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

true, cortana is very easy. you are kind of already used to the flood from the other 2 levels so might as well give this a go. another tip for this level, never stop moving. i have died countless times because of a stupid infection/eater form.

Oh Hai, Eskimo

Yeah, I don't go here a lot either. I don't think I'll try for this "mythic quester" thing. I'm trying to update my Swat tips.

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

Posted by: ESKIMO x MT
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).


That's about what my first runthrough was. Anyway, earlier I was looking at the recent campaign missions and saw that someone has 13:32 on Halo!! I watched his file share video and have been trying to do similar things to him but I keep getting killed. I'll try to beat his time later today but I don't think I have any chance at all.

Anyway, Cortana. That's got to be the toughest level for Mythic. Those pure form flood are bad enough on Legendary.

Really? If it's easy on Mythic why is it such an annoying level on Legendary?

  • 03.28.2009 1:52 PM PDT

i have the whole run down fairly well.. ermm kinda.
'halo' is giving me much in the way of problems annnnnd
while regretful.. i think ill retire this time. lol

i'd just like to say... tyrant's challenge is one of few. not many can do mythic, and it's a great idea no matter how you loook at it..
kudos to the recon guy. haha.


floodgate.. easy
halo.. difficult
truth.

  • 03.28.2009 2:25 PM PDT

Quite the challenge this is, congrats to all of the achievers.

  • 03.28.2009 3:22 PM PDT

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Annoying =/= difficult. Though difficult is a relative term. I'd say most people found Cortana annoying is due to the randomness of the level. It's not so much doing exactly as a walkthrough says, and more of a winging it. I'm saving it as a treat for later.

I'm guessing the best time will be 12: something. I know some people booked 13 minutes in practice yesterday, so....

This was the fastest time I could manage today. I could have gotten faster, but I wasn't able to. I'll work on getting lower than 13 tommorow.

I have finally finished Sierra 117

I had a marine who survived from the very beginning, all the way to the sniper forest. I named him Marty. I was so sad when he died, I was like "MARTY NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" I was so emotional that I spent all of 2 seconds looking for his body afterwards.

And my new catchphrase for SLASO is "Let the Arbiter handle it."

Hmm...you seem different than the rest...very cautious. That's good.

Keep up the good work.

so until now how many folks have fully completed mythic? i cant finish my last 3 levels until microsoft finishes the investigation and i get my account back.

"A wise man once told me don't argue with fools, cause people from a distance can't tell who is who."

I got to the hallway before you get the hog, the one with the exploding flood type, in 8:40. With perfect driving I probably could have gotten in the 13:00's. I was just too impatient.

You should submit that to High Speed Halo. It's better than the current time. Sorry bout the double post

I'm really happy I finished sierra 117 because its just too easy to backtrack that I just can't resist the temptation to go back and find every last scrap of ammo. The video was 2:50:22 without dying at all. It's really frustrating when you spend half an hour juggling all your weapons forward and then get killed by the backsplash from a brute shot that hit a rock right behind you.

Urk a while ago said 20. But we do not know who the other 9 are. It could have gone up by then aswell recently.

I would, if Pahat wouldn't have got this time. And all his runs are on there, so that one will be on there soon aswell.

Does zero deaths mean i have to get the whole level on my first try? <:O or if i tried several times and restarted automatically because of iron and then got it still count?

The best thing to do if you die, is save and quit. And while in lobby, remember to get rid of the save before starting again.
Do this by pressing X to the Skull Menu and Pressing A then selecting Yes.
This way, the film and game stats will show you as finishing the mission in the correct way. This is what I did.

I know who you are. I wasn't putting emphasis on the fact that I didn't die. I was putting emphasis on the fact that it took me soooooo long, without any extra failed tries in the video. I was just pointing out the fact that I will most likely never be a speed runner for SLASO.

So it doesnt count??? That doesnt even make any sense, with iron on, because the only thing youre doing is exiting out to the lobby and doing the loadup again. REALLY? >:O

... Please tell me this isnt the case... Because im sick of that level... i completed the level with all skulls on + scoring + legendary and its a short level, theres not a TON of stuff you would need to go through.
