When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

OK, I got a question that has been on my mind for a while.

I've been sending my the film in my Fileshare with the [url] whatever [/url]? Or do I send the game in my game history? Because I've been sending the game in my fileshare.

And I just want to know.

During my contest entry for The Storm today I had the oddest thing happen to me.
I had just killed the first AA Wraith and used the mortar Wraith as Brute bait and cover as I killed everything in the next room. No problems there. But then, one of the Brute Bodyguards hopped in the plasma cannon so I overcharged his armour off only to headshot him and get a flash of blue and a laugh back. Then came 5 solid minutes of me shooting (PP overcharges too), meleeing and having marines in the Ghost and Hornet join in unitl eventually he just died after a tiny burst from the Hornet.
Really weird stuff, has anyone else ever encountered this glitch? It was like the Brute had a second armour which wasn't affected by Plasma Pistols.

Wait, I don't get it, a Brute bodyguard from the room with the War Chieftain hopped in a Wraith's Plasma Cannon and never died until a Hornet came and killed him?

Yeah, I forwarded the film to you in case you wanted to examine it further. It was only about 10 minutes in so you won't have to search for it.

I had something strange happen in one of my runs (possibly the Covie Kamikaze, but I don't remember). I destroyed a Brute's armor via plasma pistol, but then I tried to follow up with a headshot, and the BR bullets were deflected! I tried shooting him in the head repeatedly but had the same results. Finally, he did one of his short-range lunge attacks and I assassinated him. I'm pretty sure this happened in the Citedel, but I can't remember for sure. In the 2.0 Tips & Tricks guide you will soon see on HBO, it addresses this type of event as "Special Berserks". This also includes Cloaked Berserks and Weapon-Wielding Berserkers.

EDIT: I also went on a brief rant regarding the game's broken geometry. Should be a fun read.

I see, so it has happened before. My problem was that I couldn't assassinate him because he wasn't getting out of the Wraith for anyone. I also saw a Brute berserk with his Brute Shot still firng yesterday while I was doing CLASO with Gazas.

EDIT: Make sure to link the new part of the guide when you finish writing it up, you do put perspective on things, such as when you were introducing the Chopper on Tsavo Highway, "I have to admit, as a motorcyclist myself I've always wanted one of these things. Imagine a state trooper trying to pull one of those over! " I chuckled when I read that.

There are two common occasions where a Brute beserks with its weapon firing. On The Ark, the Carbine Brute at the Prowler bit. And The Brute Shot Brute in the Motor Pool on Crow's Nest.

I've also noticed that it happens with the first Captain on The Ark (from the first skirmish) as well as the Barracks in Crow's Nest. Those two missions seem like the main ones, though it could also happen on others and I just don't see it enough to take note.

The exact same thing happened to me, it was as if he still had shields.

And the Cloaked Berserks are just lovely, I got them ALL doing this in the room on my first Covenant run ever, I made it that far and I just had to get them all berserk while being cloaked.

The Storm hates me, everything going wrong. Unlucky and stupid, just cannot do this mission for some reason.

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

I hate "The Storm!"

Every little thing just sets me off! A single shot from a Plasma Pistol or a Brute deciding he doesn't want to get shot in the head when he is in berserk mode so he rips me apart.

I even did the best run ever, I shot a Sniper at the Scarab head and if you were to watch it in theater, the snipe shot comes right out of the back and destroys it.

However, when getting to the AA gun, a Brute goes, "No thanks, I rather not get killed by being shot in the head!"

Bleh...

I know that too well, I've done it before but it was the hardest mission mythic I've done so far. Well, in comparison to what it should be. sierra is as hard for me as it should but I hate the randomness of The Storm. Stupid mistakes + bad luck = give up.

The Storm isn't so bad as long as you know that you can do it. If you believe that you will then you will. That's been my philosophy with every mythic mission I've played to date and it hasn't let me down yet. Raw Determination can overcome factors such as luck and skill if you need it to.

Interesting update: Bungie isn't responsible for the rendered Mythic runs... >_>

Now that's strange. I can't see anyone who could actually render those simply sue to lack of render points even if a glitch were to remove the render cap.
The plot thickens and I'm getting more confused.

Pretty strange, and scary. Sure it benefits us but still.

I now proclaim the once in a lifetime:
The Ghost of Render-Beta vs Disembodied Soul... or are they the same thing?

I might watch one of these rendered vids tomorrow although Tyrant's Crow's Nest is still rendering and has been since yesterday.

hey tyrant i just want to inform you that you should Make it clear to the player tha if they were ban at anytime in their career that they will not get recon on the Summer Recon Challenge, because i did the recon challenge not knowing that i wouldn't win the challenge because i was ban so i thought that was going to get anything out of that time i put in the challenge, but i im glad that i found slaso. Thats all i wanted to tell you. Thank you for your time.


I just found this little bundle of joy in my inbox. I'll be nice and protect the identity of the sender, but here's an example of someone who doesn't know how to read the rules despite the constant reminders. Do NOT be like this kid!

Hey guys, just wondered what you'd say is the best approach for Tsavo Highway. I ussually kamikaze the first part up to the first shielded door, but that is normally where I die. The Fuel=-od, Choppers, Shades, and occasionally snipers will ussually end me beofre I can pass through. I have luckliy beat it once or twice but luck was NOT on my side when I was killed by the final wraith, when it's turret was dead. Any tips? I have watched the guide but I still normally die here. Maybe I just need more patience.
On a side note, Mythic is the bomb. Believe it or not, I feel I will eventually complete it. Since I'm a 5-star I has really lost interest in matchmaking, so boy was I glad whne this 'Summer Mythic Recon Challenge' came around. So thanks for all of your help guys.

Well I just finally beat The Storm on Mythic -hopefully you got my entry, Tyrant-- first time I have beaten that level on Mythic.

It's funny how well things can go when you play through it with Blind and Iron off, but as soon as you turn them on and go for it, all kinds of crazy random stuff happens. (Having both missile launchers inexplicably blown up at the scarab part, being killed by a marine's missile launcher while standing on the catwalk getting ready to jump on the scarab, ect.)

Oh well, it's done! Quite the challenge in some parts.
