Good, I don't really feel like staying awake until 3am again. I barely felt alive the next day lol.
And when we move onto Crow's Nest I think we won't have many problems due to things you found for 2.0 and being able to all carry different equipment (deployable Brute trap and the Invincibility anyone?)

Well done Shadow. That leaves 3 doesn't it? Sierra 117, Crow's Nest & The Ark isn't it?

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,
The Tyrant

That's how my apprentice rolls ;-)

Not if you do it offline. I just checked your gaming history and it isn't in there.

When we get up to it, why doesn't Shadow join in the party for Quad Mythic? By then he'll probably be either done or only have 1 or 2 missions left.

Elaborating on Covenant hi-jinks:

As Tyrant said, we found most of this just screwing around yesterday since Matclan wasn't on. We butchered the level. I've dubbed the action of running through the dogfight "Rush Alpha", named solely for the fact that the Hornet's arrival is the start of Rally Point Alpha.

Oh, right. I am going to volunteer for the Rush Alpha. You can bring your Laser (shoot at the Banshees for kicks) and a Beam Rifle (for inside the tower at the top) and MATCLAN can a Carbine and Beam Rifle, as those would be excellent for the Citadel since we won't have to use too many shots. I'll just take a Plasma Pistol and whatever, because I'm trading the second weapon for the FRG outside tower three.

It sounds very interesting, I can't wait to see it in action. :-)
I assume that me bringing a Beam Rifle to the Citadel would be for that little slope at the back of the lift room that we agreed would be a good place to snipe from so as to take out the FRG Grunts?

Or we could just bring the laser and deal with the Hunters that way :-)

Feel free to do the rush. I volunteer for dealing with the rush into the first tower in addition to the baddies on top of both Tower One and Three. I've pretty much got it down to a science (for the most part - after all this IS Mythic).

So what am I going to be doing tonight? Carrying spare weapons around? If so, I'm fine with it as long as we can finally move onto another mission.
And while I'm on it, our last attempt at escaping the Flood wasn't all that great, what's the new plan?

For the most part, yes. I'd also recommend you drive the Gauss Hog while I man the Scorpion with Vince as gunner.

Having more than two people actively shooting at the same time can often time ends in heartbreak. We witnessed this a few times already ;-)

The FRG isn't for the Hunters; it's for the Drones. I intend to leave the Hunters alive. After all, I've always wondered how long a Hunter would survive if lit on fire. We may not have access to a Flamethrower on the Covenant, but Flame Grenades do the same thing. =]

For the FRG Grunts and you can get rid of the Jumppack Brutes' armor while they're standing around idle.

That we did. I forgot all about the 'hog TBH, I quite enjoyed having a marine who was decent enough to hit a Banshee in the gun.
Still doesn't explain the escape though. Are we just sticking with the "bait" manoeuvre, if so I'd volunteer myself because you and Vince would probably have the better weapons needed to kill the Flood.

Due to your lag issues, I'd rather volunteer this one for myself again. In a melee fight, even the slightest drop in frame rate can be disastrous. Not trying to shut you out, my friend. Just speaking from painful experience :-P Your position up on the control panel was a good place to be because you had a clear view of the area.

Oops, double post. Stupid error message. I'll make the most of this and say something productive in this one as well!

I got nothing.....

I'm amazed at how many people are either, too intellectually challenged to grasp the finer concepts of the challenge, or are too stubborn and used to having everything spoon fed to them to read an article by themselves....I'm done.

Also, if you guys every want or need a fourth guy for quad-mythic, I am so there!

I've been worried, as well, that if I don't play Mythic on a regular basis I'll lose my touch. Can you lose your Mythic Touch or is it like riding a bike? I sure hope it's like riding a bike.....

Currently, I'm training our fourth guy. Helps that he only lives roughly 45 minutes away :-P

As for losing your touch, I suppose it's like anything else. If you don't do it long enough, you have to get re-aquainted when you get back into it. However, being that you've already done it before, it won't take you nearly as long.

Just to be safe, though, I don't play anything below Mythic anymore.

Yeah, unfortunately because you requisitioned my Carbine for the previous area I had no weapon I could have used to help Vincent from getting mobbed by Flood (I only had a Plasma Pistol and a Needler). If I bring a Carbine and Beam Rifle tonight can I keep them please? Maybe I could even be jumped up on top of the lobby and snipe the Jump-Pack Brutes?

It depends on who you are. I was away from Halo 3 for a good few months and came back to Halo 3 for Dual-Mythic or something else. I forget.

I felt a bit off for about one game. That was it, though. After that I went on to finish up the Armed Conformist challenge and invent/complete Misanthrope.
