Okay, I'm interested, but there needs to be some things cleared up:

-Does zero saves mean no saving whatsoever, and you must play all levels without stopping, or does it mean no saves through the levels, but you can come back to the levels?

-How are people keeping track of who's done Mythic? Is it only on their word, do we have to produce a video, or is there someone out there who can find out if the claim is true or not?

Sooo....all the plasma pistols from the 100 downed grunts are gone....and all the BRs upstairs - they're gone too! I was going for ammo and the weapon case wasn't even there. So I'm gonna jump put and let them kill me and this time, the case better be there lol. The disappearing weapons are pissing me off.

That was always very annoying. Never could find a pattern to it. Sometimes they disappear, sometimes they don't. The good news is once you play the level about a 100 times, you'll find you don't need them as much anyway.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

1) Zero saves means you can't save during a mision. In other words, you must complete each mission from start to finish without stopping. Yes you can pause the game, you just can't save & quit. You can do the levels in any order as long as each mission is completed in one run.

2) People usually do two things to prove authenticity. The first is turning on campaign scoring. The second is saving the films to their file share.

If you beat the mission while online, it will show up in your Bungie stats and will show which skulls were turned on.

- No saves during a level. (I.E. You cannot "Save & Quit" during Sierra 117) The Campaign doesn't need to be done non-stop.

- We have a group and a completer list for Mythic. All of the people on the list have game stats and videos in their file share as proof. Check out the Q&A on the first post. If you have more questions, someone will be happy to answer them.

What does the Achievement say when you've unlocked Legendary? We should make one for Mythic ;-)

There should be a Mythic Achievement in Halo 3: Recon.

So Tyrant, get this...

I scored higher on my Floodgate run than I did on the Storm.

In part because you did it quicker. Major time bonus for keeping it under 20 minutes.

Alright. OP talks about it as if it was a real, intended level type by Bungie, yet I've never heard of it. Does Bungie support it or something?

While it isn't an actual achievement on record, it has been recognized by Bungie.org (HBO). Since Bungie has not given us any input at all after nearly 4000 posts, HBO may be the closest we get to calling it "official".

Well that's not fair, I did have the best help from you guys so it took me pretty far, pretty fast =)

And the Tsavo Highway walkthrough will be up tomorrow. Rest up! You'll be dealing with Choppers and Wraiths next. Muahaha!

No but seriously, beating Crow's Nest as your second level is a HUGE accomplishment. I tip my hat to you, good sir!

I think they should make it an official gametype, but for Online only. Here are my reasons:

-The first is that it would definitely boost the amount of people who sign up for Xbox Live and play Halo 3 Online. People see that the game has even more to offer Online, just like people see H3R as more to offer (just about everyone here is going to get Recon, so why not Mythic?)
-It would solve some of the malaise Online about lack of interesting updates.
-There's no problems with it; it's perfectly sensible and well-worked. There could be a reward for doing it and no punishment for not doing it.

Tsavo Highway is very easy compared to them two.

A Quick Tip: You can skip the main Brute fight in the middle. With the Fuel Rod Gun Brutes and the Phantom's land etc. Skip straight past it.

Also, I cannot get 2 seconds faster in Floodgate. I need 2 seconds to get the same time as Pahat Pojat. I've got 4:24 about 4 times now, it seems whatever I do, I cannot beat it.
I'll keep trying, one day I will beat it.

Yep. Included in the walkthrough so you'll get a visual of how to do it :-)
