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...

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

That last sprint to the Pelican in Cortana was terrifying lol.

Wow i am sincerely jealous of your ability to do SLASO i have followed your walk through to the letter and many others but i still cannot manage to complete more than a few levels online play skill is truly a completely alien like skill to the skill it takes to complete SLASO im a colonel and this is one of the hardest things i have encountered im positive that most generals cannot do this. SLASO takes stagity and quick thinking and LOTS of patients i will keep trying till i get my recon before ODST comes to stores. Wish me luck... i will truly need it.

If I manage to complete Mythic, then I might be the first Captain to do so. It will be good to tell people that I have done it when they criticize me for having such a low matchmaking rank.

I have watched the walkthrough for The Storm and was wandering if you guys had any points to add that could be useful.

1 - If you watched the walktrough I think you did then when you get into the Wraith to take down the remaining enemies stay far as some times ghosts will rush and that can do some hefty damage!
2 - For the scarab part if both missle pods are destroyed you can head over to the lift with the sniper and wait up there till you can jump onto the scarab, keep your rockets out and you can use 4 bullets if you collected the ammo.
3 - Arbiter + Rockets = Klutch
4 - If Arbiter somehow dies near the final area where you VS the gravity hammer chieftan, keep doging him and collect the rockets and kill him with the remaining ammo.
4 - If the Arbiter is stuck in a corner getting PWNED by hunters this is great because this leaves thier back wide open, get some spike grenades and plasma grenades in thier! but be careful not to get to close as the hunters can dop that 180 degree hit.

Feel free to check out my run which includes these tips :) and hope they helped!

Do you know if there is a faster time than Pahis's 9:35 for Cortana on Mythic?

If anyone has, they're not saying. Nothing in the HSH queue, no mention on the forums. Go for it!

I'll tell you one thing about most of Pahis' runs: He fights. He fights well, and he fights quick. But he lacks some tricks. Tricks are the real time saver. Nicely proved by Rorcin's recent stomping of all the current Floodgate records.

I just finished Halo on Mythic.

Congrats! I'll give your film a watch.

To everyone:

Also, one tactical note when forced to deal with Sword Flood in the reactor room: sticky them. When I've done this, most of the time, they've been blasted into the abyss. At the very least, their shields will be reduced if not gone, so just ready your Carbine just in case.

Got a bit frustrated at Sierra today. Got really far a couple of times only to die in the most annoying ways. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take so long, and didn't get harder as it went on... I think I'm going to resort to playing a little more aggressively: moving up closer to get those headshots easier and such. Because honestly, doing it the slow and steady, range-shooting way with so many enemies to plow through is absolutely agonising.

I completed Sierra, but the game stats aren't showing. I'm really hoping they will show in the morning, as every skull was on and I was on Live. Ughh, this isn't fair. Took me nearly two hours after countless fails just to have it not work.
Official, it didnt work. Statistics were down earlier. I guess I would be redoing it next friday anyways, but it is still dissapointing. =(

Providing you incorporated the carnage report into the film, you should be able to prove that you completed Sierra on Mythic. Based upon events within the level, such has grunts exploding, extra dialogue, etc, you should also be able to prove that you have the silver skulls activated as well.

woops ... of course

ahh well

ya get the idea.

You would be surprised how attainable Mythic is once you start. I have only been doing it for a short while and have already completed two missions. As long as you have the determination to do it then that's half the battle already won.

Quick question guys - Can a frag grenade cause a dead range form explode like a spike grenade? Because I was just trying to complete Cortana, had just rescued her and was clearing out the side packed with stalkers. Threw a flame nade and then a frag, and the frag seemed to make the range form explode?

And then I just watched it in slow mo' - and there was some random spike grenade explosion right below me. =/

Well, the Catch skull can cause enemies to drop grenades more frequently as well as throw them. For some reason it makes Ranged Forms drop a pair of Spike Grenades. Then the Cowbell skull causes dropped grenades to be capable of detonating when in the range of other explosions, shots or melee attacks. Meaning that Ranged Forms have martyrdom. :-(

Does that answer your question?

Swords are one-hit against Tank Forms if you hit their mouth right? Two hits anywhere else? Also, they seem broken as my Sword keeps going right through them sometimes and they manage to hit me when I'm not even close to them, as if the animations are mixed up or something.

I have got to ask, what were the submissions like for The Covenant?

More information regarding Mythic difficulty can be found at this thread

I finished Cortana. That makes 6/9 done. Mostly normal run except for the two sword flood that were spawned in the reactor room after I rescued Cortana. Fortunately, the sword flood in the projector room and the very beginning of Pelican Hill didn't spawn. Yay!

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

Cortana shouldn't be a tough mission for people who have been doing them all so far. It's just that people see it as being so because it is widely the most disliked mission in the game. Most Legendary help threads I see seem to highlight this level as being the most difficult. It isn't difficult. It's just different, and people can't get a grasp on it. So if you've been following along so far, than this should be a welcomed break for you.

As for submissions regarding The Covenant, they were actually about the same as Tsavo Highway. We've had a few more for Cortana, but I think that people who've stuck with it for this long are planning on seeing the challenge through.

You guys make me proud to be apart of this community :-)

I hope you don't mean the WHOLE community of Halo 3 with the trashtalkers and etc. Just people who are actually well minded enough to know not to get mad over a game. Anyway I hope you got my PM cause I was really confused.

Anyway the levels don't appeal to me much as being hard on regular legendary. But if anything i think the most challenging is either The Ark or Crow's Nest.

I can agree that Cortana wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. It's my first Mythic mission that I've completed, and all it took was to have a basic strategy, a bit of skill and a little bit of luck.

Now all I can hope for is that I submitted my entry properly :P
