I loved playing as the Arbiter because it gave me plenty of opportunities to use stealth to my advantage in combat.

I was always forgetting to use my stealth. Like, I'd just go in guns-a-blazin, and at the end, I'd be like "huh... I guess that could have went better if I used stealth... oh well I'll do it next time."

That next time never came. I just remember getting pissed at the point where you Elite buddy was like "your armor is old, and cannot hold stealth as long as us." so I just never used it.

I'm still hoping Halo 3: ODST has a more challenging Mythic. It's a shame Elites aren't in it. But with the fact that the new character cannot do things Chief could do. It should(!) be harder.
Another interesting thing here would be teammates. We have no Arbiter for example. But do we have brave ODSTs?


I actually had a thread based on this a while ago, where I was wondering if the AI would be upped in ODST. I'd rather not have to rely on people prone on throwing grenades under my feet and driving me off cliffs...

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

True true, the quesiton is if the skulls will be available still, and if they will make the AI go nuts again.

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

I'm wondering if the Mythic map skulls will be connected to the ODST campaign.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I sort of doubt it. I mean, this first set didn't, but you never know. I was listening to an older Bungie Podcast, and got all excited when someone... Don't remember who, said that at the time ODST Heroic was more difficult than H3 Legendary. Then I got sad when they said it would be toned down. I think it would be cool if they included a Mythic difficultly, which automatically turned all the skulls on, but I doubt that would happen.

I've been to busy with the maps and Halo Wars to work on Mythic, but hopefully I'll get back into the fight soon.

I see what you're saying Scapegoat but I think it would be really interesting if they did make it so the map skulls could be used to alter the ODST campaign experience.
For example; we know that ODST is going to a reasonably short campaign, so if there are skulls in campaign there won't be as many as in Halo 2 or 3.
However if some of the skulls were to be hidden in multiplayer maps too, then we could have just as many skulls and more encouragement to play the game in different ways. It's the sort of thing Bungie would do when you look at their record.
Anyway, we can hope can't we?

They have added skulls for the campaign for a reason since Halo 2 so why wouldn't they do the same with ODST? I mean they do know already that people are gonna wish harder game than Legendary can offer.

Plus, people have passed Halo 3 on hardest possible setting it can offer, so I highly doubt that they're just gonna leave no challenge to anyone who wants the game to be harder than Legendary.

I really hope you're right or that what we heard about ODST's Heroic equaling Halo 3's Legendary to be true. Otherwise I doubt the ODST campaign will have as much replay value as other campaigns. Besides anthing else you for one would be bored out of your wits.

True words. They were easter eggs in 2 though.

Well, I must disagree. With ODST being open-world, I can imagine there being even MORE skulls. Especially when you add in the fact that it's going to be in a city with lots of buildings and debris, etc. Then add in the fact that you'll be going "back in time" so the skulls could possibly be obtainable only in one time frame.

Interesting.

I just imagine a world 4 times the size of the level "Halo" from Halo: CE, throw in buildings and debris... we could be looking forever.

I just hope this time around, bungie uses paraphrases for the skull names in the code, so that hackers, etc. dont get around to finding them as easily. I mean really. How hard is it to open up Hex Editor, ctrl F, and type "skull"? Easy mode. Anti-Mythic, if you will.

Here's hoping Mythic is a vidmaster.

I did freak out once at The Ark. A Jackal killed me in the Brute Stalker area.

That was the only time though, I got up and lifted my chair. xD

Other times when I die, I just put the controller on the bed and rub my head, it helps. =)

That's nothing compared to dying on The Ark at the end by a... death barrier I guess.

Don't forget getting killed by a wall panel on Cortana, that is so humiliating.
Personally though I don't get angry at Mythic, rather I just try different things or come back to it in a few hours or the next day. I mean it's not like theres a rush to get it done with the total still below 20.
I wonder if Tyrant expected more people to succeed post-walkthrough than we currently have?

I'm sure most people refuse to try because they think its too hard.

Few humilitating deaths for me on Mythic;
Sierra 117
1. Accidently jumping into the Water at the dam whilst trying to dodge a Grenade from a Grunt.

The Storm
2. Attempting to Grav-Lift jump onto the Scarab and missing, getting squished between the leg and the Scarab itself.
3. Missing the Scarab completely from the Crane and falling to my death.
4. Shooting the Power Core of a Scarab with a Rocket Launcher and killing myself.

The Ark
5. Death Barrier at the end (x2)
6. Falling off the edge whilst fighting the Hunters (x3)
7. Not really a death this one, but watching a Scorpion go flying about 500 foot in the air, falling to land and driving off as usual.

Cortana
8. Falling between a whole in a walkway in the Reactor Room.

This is all I can think of at the moment.

I'm a great guy really.

Gazas, nice loss earlier, even if i did play awful... but i got my excuses all lined up :) Still no mythic done in ages anyway and can't see myself trying again soon, hardly been on the xbox and new games and maps etc, shame really but ah well. It will be done by 2010!

Is the place you got splattered in Cortana the room with all the cloaking and the Cortana terminal? Cause if so I almost got splattered by the same bloody panel, though I went on to win that one.
Seems odd. You'd think there'd be more post-walkthrough achievers than pre-walkthrough...

Proress report: I'm doing The Ark atm. I've come to the conclusion that I should just rush the first 2 fights cause then If I die, I'm not losing as much progress (If you follow me). I've also found a shorter way to go at the second fight, that's a tad more exposed, but gives me longer to deal with the brute and grunts at the top, and I also only have to deal with the 1 Carbine Jackel so... That's a plus?

My The Ark kamikaze clip hit over 40 downloads. That's the highest I've ever gotten in my fileshare. Nothing compared to others though.

I'm on my 8th xbox 360 controller. 5 wireless, 3 wired. :)

By the way, I'm back on my main account, and not MyTipsToReach50 anymore. For those wondering, I got banned for talking on a Sandbox skull thread. Someone asked if it is still there when the map is overloaded. Some person said no. I said it was, as I have an overloaded map which still has it. I got banned. The person who said no didn't, nor did the person who asked the question. Screwy, huh?

Anyway, I'd be happy to check out that Sierra Sniper vid, gazas.

I DL'd your Ark kamikaze btw.

Kamikaze for Sniper Forest sounds good, that section honestly sounds like the trickiest part of Sierra 117 and the more options there are the more people can try different things (of course people like yourself innovate and invent the kamikaze rushes but others don't like the whole "thinking for themselves" game).
And I'm gonna DL that Ark kamikaze and compare it with Pahat's most recent run.
