Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

And The Storm. Probably the worst and most boring intro I've ever seen, nothing worse than seeing yourself in the side seat of a Warthog, with a marine who's driving 1 mph.
Amen. I am...Soooo tired of that. And Halo, that long run to the first fight. Ugh, all the intros are just painful. Was cool the first time. Maybe even the second time. Possibly the third. But after 100, I'm not amused.

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!

Eh, I don't mind the ones where you at least get to travel. Not at all actually. You really don't want to start the level right in the middle of the fight. Think about it. If it wasn't for the long walk at the beginning of Sierra 117, you would have a harder time obtaining a BR for Mythic. And Halo is just nothing short of amazing to view. They did a great job with the blizzard and ice effects. No, there are really only three bones I have to pick about auto-sequences:

1) The Ark intro: You should be able to skip right to the landing. I'm not really sure why they didn't do that.

2) The Storm intro: Again, if you've already played the mission, there's no need to hear all that stuff again. Skip right to where the Chief exits the hog.

3) The bantering between Cortana and Gravemind. I agree that the effect was sweet the first time through, but it would have been nice if there had a been a "Press 'X' to shut the f*** up" option ;-) In Halo 2, they had a similar setting on the High Charity mission where Truth and Gravemind were speaking into the loudspeaker, but it didn't effect the actual gameplay in the least. This is one of the FEW areas where I thought Halo 2 actually had something better. Wow, now there's something I thought I'd never say...

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I personaly believe they are secretly loading screens. That's just me, though.

Yes, some of them are in fact checkpoints, but they didn't need them in other levels. Why here? And why so often?

Well, I'm no programmer and in fact I suck with computers (for the most part). But from my experience with computers, they can act funny and sometimes you just have to do certain things to fix something.

Maybe there was some massive amount of lag and the only way to fix it was a private and individual loading screen.

For instance, on The Ark, I found a jump where you can skip the area with the first Hunters entirely (unfortunately, the Brute and Grunt Squad still spawn up top so for Mythic purposes, the jump is near useless). But if you don't kill the Hunters or run around the edge of the cliff, you get a massive amount of lag.

Wow.. I was just about to beat Floodgate on SLASO. I was litteraly like 20 feet from the end and I got killed by a rocket launcher..
Do it again. Never give up, specially not on Floodgate. If the same thing happens in The Ark, well maybe you can give up then if you want. =)

Never curse a failure. Learn from your mistakes so that if you are lucky enough to get a second chance, you can avoid repeating the same mistakes. And have a greater outcome.

i have to say... almost impossible... i can do good with all but blind on...

Blind is easy to get use to. The real kicker is Iron.

Blind is just a excuse for them.

Take a tiny corner of a post-it note and put it on your screen where the reticule should be. Makes aiming 10x easier.

Is that really good for the TV? Plus it totally defeats the purpose of the blind skull.

Well you still can't see your shields or what weapon you're holding. It just helps a little with the aim. You don't have to use it if you don't want to.

I tried it, didn't like it.
Also, look at your shadow to tell what weapon your holding. You can also hear what gun it is when you change your gun.
Regarding shields, you just have to play it safe, you can see your shields while mounted on turrets, jacking vehicles or driving vehicles etc etc.

Exactly. The only problem with the skull really is aiming which you eventually get used to.

In some cases I can "see" my shields flash when I take a hit. But the best indicator of your shield status is when you see blood appear briefly after a hit. That's always the moment where I get back behind cover.

Yeah, that always makes me scared. When I see it, I run back and try to get a Brute to give me some shields.

I loved the opening drive In The Storm! Every time there was a tire rolling across the screen. Was good for the lol's.

I'm one of those people who doesn't really use strategy guides. I've tried mythic difficulty, did a few levels. It requires a different kind of gameplay and style that i do not have but can acquire.

Reckless doesn't work for this...it hurts really bad
