Excuse me, but how do I get the Halocharts medals? How do I notify them?

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I think Tyrant is filling them out or something as he goes along, but if you want to notify them yourself and maybe speed the process up, fill this form out, and they'll get around to it.

I'd be patient though, I imagine there have been tons of submitted games, and I think Halocharts only updates once every 10 days.

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


Well, I sort of agree with you. The first non AA Wraith I face in Storm I always get pooped on by the turret. I might just go for recon in Bungie Day. I have my own idea as one of their criteria that isn't announced. Some of them might be like...this is just a guess but....most losses in the playlist...or most exp in the playlist....my own idea i won't reveal, but seeing as how my message sending won't work, and Tyrant didn't answer my question on whether or not he received it probably means i will stop with the mythic campaign. I imagine that he didn't receive the message which really pisses me off, so therefore, goodbye Mythic Campaign. It was fun while it lasted. Now it is just -blam!-...My Bungie Day will be a 24 hour nonstop playing in the bungie day playlist. Screw mythic, and maybe screw recon...It is definitely not worth it.

Edit: And if gazas actually won it, then something is definitely rigged.

Firstly, the PM Gazas posted was (I assume) a friendly joke between Tyrant and Gazas. From the sound of it, Tyrant just gives Bungie a list of names, they pop it into a magical machine, and a name is shot gloriously out.

Secondly, just because it is hard, doesn't mean you should give up. The Storm is (in my opinion) much harder than Tsavo Highway or Cortana, but it's still not terribly difficult if you learn from your mistakes and follow the guide.

Finally, I highly doubt Recon will "super common" after Bungie day. Let's assume that there is one team of 4 Bungie employees, and they play for 24 hours. Let's also assume that each game is 10 minutes. Assuming they lose every single game that is still only 576 sets given out. Now I'm assuming they'll win maybe 50% of their games, making it a mere 288. Considering that there are somewhere around 1 million unique players a day, that's only what, .0288% of the population with Recon? That is, unless my math skills have abandoned me this night.

Hi

I just beat the Storm. It took me 7 tries, so it was quite the relief. I've got to say, this being my first time going through the campaign on mythic, the Storm is definately a level up than Floodgate or Halo. There is nearly no way to throw in a quick melee to get your shields back and keep them. Not against the Covenant.

There was one part in my run that really scared the crap out of me. At the end, the rocket-weilding Arbiter decided to run by the brute chieftain and leave him for me. The chieftan starts to hunt me down and after a little game of cat and mouse, I get stuck on top of a traxus crate with just my BR. Arbiter was nowhere in sight. If I went down, my death was inevitable. I just stopped and prayed that I had enough ammo. And there was. I saved myself an hour of my life. (Celebritory crouching ensued)

And thank you, mythic community, for the guide. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do this.

No your math skills are right on the dot actually, but they said that their are "certain criteria" that can also reward you with recon...I have a pretty good idea what one of those are, so I am just going to go with it, and probably still do mythic, but it just irritates me that Tyrant would never respond in the forum to my question, or PM me saying he received my entry, so therefore I have to assume that he didn't receive 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

Ah yes. I should definitely set aside an extra 26 hours each day (that don't exist) so I can personally PM the hundreds upon hundreds of people who submit an entry to each challenge. If you followed directions, then you have nothing to worry about. However, if you're one of the many lazy children out there who saw the words Recon and Mythic, but decided to skip the rest, then you don't deserve to be in the raffle.

Any idiot knows that before you enter a challenge, particularly a tough one, it's wise to read all of the rules first. I've made it clear time and time that if you ask questions that are clearly answered in the rules, or have been answered both publicly and repeatedly in the Q&A thread, then you won't get a response. If you can't take the time to pull your lazy a$$ out of the gutter for 5 minutes to do a little light reading which I have so generously gone out of my way to provide for you, then why the hell should I go yet another extra mile to cover your tracks?

Get over yourself. It's not my job to pick up your slack. If you can't take the time to read what's already placed in front of you, I'm sure as hell not going to take the time to repeat it.

For starters, of course it was a joke, how can you possibly think that I won when I didn't even mention anything about me winning? THE JOKE WASN'T EVEN ABOUT ME WINNING!

You're being unfair to me as well, it's a freekin' raffle, yeah there are a lot of entries but if my name would get picked up, something is clearly wrong right?

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

Well i have finished the storm and i made sure i put scoring on but in the film i have a few deaths like 5 or 6 and one of them was just stupid a banshee came right upto the back of the crane and killed me but all in all i did it after i kamikazed the scarab i took it S&S and now im done.

Take it slow, don't spend to much time where the plasma cannon chieftan is or he will go to the overpass, take the grunts out on the scarab from the crane and then get on board and take it out, then get a rocket launcher and give it to arby and just take it slow and steady when you get to the AA gun use 2 charged PP's to take it out.

Trust me i JUST did the storm so it is fresh in my head.

I got my "Mythic Ark" and "Mythic Master" awards yesterday after I PMed Philip Willis about it. He said that they're running a litle slow currently because there are other things to be done on the Halocharts site. I suggest just being patient.
And congrats to Tyrant; The Storm seems to be scaring some folks off meaning there's a better chance at winning for those who stick it out.

Get over yourself. It's not my job to pick up your slack. If you can't take the time to read what's already placed in front of you, I'm sure as hell not going to take the time to repeat it.


