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.


It's like 22mins long though.

Ohh and has any ever had the hornet that is scripted to die not come well i did i got up to near the shade spawn and it was flying into a tree.

Yup. It does happen from time to time. Drunken Marines...

Signatures are for squares.

I was almost an hour and a half into the covenant, at the top of the third tower. My carbine and one of my plasma pistols got locked into the lift, and I couldn't pick them up. I had 4 plasma pistols, a laser with 2 shots, a power Drainer, and a needler to take out the entire room, and I managed to kill all of the Stalkers, but the chieften survived both lasers. By now I only had the needler left, and when it was out of ammo I tried to rush the chieften. When I died, I noticed I still had a fuel rod on my back. -FML.

Go for it anyway please, I'm interested now. Besides, 22 mins is nothing compared to some of the runs I poach from random File Shares.
And no, I haven't had the scripted Hornet get drunk and fly into a tree, however I have had one of the ambient, undetailed Hornets fly directly up out of the water in front of Tower One...

Is there any way you'd accept a film without stats tyrant? For some reason my xbox won't connect to the internet, I've left the game paused with the master chief at the very end of the Covenant, hoping that it will start working. Could I just take a screenshot of the post game carnage report and send that to you after I get the internet connected again? At the moment I'm just hoping I can get the internet working again, but if you need the stats I'm sure I'll be able to do it again.

Your best bet is to NOT complete the game until you regain internet connection. I need them connected for it to count for obvious reasons. Do NOT finish the game until you are back on Live. I believe this is what Matclan did.

Yep, during Sierra 117 I was just about to get in the Pelican at the end when my internet cut out. The only thing you can do is pause the game and wait to regain connection, then bring up the guid eand reconnect to XBL so that the stats will be sent to b.net.
Patience is a virtue. :-P

Have the winner of Tsavo Highway been notified yet? I may have missed something.

Yup. The winner of Tsavo was chosen last week just as I booked it out of town. And then there were four... lol.

Good news to YOU guys though is that the number has dropped again, so expect better odds this time around.

Better odds, yes. Good odds? Well unless only 10 people have completed it, maybe. lol.

And Dark, that is too bad. Ouch.

I usually rate them from 1-5. I'd give The Covenant a "3". It gets much worse from here. Send the film to me.

Finally managed to get my xbox connected to the internet :)
How often is it that the chieftain at the top of the first tower spawns with a flare? It happened on my sucessful run, and it caught me by surprise. Never seen that before on legendary.

i keep dying at the 3rd tower from that damn chief, if i get him beat im pretty sure from there its easy so heres hoping o_O

  • 07.14.2009 9:28 AM PDT

Well, I beat The Covenant with every skull on except Iron (it was a practice run). I would suggest that everyone who's new to Mythic tries this first, as I got a feel for what works and what doesn't work without wasting a lot of time. For me, I used a hybrid of the slow strategy and kamikaze, switching over to the latter before tower three.

Also, pretty on-topic for this thread, but who exactly do we PM with the vid. should we succeed?

^ I found it easier to take out the stalker brutes first, then dodge behind those wall-ish things to either side of him, and then going for the assassination. It worked fine for me. On my trial run after that I did not die once (actually, I did making a mistake dodging around the brutes, hunters, and flood exiting the tower, but it's smooth sailing from there).

it happens when you've killed all the invisible brutes and its just you and him in close proximity happen to me on my most successful run yet. soldiering on

Tyrant does it matter at all about time ?

could make it a rather dry video
