Ah, sucks. I had about an hour window of time in order to try and complete The Storm this morning. Failed a couple of times right at the exit to the first lakebed. I'm thinking I should probably have backtracked and used the Sniper on the Grunts and such. Getting so close to them just let them overwhelm me. And now since I'm going on holiday I won't have another chance this week.

Ah well. I'll be back for Tsavo Highway. Mark my words. :)

Hey Tyrant, I just sent a PM Submission for "The Storm", but I have one concern.

I turned in my submission yesterday for "Halo", and it has 0 downloads. I was just wondering if you got the message. Thanks man.

Probably did. He must have got a few hundred entries at least. Knowing the film is there grants you access to the raffle. Once your name is picked, the evidence is checked more closely.

Okay, now tell me what it says in the rules.


heh... Tyrant. I think you must've given a link to the rules about 38 times now :).

Putting the video in your fileshare will give Tyrant a link to your game history to let him know if you completed it. The video is there just in case things look fishy. How the hell are you going to expect Tyrant to watch 500+ 20-30 minute videos?

Doing Floodgate now will help you feel better, if that's what you're going for, but that's all. The rules state that each mission must be completed between the friday the challenge is announced, and by 11:59 PM the following Thursday.

Tyrant has already posted saying the Floodgate winner has been announced. I'm sure he'll post when the Halo winner has been announced, as well. A lot of things have to go into selecting the winner, such as submitting the entries, making sure they're all correctly submitted, making sure people aren't on the list, and making sure no fowl play was in order. He'll let us know.

As for the last and final raffle, the rules state that you must complete each mission during it's designated week. Beating them early will just give you practice. Beating them late wont count. You can try and beat all the levels so that you can jump in a low spot on the Mythic Conqueror list before there is a mass of conquerors come the end of the final week.

Let's put this in a familiar situation-

I started my Mythic quest a few months ago. I had beaten a few levels, Floodgate and Halo included. I still had to redo them each on their week to be entered into the raffle. No early entries. Now, I've kept up with each week. A week ago, I finished all the levels on Mythic Difficulty. Now, I still have to redo each mission during it's week. As of right now, I am NOT entered into the final raffle, for I must complete each mission during it's selected week. Beating them early only gave me practice, and made me feel good.

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this I've posted. I'm tired, but I thought I'd save Tyrant the trouble of explaining this another 8 times.

In the Storm after you destroy the first anti air wraith why do you have to put down a bubble shield?

You do it just in case if enemies you haven't killed attack you, then you jump on the platform, run to the left side, skipping the hardest firefight in the storm and your at the mongoose rocket meet.

I don't know what it is about grunts, but with me they always throw grenades behindme, knowing that everytime I jump backwards when I try to escape. :/

Yeah, it took me a while to get used to that, but eventually you'll just adapt and move to the side (or forward if you're desperate) in order to not get blown up.

Easier said than done lol. Just finished Tsavo after about 3 attempts, so I'm pretty happy with that. :)

Though unfortunately I now move onto Cortana, which I have always hated doing. Never even finished it solo, so this ought to be fun. =|

Funny thing is if I finish Cortana before jimmatt finishes Sierra, I'll have caught him up :o Though being fair I probably do play a bit more than him. ^_^

Cortana is... odd...
In theory the mission is very straightforward and relatively short. However between varying Pure Forms, random enemy spawns and "aesthetic" explosions which can fling scenery around, things don't always go according to plan.
Also expect to get the Gravemind/Cortana moments and dialogue stuck in your head. Forever.

"Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness for a father's sins passed to his son."

Eventually that line becomes metaphorical in that the mission itself is asking you why you even considered attempting to beat it. You have been warned so now I'll wish you luck. :-)

I dont think he needs to download it, just see proof that there is a video and it is linked to legit stats that say you completed it on mythic difficulty. It would be pretty ridiculous if he had to watch each and every submission.

But I'm not sure, because my halo film has 5 downloads, and my floodgate film for last week still has 0

Watching 200 20 minute films probably isn't really an option. I'm assuming if you get picked in the raffle, he watches the film just to make sure... Though, I'm not sure the film can really prove anything the stats can't.

I just gave Cortana a go for real. For some reason when I ran through Hells Hallway, when I came back, the combat forms were all there, but they ran back to the Carrier room with the pure forms. Dunno what that was about, but none of them had weapons, so...

First try I got all the way to the Reactor room, then things got a little hectic after a Brute with a Brute shot knocked out both my deployable covers. I managed to survive, somehow, but died on the way out back through Hells Hallway. Still, I found it really easy to get to the reactor room, so I guess it's not that big a deal.

well i didnt win either week :(
I'll probably stop now while can for several reasons. ODST will be out soon and it will be alot easier to get recon in. Besides, the game will come out and introduce me to a new campaign before i could possible beat all of halo 3 SLASO. Plus bungie day will undoubtedly be a day where hundreds of sets of recon will be given out, and thats the best chance to get it. After that recon will be less rare, and ODST will be even closer to release.

But don't listen to me, i'm just recon junkie :P
