-***The magnum and the plasma pistol are your friends.*** The magnum will one shot kill all enemies in the head if their armor and shields are off. The charged plasma pistol knocks Brutes shields AND armor off, with the exception of Chieftains. You have to shoot the helmet off Chieftains with the magnum to shoot them in the head after you knock their shields down with a plasma pistol. If you can do this, and do it well, you will get the majority of your kills this way.

-Hammers rack up mulit-kills very quickly. Use them strategically and you will get high points.

-Horde heavy weapons. Always keep a rocket launcher or similar heavy weapon someplace you can get to it quickly when Hunters show up.

-Buggers are very annoying. Get them to come to you into an area where their ability to fly is hindered. You can kill them easily then and rack up some nice multi-kills. Buggers killed in ones and twos give crappy points, but in fours and fives they are golden.

-Never camp someplace you can't retreat out of. You will get hammered, grenaded, or cluster f*#@ed if you camp in small spaces. I did use the lower lobby to get out of hot situations and funnel enemies into my guns. ONLY do this if you have plenty of ammo.

-Don't attack drop ships! They give you almost no points, you can't kill them, and they are a waste of ammo. It is better to wait till all the Covenant have just jumped off and are in a large group and attack then.


Good luck and don't get frustrated. I personally finished all firefights by myself. You can do it too.
