Panda, I'm willing to do CLASO any time. I, also, find it fun. So if I'm on and I'm not working on 4-man mythic with Dark, Gazas, and Salsa then hit me up for some CLASO. GT: Sangheilioz


Alright, not that I like making demands or anything, but please, I ask... I even beg that if you and your teammate already have Recon, don't compete in the competition. I mean, yeah, do 2 person SLASO all you want, but don't submit your entry. You will just be hurting other peoples chances of getting recon.
They both have it, they can't win it. That's why the challenge is still on, since me and Dark won but already got Recon from Tyrant.

Who's to say they dont like wearing DOUBLE RECON?

But I must appologize to everyone in our game last night... THE girl showed up unexpectedly, and with her moving tomorrow, the first thing I could think of was completely shut down what I was doing to talk with her.

The Storm. The Storm....

Ya know what? I blame the Chinese! Ya know why? Cus they invented Kung Fu. Then Kung Fu gets exported to Europe. Then Europeans start Kung Fu clubs. Then I go to university, I and join a Kung Fu club. And the week that the competition for The Storm was on, was the annual Kung Fu holiday. So, I had like, a 3 hour window between when the competiton for that level started and the time when i would have to pack up my Xbox and ship it back home so I could go on the holiday. Obviously, I wasn't practiced enough by that point, and failed to complete it. Leaving me with no entry for The Storm that week and no eligability for the 10th raffle.

Of course, I came right back the week after and did both The Storm and Tsavo Highway on the same day.

Ugh. I mean, I'd already resigned myself from pretty early on in the competition to having to get the Vidmaster's to get Recon. The competition was then really just a motivator for Mythic. But its annoying ya know? Doing the campaign on Mythic within the same timeframe as a dozen other people, coming within touching distance almost, and missing out because I was on holiday!

@ anyone who successfully Kamikazed The Covenant:
Is there a trick to driving the Gauss Hog from Tower 3 to the Scarabs? I can get to the Hog fairly consistently, but I've gotten to the Scarabs less than 10 times. As far as I can tell, I do it perfectly (except for the first couple tries), but obviously I'm not. I tend to die most often when I turn the corner into the 2 Ghosts and Mortar Wraith (so freaking close...). Anybody have any helpful hints?

Just before that corner, there is a large cliff face between you and the Wraith. You can get up and over that cliff. As you come round the large curve toward where the Prowlers hang out, along the base of the cliff (between you and the wraith) should be two rocks. A large one, and a slightly smaller one. Drive betwen those and you should be able to get up the cliff face (you should also know the place as, when you look at the cliff, its the lowest part.

Going over here will drop you behind the wraith and sniper tower on the rock area. Be slow on the descent though, an invisible barrier can catch you if you're too fast and lose contact with the cliff-face too early.

BTW. I'm doing this from memory so forgive me if my description is a little off.

In regards to that, I will drop out and let another conqueror who is looking for Recon team up with Chris. I'd prefer to see two conquerors get Recon out of this instead of one.

If not, we are going to finish what we started.

A simple add-on to what RC said... make sure you have full shields. Also, downloading a conqueror's film wouldn't hurt either if you are having a lot of trouble, so you can see exactly how it is done.

Or you can use the tank. It doesn't take too long.

Its not. Do the Vidmasters.

And if you do Mythic now, you won't get Recon anyway.

Except me for some reason....still don't know why or if it will be resolved. I just met coughingsux in matchmaking so the odds of meeting another Mythic Conqueror in matchmaking are....that.

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

Midnight, did you submit your game stats for each mission for the tenth drawing? You had to submit them during that last week to be eligible, so if you didn't submit them then that would be why you didn't get it....

Midnight, We'll probably receive it soon. We just have to wait, I'm not sure if you received a PM from Tyrant explaining it or not, but if you hadn't, I'll let you know.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

I know I havn't been on in a while but I would just like to say congrats to all the people that obtained recon and you truly deserve it especially the original 8.

He said the reason why we didn't get it yet was because he had accidentally spelled our names wrong. So he had to resubmit our names. No Worries.

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

Yes. Rest assured that the mistake came from my end of the table. Not yours.

I took some initiative myself and contacted a Bungie Employee anyway. Why should only Tyrant be able to inform them I need Recon if I have earned it? That's my thinking. Don't tell me, "Oh you'll never get it now cause they never give it to anyone that asks." I've already thought of that.

Besides, if I get banned from getting it then I have all the possible armors for me to get so I have reached my goal :)

Does anyone have video of this in their File Share? I have no problem with trying it the next time I get there (considering how many times I've already failed, what's one more?), but it'd be extra helpful if I could see it done beforehand. Video or not, thanks for the tip.

@ Salsa: Mediocre as I am at this Mythic thing, I refuse to use the tank. I don't really have a good reason. Maybe it's 'cause no matter how many times I fail at it, Tyrant makes the Hog rush look so easy, I'm convinced I can do it too. I downloaded Pojat's Kamikaze film, but considering how high a bar he sets, that might not have been the best idea. I actually got to the very end once by emulating Pojat's run, but died trying to plasma punch an Elite combat form (apparently I missed?). I about punched a hole through my Vizio.
