Ok, this is a dumb question but I am going to ask it anyways. How do you give a weapon to Johnson or the Arbiter? If I kill him and take his weapon will he just pick up and use which ever weapon I dropped? You can kill Johnson with a headshot, does the same go for Arby?

Kill them and swap weapons. They always pick up the weapon closest to them when they get back up. Arbiter will die from headshots as long as you remove his shields. It takes four or five melees.

Thanks, one more question:

In one of the walk throughs it talks about taking Johnsons BR and NOT letting him pick up the crappy weapon that you drop. How would you accomplish this?

The Arbiter and Johnson, as I said, pick up the weapon closest to them when they die. Of course, if there is no weapon close enough to them they will respawn with a set weapon instead. So, when they die you juggle the weapon they had with a weapon you had, juggling the weapon away from the body. On Sierra 117, Johnson will revive with a BR if he has no other weapon nearby, hence how you get him to have the BR you take in the first place because you took all the ammo from his Assault Rifle which causes it to disappear.

On a side-note, I got Fable II...so expect me to disappear for the rest of the night. XD

the Storm... I did it again on my first attempt that day, without using a Plasma Pistol, in under an hour.
I don't think I could beat The Storm in under an hour even without any skulls on, and I would definitely die at least once. I can't even imagine this.

I think the first post of this thread should, in addition to having links to the OP's tutorials, have links to videos of the record times for doing this. By the way, are you even keeping track of the record?

I died at really close to that point several times. It is pretty frustrating, however you will find that your allies are very helpful and can also be very dangerous. Anyone who has completed any level on MYTHIC has been betrayed. Stick with it, you just need a little luck on your side.

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

Finally! I got my cable back :-D

But why does my Xbox sound like it's grinding my discs?

He has over 3 million in Campaign Scoring, and holds all the records for fastest Mythic times.

It's not actually that bad. I've gotten used to it and I've learned that you don't need the HUD at all.

I played with the HUD once and it felt....strange.....I've been playing too much Mythic lol.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Was all that really worth it? Even so good job on achieving the incredibly annoying task of Mythic difficultly.

I haven't completed the whole campaign yet but it's so worth it. It reminds me very much of the Halo 2 Legendary campaign. I also see a lot of things that I didn't see when playing on Normal.

I'll second this. In fact, it's actually quite nice to be able to launch rockets without the weapon blocking half your screen :-) It has started feeling kind of weird in matchmaking with the reticule. lol.

Exactly lol.

I have no school for a whole week so I'm gonna spend the week trying to beat The Ark.

How long did it take for you guys to beat it? I don't mean time to complete the run, I mean from first try, all the deaths, to the finish.

One very long weekend. lol. My first time beating it was actually on a weeknight about four and a half months ago. Took me only a few days. Of course I had also saved it for second to last (like Vince) and new what I was in for.

I see.

I love the Prowler part, the Brutes can't even touch me there, I hide behind a rock and just kill them off one by one. The part after is pretty easy as well, as long as the marines don't push me off. Also the part with the first wraith isn't that hard either since I'm safe in my Chopper lol.

Maybe I should try the second half without Iron as well.

That's actually what I did first. Better to be well seasoned for the second half and make most of your mistakes at the beginning.

On a completely separate note, be sure to check out the walkthrough. The pages have received a massive update, courtesy of Louis Wu, making it far easier to read and view at the same time.
