I tried to load Halo today. Turns out I need a new disk, as it said "Players failed to load content". Quite irritating. Also pre-ordered Halo Wars LE for Friday!

Ok. Three times back to back, I made it to the Scarab. Things just seem to go wrong for me. Firstly, my *insert expletives here* marines kept manning the missile pods. This caused the Scarab to not spin around helplessly like I planned. Instead, it kept shooting at the marines, who as soon as I kicked off the pod, instantly jumped back on. Anyone else have trouble with this, and if so, is there a way to "convince" the marines to leave this to me? At this point, I may as well rush the Scarab, since I've nailed the first half of the level. I can't stomach more then one try per sitting since I always get to the Scarab now.

In other news, all three times I've run to where I left the warthog, after killing the AA wraith, the next room is always empty. I do give it a minute or two, so its only use is if you don't want to chance getting grenade spammed. I can guarantee one level I won't be playing for a long time after beating it. :(


In regards to the marines on the missile pods, I figured out their behavior at one point. Two marines will come out of the doorway you go through later and move to use the Missile Pods prior to the Scarab's arrival. Just walk over to the Marine when he gets on it, kick him off, and walk away and none of the other Marines should make a move for it.

I'd say wait about...two to three seconds before making a run to the Missile Pod and unleashing hell on the back armor plating. Don't start firing immediately when you get on it, give yourself a second to focus your aim on the back so the Missile Pod will lock on to it instead of a leg or something. Try and have a Bubble Shield with you so if you see the Scarab turning toward you you can get off of it and drop the Bubble.

I'm closer to attempt 100 than 30. Turns out that run, the marines were more attached to me. Instead of at least crouching in a corner when I used the pod, they surrounded me. This actually led to my death, since several of them crowded around me, and when I saw the AA turret start to turn to look at me, I backed off and tried to make a run for it. I got stuck in a square of marine love, a second before being taught how to fly by the turret.

Fail 1: Covenant killed me
Fail 2: The lazy marines who made a small pile of grenades killed me
Fail 3: Indirectly, marines killed me.

I see a pattern. Next time, I feel they will be more blatant in their quest to stop me.


Yep, once a marine turned round and shot me directly...with a Rocket Launcher. They do hate you, but remember it's 'cos they're jealous.

Anyway my internet connection has hit an all time low and playing on XBL is now not an option unless I want to lag something awful, this however has one good point: I can focus on Mythic a lot more.
Speaking of which: I've got one irksome problem with Tsavo Highway - after skipping the very large fight in the middle of the mission the Wraith is always there to back up the Choppers which are impossible to hijack or destroy when there are Snipers and the Wraith's two weapons aimed at you. Then the Wraith becomes impossible to kill because of the pair of Choppers guarding it. According to the walkthrough (and every video I've seen so far) the Wraith is supposed to move down to the battlewhich I just skipped. Unfortunately this doesn't happen for some reason and the Covenant setup kills me every single time. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Same here, we should play together, no doubt, hands on.

Will do. Hopefully, I should get it Thursday, because I ordered it to be delivered, and a few off my friends that order games get them a day early.

Oh and Gazas? Would you recommend your video of Tsavo Highway for someone who's having a few strange problems? Or is it more of a "everything went fine" run?

Did you try clearing your cache?

As regards to the bubble shield, where should I get one if I use it to get through the room to skip the Chieftain? Do the brutes on the choppers drop them?

And I do this how?

  • 02.22.2009 4:59 PM PDT

Go to the dashboard.
Go to settings.
Select memory.
Press Y.
Press X, X, LB, RB, X, X
Select yes.
Cache cleared.

That was at least the process before the NXE. I tried to find the guide, but the search bar is far more than useless. Be aware it will delete recent films and stuff. That's mainly what I wanted the guide for, to see what exactly got cleared. I'll google it and see what I can find.

Edit: It will delete TU2, so you'll have to get that back. Just make sure everything you want is saved.

Uh...then you're kind of screwed, because going toe to toe with Choppers, Ghosts, Phantoms, and, worst of all, Marines with Rocket Launchers driving around...well, there aren't many good outcomes for that.

I seem to forget that a good deal of people choose flight over fight in that room despite the fact it's not a difficult battle. I guess that's one of the bonuses I can list for fighting that area out: you get to keep a Bubble Shield.

Well, I was curious as to whether I could save my bubble, while still running like a little girl. Turns out, most of the time, I probably could. I stared at the Chieftain a good 3 seconds before he even reacted, which is plenty of time. Well, after successfully making it through, I thought to myself, hey, why not continue? I'm happy to say your suggestion sorted out the whole marine business. It probably helped that I shoved as many marines as I could into the jaws of death. I then spent an insane amount of time carefully shooting the wraith.

Sadly, luck was not with me. What makes me maddest about this death, is I got "shot" behind one of the pillars. Apparently, the Scarab doesn't actually have to hit me. I didn't feel like fast forwarding through the ridiculous 54 minutes (yeah, I took my time, and about 40 of that was messing with that second lake bed.) to see exactly what happened, but from what I saw, a shot or two hit the wall right behind the pod, and one more must have hit the pillar behind me... And I died.

This should help you jew man.

The best thing you could do is crouch (well from my experience). As soon as you see that thing turn to you and start firing blue arrows of death, crouch directly behind the front part. Behind the pillar you're still vulnerable, but if you crouch as close to the window as possible, about 95% of the time it'll pass harmlessly over your head, provided you don't stand up while they're going through the window. Hope it helps :)

I say give it a watch. I don't remember much of it, but I do remember some stuff that may come in handy for you. So watch it.

Well Sierra 117 is down, this time while my online was actually working, so that's technically the second time I had to complete it. It's on my FS too for viewing, so I'm glad to have all the proof this time. It also means I've just got Crow's Nest and The Covenant left to do now and considering Kristov has finished 5 levels, I'm gonna have to hurry to that 11th spot before it's snatched away in a photo finish.

Great job! Two to go.

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,
The Tyrant

Crow's Nest is the most difficult of the two, so I'd recommend getting it out of the way since you were already brave enough to tackle The Ark in advance :-)
