I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but I'll ask anyways.

I live in the suburbs of Washington D.C., and it is officially 12:01am on the 28th, so can I play through halo on mythic yet? or do I have to wait until it is past midnight at Bungie HQ on the west coast?

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I'm not sure. I think (think) that as long as your video is dated the 28th, it's ok, but I'd wait just in case.


I am honestly so pissed off right now, I don't know what to break first. The Storm. I beat the Scarab (finally). After arming the Arbiter, I was extremely cautious. I watched as the Arbiter chewed through all the brutes, the hunters, the and finally, the Chieftain. He decided to go out with a bang, and hit the Hammer chieftain with a rocket point blank, which launched the Arbiter out of the fence... Which was highly amusing to watch, as he got confused and just ran in small circles...

Every enemy was dead. I grabbed two plasma pistols, took them up to the next area, shot the grunts that ran down the hill... Unfortunately.... The Brute chieftain with the Fuel rod had walked up to the top of the hill... And took a pot shot...

-blam!- me.

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,

12:00 Pacific Time which you can tell by looking below your post. At the time of your post, it was 9pm PST. 3 more hours.

And now the Storm is down. It was a pretty good run, filled with some rather unusual things (unusual as in strategies and ideas). I got to use the A.A. Wraith (I had host), snipe the Scarab (specialty), used my Spiker Loop to down a Hunter who was already severely beaten -- Tyrant killed the second one with a single Rocket to both of our surprise, since we never remember attacking it much -- realized I had a perfect opportunity to snipe the Chieftain (3 headshots to remove helmet, 1 to kill), and did a double range shot with the Plasma Pistol to end the level.

Game stats
My p.o.v.


Finally I can see the Spiker Loop, me and Gazas got to the 3rd tower on The Covenant last night easily only for the Hunters to send us right back to the start; we really need some way of killing them that's more reliable than "You distract them and I'll get them with a Sword."

ROFLMAO, that worked very well in our first practice run.

Yes, it always seems to work in the "practice" runs but then when we actually decide to be serious about it everything that can go wrong does go wrong.

Let's just watch Tyrant and Vince. Easy copy/past. Then we'll do the same with the levels they've done and then complete it before them. They won't be pissed at all.

AARG. I was determined to beat the Storm today. I realized my mistake last night. I didn't kill enough Covenant at the AA gun, so the Chieftain didn't retreat. I managed to take the scarab down the first time I got there, even though a marine threw a grenade, bouncing it off the missile pod, and exploded, ruining the missile pod I normally use. I actually think it is easier with the other one. I nearly died to a chopper that somehow got up on the platform with me, but managed to survive.

So I gave the Arbiter the rockets, and went on my way, watched the hunters die, the hammer chieftain.. Dunno what happened to him, I think he retreated. Anyway, while trying to take down some grunts, the Arbiter rocketed me. The game just won't give me a break.

All skulls means all skulls. Tough luck, but look on the bright side, you did it once, you can do it again.

"Were it so easy..."

As a show of confidence, though, I'll leave the videos in my file share, though.

Priority: Grunts.
Secondary: Range-shot the Chieftain. With his shields down, he'll retreat.

Then just charge up two Plasma Pistols and range-shot the core.

Yeah I figured out my mistake. I took down the grunts but didn't hit the chieftain... I would have had it earlier if it wasn't for the Arbiter.

This.

Yeah I know it can be frustrating. I once beat Tsavo Highway with all skulls on accept Iron. But true to the word, once you've done it once, it becomes much easier.

  • 03.28.2009 11:43 AM PDT

ok, after 6 more tries i got it again w/ ALL skulls, scoring on, on legendary, first slot in my fileshare. i died a few times (but iron was on of course) and after a few tries i made it. You get to see my epic fails before i made it, i guess :D

  • 03.28.2009 12:15 PM PDT

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

Am I the only one finding the Mythic Map Pack Mythic Halo challange this weekend less frustrating then the Mythic Floodgate runthrough last weekend? Maybe the Mythic Floodgate runthrough prepared me for Halo on Mythic but I'm finding myself dieing a lot less trying to get a good time, much less then I did on Floodgate, even though the level is longer.

And to think that next will probably be Cortana... I can see the forums already, "WTF Tyr\ant/Bungie!!! Cortana is impossible on Legendary nevermind with all skulls but I want the maps anyway so give them to me!"

Anyway I'm no good at speed runs so I think I'll just stick to working my way through normally when I get a bit of time, otherwise me and Gazas are still tackling The Covenant together and it's a lot of fun.

I didn't know that it was really possible to die at the end. Once I get to the hog even when my shields are fully gone I don't seem to ever die as long as I don't fall through the holes in the path. About the only part I find annoying is the tower. Amazingly when trying to clear the top Johnson has only ever lasered me once. I've already gone through the level twice and got decent times so I might force myself to try and beat my best time again but I can't think of anything else I can do to cut back on my time I didn't already do on my second runthrough. I'm not going to fool myself into think that I'll actually win but I'd like to think my best time is one of the better ones.

The next Mythic challange should be to see who can beat Arrival on Mythic lol. Anyway, Cortana. That's got to be the toughest level for Mythic. Those pure form flood are bad enough on Legendary.

well my first run-thru and i made 17:35. not a bad time but there is a few parts that i could mop up to save a few seconds. with the elite players in this competition im going to have to save every second i can. maybe even minute(s).

Common misconception. Cortana is one of the easiest missions on Mythic, right after Halo and Floodgate. It's just the most random.
