This is exciting, Green and Chris vs. Dark and Gazas. I think it will all come down to who beats the Ark the fastest.

We should start The Ark tuesday. The Storm and Floodgate tommorow.
The veteran conquerors vs. the new conquerors : )

If we get some good luck, we hope to complete the Storm tonight. I've done some testing on the Storm today and I've got it all planned out without the Arbiter. If we don't have good luck, we are probably going to do the Storm, Floodgate, and maybe even the Ark tomorrow.

I think you are underestimating the Ark. There are some parts where Arby takes the damage. Without him, you will be left to fend for yourselves. I also think the very last battle will prove more challenging than ever with two people, unless one sits back and watches.
The Ark actually isn't much different from SLASO to Mythic CLASO. I've already went on a CLASO run of the Ark with General Khazard a week or so ago. It isn't too bad except, of course, for length.

The hardest part to do without Arby is probably going to be the room just before the Cartographer, there's a lot of Brute Shots in there that could cause problems.
The last battle would be easy though; one player could stay at the top of the ramp and draw fire and act as an overwatch telling the player below when the AI is distracted or too interested in them.

Hi

Turns out we can't do much tomorrow either. Dark and Gazas, this is where you can take the lead... at least for now.

Oh and congrats on doing Tsavo.

how would we know if you did it on mythic without dying since every mission is a separate video we wouldn't really know you could of just put your completed one after x amounts of failing

sorry im kinda being a skeptic

Bah! I wouldn't be surprised to see those two win. They're veterans...they have so much more experience. Then again...I've never seen what any of you new conquerors can do, but I don't think you could show me any surprises. I'm VK...I invented a good deal of the tricks in the book!

I'm tempted to get back in to the swing of things so I can wear off some of the rust I've accumulated before ODST comes around. But first I'll need a partner.

I think I'll check in to see if I'm invalid for the competition. Even if I'm not, as I already said...it's less than a month until ODST. I have some rust to get rid of.

Hallo VK : )

I wouldn't be surprised if Dark and Gazas win either. But for Chris and I, time constraints are our real problem. We got 3 missions in the first day, and now two days of nothing because of reality.

  • 08.23.2009 7:28 PM PDT

Three in one day? Not bad...well, depends mainly on if you're doing them out or order or not and if they're doing them out of order or not as well. There are a few missions I can see as being a slight pain, but given there is some framework already laid down from Tyrant and I doing Dual-Mythic.....

Well, you know. Our success paves a way. In fact, as I recall, someone rendered our Dual-Mythic Storm run some time ago. I still have no idea who it was, but hey, I appreciate it.

The contest demands it to be in order, so we did Sierra 117, Crow's Nest, and Tsavo Highway. Tsavo actually gave us the most problems.

It just so happens that I downloaded your dual mythic run of the Storm to see how you guys dealt with the brutes and hunters after the scarab. I learned from it (cortana sequence despawns weapons after the scarab) and modified it for our run (4 rockets = dead hunter, bring lots of plasma pistols for brutes).

We all know how hard The Ark is, but I have a method of dealing with the brutes and the plasma cannon chieftain room. I think that we are going to do good on that level. If me and Play Doh could actually stay on past 9:00, we might actually be able to get something done.

Well see, that is the thing... they completed the campaign long before we did. That means that the methods of beating the missions are still fresh in our mind and all we have to do is have the skill to get through it. Don't underestimate the power of a rookie. We have ALL completed the campaign SLASO, just some did it before others.

Sounds to me like you took some notes from our CLASO run the other day also. Even if I'm not doing this Twin-Mythic competition for lack of a partner (plus, I play as an elite half the time anyway) I'm glad I contributed a bit by running CLASO with you on a few levels.

For the nay-sayers about the brute shots before the map on The Ark, Salsa and I were able to beat that room pretty easily, if I remember correctly. Just takes some Plasma Pistols, sticky 'nades, and a lot of jumping. The final fight was pretty easy too. dual-wielding plasma pistols with the invincibility makes the 6 jumpjet brutes a cinch, especially with a teammate hanging back and headshotting them as you take out the shields. Basically, the trick to co-op mythic is to utilize teamwork regardless of who gets the points.

Well, you have another day to complete The Ark without competition. Tomorrow though we are back in the competition! I can play a tiny bit today (maybe an hour or 2). But if Play Doh can stay on for a little bit past 9, we may be able to beat the Storm and Floodgate and be tied again.

You seemed to get off to a rocky start but now you're like Mythic machines.

Cortana might slow us down a bit. Halo too for that matter but Halo is so easy it shouldn't be a problem.

Cortana has random stuff in it but yeah...Like we've not had enough randomness Dark...

They are a few examples.
Thats what makes it fun.

Yeah and then I was drinking some Coke at The Ark and when he was at the Chopper he said "Hey Gazas, punch the Chopper. I almost choked to death.

Story:
We're rushing with the Warthog, going past the two Choppers and the Wraith. A Chopper comes close to us and Dark says "Punch the Chopper!" for fun. I did. I hit Dark.

Restart, I didn't realize the mission was started because I laughed my ass off. Died in the fire.

Empty Mongoose splattered me from nowhere in The Ark. The Mongoose was destroyed as well.

Hornet splattered Dark as he ran away at the Scarab in The Storm.

Wraith hitting exactly where I stand by accident at the Scarab in The Ark.

Dark not knowing that there actually are enemies on the Scarab in The Ark.

Doing the Pelican hop at the Jump Pack part in Crow's Nest. I miss the jump and fall down.

Dark shooting me in the head from behind at the Barracks. Randomness FTW, I'm an Elite.

Phantom hitting me with one shot in the foot at the Dam.

Three Suicide Grunts in the Water when we skip the River.

Jackal sniping me out of the Warthog when we're att full speed, just completing the first part at Tsavo.

Me dying for no reason in the Wraith in the end of Tsavo.

Dark, do you remember anything else? Tell me if you do.
