I might check out 2.5 just fort he sake of it. I'm useless at kamikaze runs normally, but if there's any structure involved and not as much luck I may try it.


The two main areas of "luck" come from the Tower One entry and the Tower Three exit (and possibly the Chieftain as well). Usually if I die, that's where it happens.


Indeed, I felt this aswell. The Flood at the front of Tower 3 always attracted the Hunters. Hunters + Flood = Death. Entering Tower 1 wasn't to bad, I skipped the first battle everytime so for me, that was the first battle everytime.

No, You need to have a gold membership to be able to use the fileshare. If you have and 48 hour codes, just use them maybe, just to get onto the fileshare and submit it then.

Actually, I use a Silver as a backup-fileshare and it works fine. The problem is that to activate the Silver's fileshare, a file had to be uploaded while it was a Gold (the free month that all Silver's get).

So technically he could be fine with a Silver, but if he never played Halo 3 with it, then you probably won't be able to.

I say do the slow and steady on the scarabs ramen, it is much less risky, and silly mistakes such as taht will not occur. Just sit back and put some tank shells into thos scarabs, and verything around them, and once everything is dead (and I mean everything), proceed to the scarab (there should be one left), hop on and blow'er up.


Thing is is that I wasn't trying to board one. I just wanted to move the hornet so I could use it later. I jumped in the passenger seat on accident, got out in mid-air, and fell to my death. I didn'teven have a chance to spawn the scarabs I don't think.

Trust me, slow and steady is the way I do this. I spent a good 20 mins stockpiling for the 3rd tower chieftain.

I got to the Pelican on Crows Nest and got to the top, but Arbiter died and I was having to do sweep control on the bottom enemies while waiting on wave 2 to show up. When I finally got wave 2 to come I had to rush out and only could kill 3 of them. With this done there were only a couple of enemies on the ground level but one had a Carbine and one with a Bruteshot I got smacked everytime I went out to kill some one. Needless to say the splash damage from the Bruteshot killed me.

Any tips? The Arbiter did have the Plasma Cannon also.


Don't give Arby the Plasma Cannon, if you're up top supporting him he ideally wants his Sword handy. With the cannon he can't melee enemies and that's kinda what he's best at in that area.

EDIT: Also make sure you have a Deployable cover when you get up to the top, juggle this with the Invis into the corridor behind the control centre then take the DC and jam the doorway at the bottom. This prevents wave 3's AI from activating... AKA you get to have some fun with the brutes, it becomes a little torture chamber of sorts.
Then after sealing the door you should head back up quickly and grab the Invis, stay in the corridor and watch the area where wave 2 spawn. They should appear soon and then you run out cloaked and assassinate as many as possible before doing what you did. When assassinating them try to prioritise those with Carbines and Brute Shots, particularly Brute Shots as the splash damage can penetrate the walls of the control centre.

I feel so stupid now. I was doing great all the way up to tower 3, until I found out that I forgot the FRC at tower one. I then took a brute shot to the face. :( This is a very fun challenge and I can't wait to try it again. Beating the storm was such a great feeling. I can't wait until I beat the covenant. I almost always get to tower 3 now.

Hi

On the level Sierra 117, I know that you can do a trick jump to skip the first battle by jumping on the rocks on the right. I've been able to pull it off a few times, but I'm still not sure exactly how to go about making that jump. What is the method to making that jump?

Dont crouch jump. Just jump normally and then press Jump again. After, just wiggle your way up.

Guys at tower one I try to plasma pistol and BR the Brutes. But two with brutes shots stick with the chieftain and always doge my shots and use their cover effectively. How do I take care of them?

Bring a Beam Rifle instead of a Plasma Pistol. You can get a PP fromt he crate on the right of the lift. The Brutes are too slow to dodge Beam Rifle fire and it only takes two shots to remove their armour (or kill them if the second shot is a headshot).

I crouch jump first, then mash the jump button. I think the biggest problem is that people think they r t going to make it, so they hold back on their thumbstick. Just keep holding forward. At least, that's how I've always done it... I fear change :)

Thanks. I'll try the jump both ways. I was trying to make two consecutive crouch jumps... that almost always got me nowhere.

This is my first time trying Mythic, and I have to say it's much more fun and challenging than I thought it would be. The one thing that's killing me is using snipers, the BR, and the carbine without a reticule or scope. Are there any tips for using these guns with Blind on, or at least tips for improving my skill with them?

So far I've gotten to the end of Tower 1, I plan on trying again tomorrow at some point.

Start up a level with many grunts (Sierra works if you can find a BR, like johnsons), and just bring them down. no need to have all skulls on, just blind, and practice. If you still suck, try making a reticule in the center of your screen. Like tape would work, so you know where to aim.

EDIT: What level do you guys suggest I begin practicing. Cortana or Sierra? I would like to complete Cortana first day so I;m leaning towards it, but it does not sound that hard.
Sierra on the other hand seems like a real challenge and i aleast want to get the beggining down.

Don't underestimate Cortana. There are a couple spots that definately have to be practiced. i.e. The Hive, Returning to Hell's Hallway and Returning to the Projector Room.

Still, Cortana shouldn't take more than 3-4 days to get it down if you practice it now. Complete it first day of the challenge and you'll have the rest of this week, next week, and the following week to practice Sierra. That leaves you with over two weeks to complete Sierra.

Definately what I'm doing.

Most people i have talked to have said it took them around 200 tries to complete it.

I guess I'll go Cortana. I may be underestiamting it, but I have a good feeling for some reason.

That was an excrutiating 2 and a half hours but I did it. Soooo close to death a couple of times. Not even funny how insane things can turn out. I didn't even have to board a Scarab :)

I keep having something strange happen in tower 1 i get up top and i hear the crack of a brutes shields and then a dead brute goes flying across the room this has happened twice now. It happened after another brute walks behind the brute that dies but the brute at the back doesn't hit the brute infront so i don't know. Any thoughts?

Put the video in your file share and link it here, then I'l DL it and have a look so I can actually see what you're trying to say.
