I did Cortana! One day before deadline!
Now, how many people entered? Just curious.

Probably 40 or more.


I'd be guessing around the 50-60 mark.
I wonder how many will enter for Sierra 117?

And wow, 12'000 posts. Doesn't seem like anything since we were going on 10'000 and the SMRC was just beginning. I'm quite glad of the amount of players it's managed to attract who've become active in this thread. The fact that we've still got ample material to discuss without going way off topic is also amazing, as is the fact that flamers and trolls seem to ignore this thread despite it looking like an appealing target. The Mythic community makes me happy face. :-D

It is not over yet. I really hope to get through it tonight. I have made it toward the end a few times, and hopefully I can pull it off.

"You have to belive." to quote DarkDEVASTAT10N and his slightly funny grammar fail.
Seriosusly though, set yourself goals in small sections such as "In this run I will get to Cortana" then build it up gradually. Or just be determined to finish it first time and don't make mistakes. Either way I'm sure you can do it, good luck.

Well in the end I gave up on Cortana. I'm gonna set my sights on sierra followed by crows nest, and then go back to it. Like I've been saying, it's just not my style of mission, I'm more of an S&S specialist. Cortana is too in-my-face. =]

Cortana can be done S&S. Look at my runs, both are 40 minutes+. It's just a matter of stealthily exposing yourself just to make a good shot or stick on a Ranged Form and then backing offf again while Combat forms and Tank Forms rush you, and since they generally only come 1 at a time if you're positioned correectly, (i.e in a dorrway such as the one at the entrance to the Hive or the exit of the corridor after rescuing Cortana) they're easy to deal with when using a Sword.

i just beat the water temple, but I stopped for a long time. Its hard to get back into it.
Also, on the note of the water, if a jackal sniper falls in can he still snipe you? I have knocked them in 3 times now, and I always go in to kill them out of fear of being killed.


I believe the AI won't fire underwater. I had a Brute fall in next to me when I was toying with the idea of rushing past the area. I got right up to him and he would only melee me. I backed off, he didn't shoot me. I haven't explicitly tested it, but I believe this is the case.

I seem destined not to complete the levels before the competition week for one reason or another. Ah well. Sierra 117 tomorrow!

I'm a great guy really.

Damn you Harty, you've gone through making me look an idiot all the way through on the ones I found harder, and now you fail at on of the easier ones for me. Hope you fail and get stuck on the others, I want to beat you but won't.

Yeah, that was fun. : )

Sierra 117 starting soon. I think I'll leave that for the morning. Vacation ftw!

Hey i have been doing my runs off-line all summer, and i was wondering if i will still be considered a Mythic Champion once i am able to put them on-line?

I do have scoring turned on and I am saving all the videos, but the carnage reports are not going to show up on bungie.net.

btw i know these runs are not valid for recon, because they are off-line. i would rather have my GT on that list than have recon anyway.



Sierra 117- Complete.

Crow's Nest- Complete. (not uploaded yet)

Tsavo Highway- Complete.

The Storm- Complete.

Floodgate- Complete.

The Ark- In Progress. Reached final battle, Died by Chieftain.

The Covenant- Complete. (not uploaded yet)

Cortana- Reached Hells Hallway.

Halo- Complete.

I hate to say it, but your runs most likely won't count. Its hard to prove skulls like cowbell are on. Other than that though. I believe you, but I personally am too lazy to DL 9 videos. If you can prove it to tyrant though, I don't see why not.
