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,

So, Tyrant, what do you think of Muzza's idea of a UNSC weapons only run? Does it seem probable to you? Right now I'm kind of thinking over the levels for portions that would be insanely difficult. The Motor Pool quickly comes to mind.


I don't think it would be. How would you take down areas with a large number of Brutes without help from allies? Particularly with Cowbell on, it's tough to get enough grenades to deal with every Brute. Add to the fact that frags can't stick and that makes things even tougher. Unless you plan to Kamikaze most of it (and even then), I can't imagine it being doable. If you or Muzza can accomplish it, sure, I'll add it as a medal. I just don't see it as feasible. There really is no human answer to the plasma pistol, plasma rifle, or needler.

The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

I got a reciept for Halo Wars Limited Edition this morning, still can't believe they did it but I'm not complaining =)

Anyway, I think I'll probably explore some Kamikaze stuff now.


Happy birthday and cool about the Halo Wars, I've got it pre-ordered too. :-)
Also how is the kamikaze walkthrough coming along?
Thanks =)

I'm 50% done on the last area in The Ark.

I still need Shadow to send me the clips for Sierra 117 though.

I've pretty much got to agree with you on this. I'll admit, I'm good at improvising, which is how I was able to think of methods to fight through levels without the Plasma Pistol and without human weapons...and some of those methods are applicable to this idea, but in the grand scheme of things, even I can't do all of the Campaign that way.

ATTENTION:

February's Monthly Mythic Challenge is now announced and outlined. Special thanks goes to Vince for testing some of the new medals personally and coming up with a few of them himself. You'll notice that most of the required medals are new, some have been toned down, and others amplified. About 80 percent of the medals are new this time around and I'd like to thank the community for conjuring many of them up individually.

The challenge begins on February 1st at 12:00am PST and ends February 7th at 11:59pm PST.

I don't know if I would classify Misanthrope as an Ultra level medal, seeing as it involves the entire Campaign.

Random question that I don't think we've addressed before. What medal list would you use if you are doing Multi-Mythic? For example, if it is Dual-Mythic, one player is an Ultra and the other isn't a Conqueror.

Could the medals not be based individually? Or maybe we need to create a set for co-op modes?

How are we going to do this gazas? Email? or AIM? or what? And who else is excited for Halo Wars? I'm pretty sure as soon as our store gets them in, I'm taking mine home to get the Mythic maps before anyone else :). I'll be sure to put up some videos to show everyone around.

Yeah, I'm not online right now. I'm in class currently. I will be able to get them to you exactly 3 hours from now though, if you want. That's when I'm going to be home.

As per the rules, each player would need to complete each medal for his/her class. If someone on your team is not a Conqueror, then only the Conquerors on the team would need to worry about achieving medals. If one of the medals (such as the Replicon medal) conflicts with Multi-Mythic, then I would advise not to attempt it.

Conqueror Multi-Mythic certainly isn't prohibited, but it does make things far more complicated.

Well you won't be getting the maps before me, I've got the LE pre-ordered and I live in the UK so the release date is the 27th of February. :-)
Also Halo Wars looks sweet anyway but if Sandbox does turn out to be an awesome Forge map I'm gonna struggle between what to do; Forge or Halo Wars.

Now, on topic: Does anyone know what causes the War Chieftain and his bodyguards in The Storm to run into the Drone room? It seems random to me because twice now they've reacted differently regardless of my actions: the only variable was that on the second time (when they ran) a pair of marines brought the Warthog into the factory. Are they scared of the 'Hog?

I think there should be multi-mythic medals, such as finishing Halo with each player in a different vehicle or something :).

Speaking of Halo, anyone in the mood to help me get my MyTipsToReach50 account his annual later? I feel kinda in the mood.

Well, we usually get the games in at work about around a week or so before release, so it may be just around the time you get yours. Either way, I think we'll need to hit up some crazy Mythic mappage. And mappage is deffinately a word now.

Hmm. So, as soon as I get home, we can get on AIM, and I'll set up the file transfer, and then I guess we can screw around for a bit while we wait for the files to finish transfering. I want to try out the new playlist update.

May I interest others in some slight Social Slayer action?

As for the jellyfish, I dont think so?

I have a few ideas for Multi-Medals but have been holding off until I can tweak it better. The main conflict comes from Conquerors. They have their own sets of medals to contend with already. If I add an entirely additional set, it could complicate things immensely.

I seem to be having a minor inconvenience. My Xbox isn't reading any discs at the moment. So playing games at all is a problem for me. I'll get it fixed, but I won't be on for a while.