Alright, lets just start with one thing...You are a major a$$hole. I have read the rules at least a million times, so don't go saying that i am lazy by not reading it because i have. Also, your -blam!-ing auto-responder did not work, so therefore it is not my fault in this ordeal.

Also, there are only 24 hours each day, so therefore there is no way to set aside 26 hours dip-blam!-. And i followed the rules exactly how i had done before, and then, I had gotten an auto-response. This time, someones inbox -blam!-s up, and then he tries to blame it on me by saying that I didn't read the rules.

At gazas, yes i know you didn't win, i was joking myself, and apparently he takes time out of his day to PM you, but not to PM me, so I see that as favoritism.

All I want to say, is that i followed the rules exactly as they were given out, multiple times might i add. Therefore, I am out. I am tired of dealing with some -blam!- who thinks he is the god of Mythic (Aka Tyrant). Get over yourself Tyrant. So what if you have recon...No one gives a -blam!- that you think you are good at Mythic Campaign either.

I am not going to waste my time typing anymore or bothering replying in this thread because someone (Tyrant) is a major ass. And if i do respond in this thread it won't be dealing with anything Tyrant says.

And finally, for my final words to Tyrant...You need to learn when you are in the wrong. You are the one who messed up, or maybe your auto-responder, but still it takes about 5 seconds to say in this forum, "Yes I got your entry, sorry for the screw up" That is all it would take, and I can prove I sent it right, and I didn't receive an auto-response, because I still have the message page (Yes the one I sent) still open, and my inbox open. Also, don't judge someone before you even know them. That is probably the worst trait in the world to have.

Well I am out. Peace

  • 06.27.2009 10:01 AM PDT

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

Wait, if I didn't get an Auto Response back, then my entry wasn't counted?

The auto-responder doesn't always work simply because it isn't designed to cope with the amount of messages which would be received for a contest or the like. In this case entries for the SMRC. It's also possible that Tyrant hasn't got round to seeing your entry; after all, if previous statistics are anything to go off we know the a lot of people are entering these contests. You also aren't being particularly polite or reserved in your posts whihc comes across as very selfish and makes you look like an ass.

Also, there are only 24 hours each day, so therefore there is no way to set aside 26 hours dip-blam!-. And i followed the rules exactly how i had done before, and then, I had gotten an auto-response. This time, someones inbox -blam!-s up, and then he tries to blame it on me by saying that I didn't read the rules.

You missed the point here entirely: Tyrant acknowledged that there aren't 26 hours in a day, the use of such language is called hyperbole or exaggeration. It's generally used to give an audience an idea of what the individual is coping with. In this case that would be a lot of entries (not all correctly submitted), probably some spam and a lot of questions asked either here or via PM about topics whihc are already covered clearly in the rules.

At gazas, yes i know you didn't win, i was joking myself, and apparently he takes time out of his day to PM you, but not to PM me, so I see that as favoritism.

So according to you it's favouritism to send joke messages to your friends which aren't even related to the contest (I doubt Gazas actually received such a message seeing as he referring to a post made by Shadowstrike earlier in the thread)? That's a new one on me.

All I want to say, is that i followed the rules exactly as they were given out, multiple times might i add. Therefore, I am out. I am tired of dealing with some -blam!- who thinks he is the god of Mythic (Aka Tyrant). Get over yourself Tyrant. So what if you have recon...No one gives a -blam!- that you think you are good at Mythic Campaign either.

You may have followed the rules, yet you started making a nuisance of yourself by geting annoyed when your immediate conerns weren't considered a prioroty to respond to. This isn't a good idea when the main rule of B/net is "Play nice, you have no rights."
Also I highly doubt that Tyrant is "showing off" his Recon seeing a if Bungie suspect such a thing they can remove it at will; Tyrant also has never claimed that he is the "God of Campaign" (That would be Pahat Pojat, even though he needs nobody to state it; actions speak louder than words.)
As for caring that Tyrant is good at Campaign? I'd say plenty of people here do actually care because Tyrant either sparked our own forays into Mythic difficulty or helped via the Walkthrough he made which obviously wasn't knocked together over a weekend or two.

I am not going to waste my time typing anymore or bothering replying in this thread because someone (Tyrant) is a major ass. And if i do respond in this thread it won't be dealing with anything Tyrant says.

OK, no doubt the atmosphere here may be less belligerent without you acting so self righteous.

And finally, for my final words to Tyrant...You need to learn when you are in the wrong. You are the one who messed up, or maybe your auto-responder, but still it takes about 5 seconds to say in this forum, "Yes I got your entry, sorry for the screw up" That is all it would take, and I can prove I sent it right, and I didn't receive an auto-response, because I still have the message page (Yes the one I sent) still open, and my inbox open. Also, don't judge someone before you even know them. That is probably the worst trait in the world to have.

How can either you or Tyrant be in the wrong if the auto-responder didn't work? Why should Tyrant apologise for something beyond his control? Also merely confirming entries does not directly relate to Mythic difficulty and therefore constitutes as spam and bumping which are enforced upon more than usual in this thread (see Foman's post in the OP).
As for prejudice? You're convinced that Tyrant is an "-blam!-" despite many other people knowing the opposite is true. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Well I am out. Peace

Bye.

EDIT: Just because you don't get a response back doesn't mean your entry isn't counted. Just try and trust the system a little rather than needing proof every time.
