I did a test run for cortana and i got to the core room with like 2 deaths then i had one of those random mythic moments i had an elite form following me armless and indestructible i hit it like 20 times with my sword and it didn't die.

I probably wont have time to do Cortana. With some luck I might be able to make it for one of the last contests though.

  • 07.17.2009 7:39 PM PDT

Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding Cortana to be easier than The Covenant (I couldn't finish the latter, I found out about the SMRC a little late in the competition). In my first run I got to the end of the hive. Not bad for a first run, I guess.

Do you know if there is a faster time than Pahis's 9:35 for Cortana on Mythic? I thought I saw you post elsewhere that you had a time two minutes faster than 10:59, which would put you under the fastest time on HighSpeedHalo.

I would like to know because I believe I can get Mythic Cortana to under 9 min, but if someone else has already done that, then I would like to know the time to beat.

If anyone knows, I would appreciate the input ASAP as I will be doing runs all tomorrow afternoon. Thanks.

Dang...got all the way past the sniper forest on Sierra before dieing. Stupid Snipers hide in the hardest places. I thought they were all down but one remained. I think I;m just gonna go straight to Crows Nest, as Sierra is just a matter of killing snipers, which I seem to be pretty good at. Unless the damn is 3 times harder than the snipers, I should be fine.


The dam is more like 5x harder than sniper forest. At least in the forest you can take weapons by force. You can't do this while on the ledge at the dam.
Otherwise it's not so bad until the endless grenade spam gets on your nerves and you begin to run low on ammo reserves.

i guess I'll just keep running through. And btw, Crows Nest looks a lot easier than I remember. I played one runthrough and almost beat the motor pool battle. Just got unlucky when trying to recharge my shields, final carbine brute before chieftain would have berserked. I hate when an enemy berserks but doesnt run to you, they just stay back then pull their gun back out. Thats why I died. Oh well, I guess I'll complete Sierra hopefully by Monday then practice some Crow.
How is everyone else finding Cortana? I found it was super easy =)

I received my Halo 3 Recon armor on 8-3-09 for completing Sierra 117 on Mythic Difficulty through the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge.

If you think that's bad, I was having a pretty good run up until the reactor room. I saved Cortana, cleared the room, and whie looking for supplies/grenades, I fell of the stupid tiny ledges. I realize I had a way to go but that's just frustrating. I agree it's not as hard as I thought, but a LOT can go wrong and no walkthough I've watched has been perfectly accurate yet.

I figured I can wait till odst.

I just finished Halo on Mythic. Although a few minor things didn't go according to plan, the majority of the level went fairly smoothly. Of course, I was preying that I didn't crash the warthog near the end of the level.

Two down, seven to go.

For those who are interested, here is a link to the video on my fileshare.

Mythic Peeps,

I had some bad experiences aswell after an awesome friend (MATCLAN) informed me 3 of my SLASO runs were void due to being completed offline. He claimed that if I did it offline there would be no stat page to be viewed giving me no proof to show I did the levels legitly! I had to re-do The Storm, Halo and The Covenant >.< this had set me back to 4/9 Missions instead of 7/9! I luckily finshed The Storm first go but Halo took a few tries :S. The Covenant is becoming easier by the second but I have still not succeded. Thanks to MATCLAN I now know when to do my mission... ONLINE! anyway feel free to DL some vids on my FS.

Good LucK!

[edit] - I was informed by MATCLAN that there is currently 1 person on 8/9 so if I can do Covie only Cortana and The Ark to go!

Unlucky, you should've known that.

  • 07.18.2009 8:21 AM PDT

mongooses are the best. Remember that.

Do you like to forge? Want a place to share your maps? Want to join a friendly forging group? Plasmic Forgers

This is extremely hard, I'm still working on beating Cortana on the mythic difficulty.

Yea, it's kind of a bummer, Recon won't seem that special after every one has it, like the Katana armor. (I never wear mine). Oh well, it's been fun playing SLASO challenges for a chance to win Recon before everyone else has it. Not to mention, being a Mythic Conqueror will yield more respect than wearing Recon after the release of ODST. How about flaming heads or a custom armor color for our achievement as Mythic Conquerors? (Contest not even over and getting greedy...Sorry I'm in sales)

Was just about so say but I figured it hasn't updated his picture. Although that does mean that he does wear it. =)

And I'll be away today so I probably won't be able to finish Cortana today, I'll be tired and stuff so I'm gonna have to wait another day.

  • 07.18.2009 10:18 AM PDT

I know, I laughed after I saw the post... More of a point I was trying to make.
BTY, Recon looks cool in blue. Congrats

Alright so I submitted the film for it. However I did die but it reset me to the beggining. In the film it says it's about 44 mins, but Bnet, it says around 39. And it says no deaths at the Carnage but if you look at my film I did die on the first try. So I'm just wondering basing off that the fact that when it reset and I did complete without dying the second time am I still legible for the raffle? Right now, I am guessing that I am not.

Actually you are, as long as your run is from beginning to the end with no deaths (which you said you did) it counts. Basically, dying in the film is fine. As long as it restarted and you completed the level. Going back to the menu and restarting just makes the film easier to view.

So anyways, good job on completing Cortana.

Yes, as stated in the rules. Why would you want Recon if you couldn't use it online? Splitscreen, I guess, but that only goes so far...
