8/9! Just under 50 minutes.

BTW guys, been a great experience so far, and I fully plan to see it through to the end at this stage (1 left! C'mon, how could I not?). Even though I and many other people have walked away (so far) with only pride of completion; the feel of finally nailing a level on the hardest difficulty Halo 3 has to offer (outside of honour rules) is amazing. Thanks to Tyrant for the great guides, HBO for the hosting, Bungie for the game (and the prizes :P) and the conquers and competitors alike for the tips and such along the way.

Am I getting too mushy on you guys? :D


Not at all! ..Thanks for asking what to title the film as well. =)

Nice time RC. I just completed the Nest with a time of 57:36... not bad for my first run through. Took mostly the 1.0 path. I would also like to know what to title the film, Tyrant :-)

About the Halo 2.0 wlakthrough, why not just 'give' Arby the Rocket Launcher?

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Well, I usually just skip right to the top without bothering to fight, but if you choose to stay down there and fight, he seems to do just fine with his plasma rifles. And really, who wants to give an angry alien explosives. It can only end in tears.

Great time RC. Glad to see you helping me (who would have guessed), but fortuantely I cleared the jump anyways. Though I forgot the deployable cover making things a real hassle. Oh well, I beat it, so whats the harm. =)

Does anyone know exactly how many conquerors there are now? I found a page listing 17 but I know there are at least 20.

Also, for those of us without Bungie Pro, how will Tyrant know that we have completed all 9 missions?

Check the list on the OP.

And nice how you guys completed Crow's Nest so easily, maybe I'm getting too old. But yeah, I'll try again later.

Id imagine he has cronies to check your campaign combat history, so see
if you have successfully completed a FFA/13 skull Legendary mission.

That and submit all 9/9 films, I bet he a stat/tracking sheet or something like that.

It would be awesome if the conqueror count goes up a few notches, I know
if I was around from the start of SMRC in June, I woulda made sure I did got
my 9/9.

I think you just need to have them done in your game history, although it would be smart to have the films saved just in case.

And Crow's Nest down in just under an hour, but I think I'm going to try again for a better time.

Nice, at least you got one in the bank! After what happened to me yesterday,I dont
care if I get a 8hour time.. Im playing prudent and efficient through and through! =P

Still, under 60minutes is still very respectable.

I am not looking forwa to the ark. If you took out the first section of the mission it would be a breeze, but with it it is hell.

Agreed. If we started in a Tank the mission would be as easy as The Covenant.

I would say easier. It is just that even if I clear the first area (kamikaze), the ghosts up ahead after the downed pelican always tend to rip me up. I think if my marines could actually survive with their rocket launcher I'd be fine but they always die. I never died after the frigate, never. =P

Yeah, the ghosts rip you up in seconds. The hardest bits in my opinion is after the Prowlers up untill the Tank.

Agreed. Which way do you approach it? Do you use teh rockets yourself to rip up all the ghosts or hand it off to your marines and let them do the work? I tried giving it to my marines but tehy died, so I had no rockets and low PP, but managed to succeed none the less. Luck was on my side for the ark.

Ermm. I haven't played that mission in about a year. I think I used the rockets myself and ripped up the Ghosts. Also, 1 spike grenade = dead Ghost. Just a nice tip there.
I normally used either a Chopper, Rocket, or a Spike Grenade to kill the Ghosts.

Also, I've got a feel not many people are going to enter Crow's Nest. I'd estimate 10-15. But hey, I may be waaaay off.

I'm thinking 20. The mission is hard, but not nearly the hardest. I'd say it is comparible to the covenant. Takes some practice but can be conquered. I beat it in under 2 hours on my first try, but hey, I guess I had soem practice from previous missions.

Screw that, lol, The Covenant is easy, screw Crow's Nest, it sucks.

The Mythic ODST Thread

I found Crow's nest to be far more easier for me than Sierra 117. Sierra 117 almost had me beat, but luckily persistence pays off =D As for CN, beat it in 44:18. I almost died at the end running to the elevator, but somehow I was able to pull it off.

More information regarding Mythic difficulty can be found at this thread

Ok, time to use everything I've learned so far, pull out all the stops. Yeah!!. About to start the Ark. If I can get to the tank I 'belive' I can pull it off. Hope to have Conqueror status soon. Wish me luck!

Good luck caruban! I for one have improved my time on Floodgate! 4:42 total time. Not bad, did it on my first try. I'm gonna try to shave 30 seconds off.
