*At the beginning of the Highway, there is a tunnel that leads underground. You will find four [[Rocket Launcher]]s, with 1,000 rockets (2 loaded in the Rocket and 998 on reserve), and two [[Mongoose]]'s. These only appear by putting the [[Iron Skull]] on Legendary. | *At the beginning of the Highway, there is a tunnel that leads underground.

* If you are having a problem getting a checkpoint when you open the gates of each section, make sure that: Everyone is close to each other and in the gate at the same time; You are not shooting at any Covenant and they are not shooting at you and Dare's Olifant has not moved completely out of the gate. A Cooperative checkpoint is not the same as a normal Checkpoint (Cooperative Checkpoints are where you start the level from if you save/quit). | *If you are having a problem getting a checkpoint when you open the gates of each section, make sure that: Everyone is close to each other and in the gate at the same time; You are not shooting at any Covenant and they are not shooting at you and Dare's Olifant has not moved completely out of the gate.

*Although walking the whole level is near impossible, if you find yourself stuck on a certain part, try getting off your Mongooses or Ghosts and start walking. It is easier to aim, easier to see, harder to be hit, and you will have twice the number of rocket launchers firing. As long as you can deal with threats to the Olifant quickly, walking the section is a valid option until it is completed. | *Although walking the whole level is near impossible, if you find yourself stuck on a certain part, try getting off your Mongooses or Ghosts and start walking.

*For the passage containing all of the drones (the 2nd or 3rd), it is helpful to keep the [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] to deal with them, as hitting them with rockets can be quite difficult. | *For the passage containing all of the drones (the 2nd or 3rd), it is helpful to keep the [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] to deal with them, as hitting them with rockets can be quite difficult. | ||

*The achievement is named due to the similarity to another Vidmaster Challenge achievement: [[Vidmaster Challenge: Annual|Annual]], which also requires the [[Iron Skull]], 4 player Legendary live co-op play, and finishing in a [[Mongoose|light]] [[Ghost|vehicle]] (as walking is not suggested due to the [[Oliphant]] being faster, and on legendary can be destroyed in a matter of seconds from enemies). | *The achievement is named due to the similarity to another Vidmaster Challenge achievement: [[Vidmaster Challenge: Annual|Annual]], which also requires the [[Iron Skull]], 4 player Legendary live co-op play, and finishing in a [[Mongoose|light]] [[Ghost|vehicle]] (as walking is not suggested due to the [[Oliphant]] being faster, and on legendary can be destroyed in a matter of seconds from enemies). | ||

*Déjà | *''Déjà vu'' is [[wikipedia:French language|French]] for ''already seen'' and means having a familiar feeling; as if you'd have already been to a new situation previously. This is a reference to the [[Vidmaster Challenge: Annual]], which has similar requirements. | ||
