What if an account that is not yours got EXP Banned on your xbox but it is not your account? Am I still eligible for The Mythic Recon Challenge on my account?

Forge is great
Bungie is awesome
Owning N00bs is priceless

That same thing happened to me today on flood gate, it sucks.

What sucks more is spending 4 hours on the mission halo only to find out you didnt have campaign scoring on. F my life

Happy 10,000 everyone :-)

And just in time for the 2.0 walkthrough and the Recon Challenge.


Really? You threaten to ban individuals from an awesome opportunity for bumping your thread and then you post the exact thing you prohibited? That's in no way setting the right example and is downright hypocritical.
You're defining his post in a flawed way, that's all.

First of all, he doesn't bump the thread for no reason just to reach a high number, unlike the brown noses in the previous page coming out of nowhere just to get to 10 000. Why he let a person who said this:
Posted by: Spartan H19
10,000 post!

EDIT: Dammnit :(
...be in the competition? Bungie obviously don't like it when people say "1st!" and breaking the rules on this thread is riskier than any other thread.

Now to Tyrant's post, he posted that to celebrate that his thread and Mythic have come so far and if you haven't noticed, there are a group of people who've been standing by him since he started the thread and maybe they could be the people he refers to as "everyone". Not necessarily though. He did not post a "10000th post!" in his own thread.

Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen. The words are all around but the words are only sound. But nobody seems to listen. Instead they'll say, "Well how could we of known?" I'll tell em, "It's really not so hard to tell. keep adding stones, and the water gets lost in the well."

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Slight problem here; yesterday I recovered my account at a friend's house, however today the XBL account registration system (which apparently covers account recovery too) isn't working. So, my question is:
When working towards a safe seat for the final raffle will it count if I can provide a saved film of the mission yet be unable to provide stats, at least until I can sign in properly and redo the mission to gain the relevant stat page?

  • 06.10.2009 5:30 AM PDT

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,

Your films do need to be in stats in order for them to count. While I do trust you individually, it wouldn't be fair to others.

Here's the deal. Saved films don't really show what skulls are on, if scoring is on, and what difficulty mode you have it set to.

Like I said, it's nothing personal, but stats and films must be linked in order for it to count. I also specified this in the article.

In regards to the "situation" on the two previous pages...

Bottom line is this. I asked them specifically not to do something, but they did it anyway. The issue here isn't that they landed (or tried) the 10,000 post. It's that they spammed the thread with off-topic material. This is what got the Sandtrap thread locked. They could have even gone back and edited their posts to something somewhat useful afterward and I would have been fine with it, but they chose not to. This warning was issued nearly 3000 posts ago and is enforced by the moderator's notation in the OP.

Would I care if they included it? No. Not as long as they had something constructive to go along with it. They didn't.

However, this is what I will do. Seeing as how I believe people deserve a second chance, I will give the three posters who have been banned for this reason 24 hours to edit their posts to something relavent. If they do not comply, the ban stands.

My reasoning is sound whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.

Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to finish Floodgate on Mythic again for the contest, I've done it once I can do it again. :)

This is sad. I actually know you. I don't want to have to correct a friend, but...

Please read the article in full. You CANNOT DO OR SUBMIT BEFORE FRIDAY!!!

I don't get this. Over 50 entries so far and they will ALL be deleted. There was an entire paragraph devoted to this in the article. Why do people not bother to read the whole thing? They're only setting themselves up for disappointment.

Totally my bad, sorry about that. I must of missed that part. :/

But when I said tomorrow I actually meant Friday... *cough*

Thanks for telling me, I've learnt a lesson from this.

The magic word is "Recon"
everyone is reading that they can win recon and what they have to do plus the article is up since 2 days so they think the contest has already started (my opinion)

Skim reading can have it's dis-advantages. One can forget certain important notes.

Fortunately, there will be a reminder posted on Friday. I'll be sure to add a stern warning for everyone at the top to read ALL the rules before submitting their entries.

This is amazing. I didn't have this problem when I was giving away the Mythic Map Pack...

Links are the same, in there, you may read everything you need to know.

Probably, but even if the word is in circulation for only a few hours, I'll be happy.

UPDATE: "THE ARK 2.0"

Believe it or not, I've started working on Ark 2.0. So far, here is what I have found...

If I bring a Plasma Grenade with me, I can easily Kamikaze the first two areas, stick the Brute Captain at the top of the spire, and bring both my Battle Rifle and Sniper Rifle with me to the next area. I don't have to sacrifice one of them for a Plasma Pistol :-D

Here is what I would like to know from anyone else out there...

1) Is there a faster way of dealing with the Prowler section that is "safe"?

2) Is there a faster & safer method for dealing with the area just before the AA Wraith skirmish?

3) Is there a faster & safer way of dealing with the AA Wraith skirmish?

4) Is it possible to cloak yourself and assassinate ALL of the Jump-Jet Brutes during the last battle if the Chieftain has not been glitched ahead of time?

Alright, I understand, although this means that if the techies at Microsoft don't get this bug fixed soon I won't be able to use my account tonight for Tri Mythic.
I'll let you know closer to the time if I can make it, hopefully everything will get sorted and I can, but seeing as I don't know if there's any work even going on to fix it I'm not feeling very hopeful.

I don't know how you deal with the Prowlers but with my method, I've never died, not even in my first days playing that level.

I may show you a video soon, meanwhile, check out my film for the last area, you could say that it's a bit risky, but it's actually really easy, thing is that it only works if you get the invincibility from the glitched Chieftain.
Here it is, I'll render it as soon as I can.. See if you can pull it off as easily.

I'll get to work to show you what I do against the Prowlers.

Ok, here it is. Haven't died ever using this method. I only have one render point so I can't render it.

  • 06.10.2009 7:59 AM PDT

One of the few and the proud, a Mythic Conqueror, I am.

I'll try and get you a clip for the way I handle the prowler part as well.

Short little synopsis:

When they drop off the brutes at the end of that little hill, they will pause for a second. I usually have a plasma pistol ready, and I charge shot one of the prowlers and take out the gunner. Almost every time, the driver will sit there and wait for another gunner to get in. So I just use good timing with the plasma pistol to take out the rest.

I'll try and get a video up today.

I'll post mine again just in case.

Midnight, where do you stand using that method?

  • 06.10.2009 8:02 AM PDT

One of the few and the proud, a Mythic Conqueror, I am.

It took me a second to put stand in the right context haha. I was like, "How do I stand?" Well I don't die. Then I was like oh duh literally where do I stand.

Usually I hug one of the large rocks lining the ridge just in front of the door you come out of. I try to keep only the prowler I'm shooting at in sight.
