Congratulations! Any level can be considered a proper level, my friend :-)

It is. I blame other games that have come out recently or are coming out soon. Why, today the only person on my friend's list playing Halo 3 was Tyrant.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

yeah I blame Gears of war 2 I don't really see whats so good in it anyways as soon as a go on the computer i always check this page for more posts.

Im still trying to convince my parents that xbox live isn't as bad as they think and that it doesn't use as many downloads as they think. Does anyone know the exact amount of downloads halo 3 uses on average if you play for an hour?

I just thought that if did do slaso than i would most likely be the youngest person in the world to ever complete it!

Possibly.

I don't believe it downloads unless there is an update for the game you're playing or for the dashboard itself.

Took a break from Mythic yesterday to play some grifball. Apparently someone from the other party ended up on our team and started betraying right away. One of our team members quit pretty quick, but I refuse to lose the exp, so I stayed in. We didn't win, but the other party was so terrible that I managed to score regardless of their cheating :-)

Do you have a data limit then Muzza? Seems old fashioned :p

EDIT: "xbox live generates about 10MB download and 6MB upload per hour of play. "

Wooh, I just did Floodgate and got it on my first try :D. It's in my fileshare.

I guess I can join the Mythic group now but I won't feel worthy until I've done a proper level. :p


Ah yes. I just got around to checking the memberships. You're approved now.

Hey guys, I'm going to be at Johns Hopkins tomorrow. Can one of you keep an eye out for HBO and post links to the Cortana walkthrough and the new coverage once it's released? I have no idea what time I'll be back in DC.

Man, I'm like...the only person who is still just a Member. I blame my inactivity...I mean, I've been a Heroic member twice. The first time I lost it probably because a topic of mine got locked. The second time? I have no clue.

I'd at least settle for Honorable Member. Oh well.

No idea what the status thingies mean. I'm just as shocked of my status as you are of yours.

Honorable Member is based on Ban History. As with Exalted and Noble.

Man. Mythic feels so easy now after I've played Call of duty: World at War. LOL

Seriously, there's something wrong with the game, the Veteran difficulty is insane. I was sneaking up on some Germans when 7 grenades all of sudden flew right in my pocket. 10 times. This minute.

I'm finding Veteran easy. I'm currently about 5/6 missions in. Wait till you get all the Death Cards then try Veteran with all the Death Cards on.

Cool, SLASO there too....and I kicked my own ass trying to beat your score in the CoD4 F.N.G. How you got that time, I'll never know lol. And how do you survive all the grenade throwing and one shot kills out of nowhere?

SLASO translated into "SVADCO" - Solo Veteran All Death Cards On.

But again, SLASO isn't hard enough in Halo 3 so we made Mythic instead. So in CoD, it should be.....what comes after Veteran..? Chuck Norris?

I'm sure the skulls were added because of the fact that the regular Legendary campaign has been toned down quite a bit in comparison to the previous two, but also there were no achievements or statistics back then, either. You had nothing to show for it except a feeling of self-accomplishment. Mythic is for those who want a challenge like that. One that is perilous and tough and shows no tangible reward. To prove your own skill and dedication towards the campaign side of Halo. It's the true "Legendary" of Halo 3 that was implemented in the first two installments of the trilogy.

As far as I know, the only way to play Halo 2 on Mythic is to go through the game once, collect all the skulls, then go through it a second time with all of them activated. But I'm not even sure if that works exactly. In short, they aren't selectable in the Halo 2 main menu, so it's pretty difficult to even get to a position where you can play with them all on, if that's even possible, through the entire campaign.

I remember when me and my big brother found the Halo 2 blind skull. We didn't know how to turn it of (if you can do that) so we had to start a whole new profile, for when we wanted to play campaign :( Anyways, I'm going to start doing SLASO as well, when I get my xbox back in a few days. BTW Muzza, you said you might become the youngest person ever to complete SLASO. I'm 14. You?
