H3 ODST Tips and Tricks

RaNK HeLP OnLY This group will offer you rank help for free. We will never ask you for anything to rank you up. ONLY FOR FREE!!

Does it matter what type of hyper link we use. Or would it be better if it was anamed one?

Just wondering, incase I use the wrong one. I am going to try and get Mythic conqurer, in the group by completing every challenge then, so I don't have to do them 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!

How will the winner be decided? Will they be randomly chosen out of the submissions, or will the video be reviewed and the winner chosen by something they do during the mission.


Randomly.

I think the matter is just that the skulls won't make any effect in their A.I which means you are pretty much guaranteed succeeding the level if you just take your time and sit back. When you are experienced enough on Mythic difficulty you can pretty much rush everything on the level with no worries which is a problem Halo 3 campaign not being a challenge anymore.


While this is true, I believe this to be the case with just about any game currently on the market. When battling against AI, eventually you will be able to predict 9/10 of their movements no matter what difficulty setting you use. Their programming is always limited, so if you play the game enough, you'll eventually see everything they have up their sleeves.

While it would certainly look better if it was named, I won't count it against you as long as I can click and be taken straight to your film.

Maybe.

This is also why people who think Mythic or even Legendary is hard never even play Campaign that much. They can out BR any person in matchmaking but eventually they will be spanked by Campaign.

You do this solo.

Multi-Mythic is much harder. Still no deaths, but no more invincible AI to help you...

EDIT: The 2.0 guide for Crow's Nest is now up and running. Enjoy!

Does it matter for the contest if you run through it without killing anyone? Will that affect you in the draw? E.G: exclusion from the draw?
Do we PM you or what when we have it finished?

People just dont like being the underdog, something that you find quite frequently on Legendary & Mythic. I know most people on my friend list would rather have everyone wiith the same attributes than having the 1 vs 100 mentality that comes with Campaign.

Sidenote: Just practiced without the Iron skull and managed to pull of Vince's great escape of the elevator several times in a row before setting up Tyrant's new Brute trap. It's kinda fun to leave one alive just so you can toture him in exchange for everything the AI has ever done to you.

I'm a great guy really.

Right guys, for some reason I'm now stuck on the downed pelican area of Sierra 117, I pick off a load all the jackals and grunts that come into view but in the end I have to jump down. The problem is that there are no PPs there, I can't backtrack for one as I kamikaze the river and the arbiter is always dead. Does anyone have any tip?,They would be much appreciated as I can't get a brute shot brute in a narrow pathway when I don't have a plasma pistol, just a BR and carbine. It's rare I reach the dam now, It's all dependant on how useful arbiter decides to be.

It's easy though, I've never died doing this newer method, maybe I'll just take a PP instead of BR or carbine to the next area. The arbiter always dies when he jumps down after the sniper forest which leaves me without a PP, it's just whether I will run out of BR and carbine ammo if I take a PP.

Usually I take both the BR and Carbine into the forest. You really shouldn't need more than 1 or 2 Plasma Pistols before you get to the point where you're killing Grunts that have them, and if you actually kill things at the River, you can go back and get those plus additional Carbine ammo.

Use you BR for the Jackals in that area and then use the Carbine and Beam Rifles found in Sniper Forest to remove the armour from the Brutes. It only takes 3 Beam Rifle shots to remove the armour of a gold Brute.
Or you could use a Needler, or do a quick kamikaze dash to grab a PP befre getting back into cover. Just try and let the situation unfold naturally, use what you can and hope for the best. :-P

Beam rifle seems a good idea actually, didn't know it was that powerful, also how effective is the needler at removing armour? Because a mad dash for a PP is usually what kills me.

On a Captain, usually one chain reaction explosion with destroy the armor and leave the Brute berserking.

That'll be another method I'll try, thank you. I usually try and time killing grunts in previous areas so that they die next to the brutes. The grunts are usually well hidden but with a bit more patience I may give them time to pop out. Probably gonna go give it a try now, thanks for the tips people.

Yeah, I meant to ask about that; what time does it clock in at now? I still think Pahat's 15 minutes is nigh on unbeatable.
BTW I had a go at that gametype you wanted me to make yesterday. I think it works.

So from what i read in the rules if i have already done Floodgate on Mythic Difficulty, i will still have to do it again during the time period to enter the raffle contest? if so i feel a tear coming on :(

You have now learned from one of your mistakes. Consider that run a practice run.

HOO-RAH!!

can you die while playing floodgate on mythic difficulty and still be eligible for a chance to win recon?
