It doesn't really matter. Although the Machine Gun has elements that make fights easier. While the Troop Hog also has elements that make fights easier. There both about the same, depending on what way you use them. A Troop Hog with 2 Snipers and 2 FRG would own.

Yeah but I mean, a normal Hog wouldn't be able to shoot 4 Fuel Rod Gun shots at the same time, would it? ;) Think of the massacre!

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!

The Tyrant

Part of the reason I chose the regular Hog was because there's far less prep time which results in less frustration. It's just load up and go (with the exception of the passenger). Of course, I just find it's easier for me that way. Other people may prefer the Troop Hog method and that's perfectly fine too.

I don't mean to sound as if I only use the Transport Hog. After the third area is cleared, I take the flipped Warthog and have my FRG Marine and any other Marine get in. The Warthog always flips on to a rock, so just wait a few seconds for all the passengers to get out of the Transport Hog and then drive off of it. The Marines should get in the correct spots.

Like I said, watch that portion of my run for the spots I mentioned. I'd love to get a Transport Hog that has two+ Marines with FRGs. That would probably make my day.

...in fact...

I think I'll go do that. Lol.

But technically, you can't get all four Marines shooting at the same time. The best you can get, if angled properly, is three of them firing at something. Granted that having six Beam Rifle shots fired at something will do a good deal. (All AI fire Beam Rifle a maximum of two times before overheating it)

On The Storm you can hook them up with rocket launchers ;-)

...you're right. There is a Transport Hog in the first lake bed. If you could enough Marines alive and take it up past the Drones...

I remember during my Storm run I was having fun watching the Warthog drive around the second lake bed. But I can just imagine the Transport Hog running around, rockets flying off everywhere...

That was awesome. That's what I like about the Transport Hog...if you approach an enemy and are headed towards the left, you get two people aimed at them followed by a person in the back after you finish passing.

and the joy of having no life and gettin this accomplished is what?????

a cookie?


lets make a few observations about you, shall we?

1) you can't even get your 45.
2) you can't even beat halo 3 on legendary without help. seriously now.
3) you say this man doesn't have a life when you are spending your free time surfing and posting in a forum revolving around a video game.

conclusion? you have absolutely zero sound judgement. it's bad enough you yourself have no life, but you suck at the game too.


Suck at the game, my friend you are wrong. i am better than alot so what i don't have my 50 I don't care and you guys sitting on here all the time, you sir have no life. Probably some fat kid at home with 80 bottles of mountain dew laying in your room and no job. While sitting in between mommy and daddy at home playing halo. GTFO!


O boy u servd him lolololololol

lolwut?

You're the one intruding on this otherwise-friendly thread to post derogatory, and unnecessarily critical comments about the nature of this mission and the people out to achieve it. Expect what you give to come back to you, that's all I can say.

I just posted in a topic. Which had a good idea. A Playlist without a HUD. Then everyone could practice and/or get a feel for SLASO/Mythic and get used to the Blind Skull. Its 99% not going to happen, but its a good idea.

Q. Can I have a friend help me complete the game on Mythic?
A. Well then it wouldn't be solo Mythic now would it?

It would still be Mythic though. Just in Co-op. The Question didn't ask for solo Mythic, it just asked for Mythic. Reword that please.

Mythic Solo =/= Mythic Co-Op.
They both include all skulls, no deaths and no saves. So its up to you if you do Solo or Co-Op. Doesn't make a difference. Just we only count Mythic Solo because its a lot harder, and the original challenge was SLASO. (Solo Legendary All Skulls On). So we follow the Solo side of things.

If Co-op Mythic was easier, we would be done by now. Remember, we're defining Mythic not just as all Skulls but also as zero saves and zero deaths...the zero deaths rule is how we are doing CLASO.

The thread is about Solo Mythic. (Isn't it?)

We would have done it. But the problem is, I haven't been able to show up for quite a few of them. Its not the problem of it being a challenge, its just the hardest thing is getting all 4 of us on at the same time which is fine for us all and we are able to play properly for a decent amount of time.

  • 10.16.2008 1:57 PM PDT

True. But I'd still say that Quad-Mythic is harder than Solo Mythic. We don't get some of the options we would like the incredible Arbiter. Not to mention the level Cortana is going to go up a few ranks in annoyance...we can't rush as easily, and our use of Cloaking is going to be restricted...

We don't need the Arbiter :). With our combined amazingness (Yes that isn't a word) we don't need him. Sierra 117 for example. I personally relied on Arbiter to draw fire from the Snipers to clear that area much more easily. But we didn't need him. I wouldn't say its harder, there about the same, Quad-Mythic has its ups and downs, the same as Solo-Mythic. For example, we cannot tell when our shields are down in Solo-Mythic unless we get in a vehicle or a turret, but in Quad-Mythic, we can tell eachother. But in Quad-Mythic the ammo is split even more.

And the equipment. I just made a random realization...there are seven Cloakings on Cortana. (3 in Tilt Room, 2 as you're going up the Hive, and 2 more in the Reactor room)

Of course, we also can carry four times the equipment. A lot of it is really a double-edged sword.

In Quad-Mythic, you can make the tank! 3 crouching (making a triangle) and one guy on top, the three players crouch walk and the guy on top shoots with a rocket,, mini tank XD Haha.
