I'm just dropping in to officially announce that I'm participating Monthly Mythic Challenge which starts next week.

I just started playing SLASO about 2 weeks ago and still haven't passed the 1st level yet but I'm sure I haven't been giving it the time or patience to do it correctly with the semester winding down and this being finals week. I figure the Mythic Challenge would be a great way to celebrate the end of a very rough month. :)

Awesome! I'm going to start keeping a list of people who have announced they will be doing this. Best of luck to you!

I'll have a go as well, maybe I'll get motivated to do Mythic a bit more rather than Team Snipers.

I have found out something on the Covenant! If you do not skip the first battle, the crate with the Fuel Rod Gun on the ledge overlooking the first tower area will not contain a Fuel Rod Gun. Sure, the Chieftain that you can kill has one, but it probably has next to no ammo, compared to the guaranteed 20 that comes with the one in the crate.

Edit: Well that is a stupid death if I ever did see one.

Battle in the first tower. Absolutely pwned them. BRed the Chieftain's helmet off and killed him, he drops Invincibility. Killed the second to last of his Brutes. I went in with Cloaking on to assassinate the last Brute and he managed to notice me and melee in my direction when I attack. I lose my shields, and my shields start recharging as he dies. His melee manages to set off a nearby Spike Grenade. It's okay, I'm alive but with no shields. The explosion flings another Spike Grenade at me and kills me.

So I deactivated the final tower. A Flood Combat form with a Plasma Pistol killed me. He did a leaping melee and I tried to swat him out of the air. His hit landed first.

Oh well. I got to test out my strategies for that tower. Worked like a charm. Sniping Brute Stalkers = win. I took out the Chieftain's shields with a Beam Rifle.

Standby. I'm pretty excited for this month's challenge, seeing as how I'll get to compete this time.

I went out and upped my modem, and I am now currently happy to be clocking in at 23.2 Mbps download, 2.83 Mbps upload. And that's after going through the router. I cant wait to try out meh connection when I plug my 360 straight into the modem, and devote my full connection to it. Mmmmmmm...

Not really he can do it in 4:15 so he doesn't have to worry about time at all.

Halo will always be THE BEST Sci-Fi shooter franchise of all time.

personally i friggen hate the flood and cortana mission because it creaps me out i have never been a fan of zombies,or clowns,or puppets they just freack the crap out of me i might try this but i probably wont because i hate cortana mission with a burning passion on any difficulty.like when i help friends beat the game on legandery i hate doing that blasted lvl the only part i thought was awsome is when you finnish the lvl on solo the arbiter is Ramboing it up with a flamethrower XD.

I used to hate Cortana because I always got lost but now that I know hte enemy spawns it's not too bad, although ever since my first Mythic run (I got to the reactor room) it's like all the Flood on the Bridge expect me 'cos they've all got weapons and half of the Pure forms are of the Ranged variety just waiting to use me as target practice.

ODST Mythic Conqueror #2
Reach Mythic Conqueror #2
Halo: CEA Mythic Conqueror #1
Halo 4 Mythic Conqueror #1

I tried my hand at a Mythic Floodgate today. I got about as far as that bit where you have to cautiously BR the flood that are in the corridor. I killed them all, triggered the ones from the roof to fall etc etc, then 2 I didn't notice gunned me down in 2 seconds with a Spiker and Plasma Rifle. Considering that it was my first ever Halo 3 Mythic, I don't think I did too bad. I did Halo 2 on Easy with all skulls on and that was definitely way harder; not just the invisible snipers or drones or anything for that matter, it was just getting all the skulls in the first place that was hard. Personally, I never want to do the IWHBYD skull in Halo 2 ever again...

My recommendation for the bit you died at is to just trigger the enmies to spawn then let the Arbiter kill the whole lot of them while you peek out of your hidey-hole and watch his sword slash back and forth.

Yeah, but look at the medals he has to achieve within those seven days. Then read the little article I posted about them in the medals thread. Now tell me doing that in seven days before anyone else even completes it regularly isn't deserving of a few M$ points. lol.

They certainly are meant to be a challenge. That's why we divided the Conquerors into classes and created the medals for each specific class.
