The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

It could have been a mix up between the ODST and Marine lines.

So here's my question who could last longer in Firefight 4 MLG pros, or 4 Mythic Conquers.

I'm thinking the Conquers what do you think?


Lol, you can find your answer here and here.

My answer: MLG Pro's suck at campaign. They can't handle anything not using a BR. Walshy got owned by the suicide grunt in part 1. Lol. Conqueror's rule!!


Man, I've got to see this. lulz will be had. Thanks, Chris.


LMAO Walshy, poor show! And "Str8 Rippin is gonna be the best Firefight team out there"? Yeah right! The Mythic Conquerors are gonna stomp them so hard... the Pros didn't even know how to kill a hunter lol

So I've been practicing as of yesterday and today to get rid of some rust. But here's something I've found interesting. Start up the the Storm on Mythic. Now, one of the Marines consistently says at one point or another through the first area up until you get to the first lakebed, at one point or another: "Helljumpers triumph yet again!"

The first time he said it, I found it odd. There are no ODSTs in the Storm. Then the more he said it, the stranger it became. Maybe it's related to the approaching release of ODST? But how is it possible for the audio to be tweaked specifically for that?



I find that pretty interesting, because today I was playing The Storm and a marine randomly said "Play Ball!" from the This is Firefight! Vidoc., I heard the same voice and everything.

I've heard Marines say that before, actually.

Even if the Pistol has some recoil, their aim is abysmal. They definitely will not be the best Firefight team out there.

One of the few and the proud, a Mythic Conqueror, I am.

Finally, proof that MLG "pros" are not Halo "pros" at all. They are just a bunch of average players who obsess over a certain gametype and eventually become good at a particular thing.

It is like when you are doing a workout routine. Not only does the routine become easier because you get physically stronger, but your muscles adapt to the reps and the particular motion you are doing. That is why you have to switch your workouts routinely, so that your muscles will be less able to adapt to the technique and therefore will have to work harder on each workout.

All that pretty much means that MLG players have only adapted to the MLG gametypes. They aren't near as strong as someone that routinely changes their gametype.

Mythic Conquerors are the best players in Halo. Bar-none.

LOL the announcer pawn (he probably fantasizes about "learning" from an MLG player), "Apparently it is getting difficult." The second skull hadn't even activated yet. They were like on the second wave LOL.

P.S. Hey Coughingsucks, I call your team when we start some Mythic ODST alright? I'm psyched about it.

In ODST firefight, the Hunters are going to be so hard. Think about it, Hunters, Legendary, with maybe fuel rod chieftains, hammer chieftains, and a few skulls. I'm shaking.

OOOOO, speaking of hunter's, I found out a way to kill the hunter's that is better than using the brute shot melee attack. Use a BR. When you melee a hunter with a brute shot, he gets hurt and then tries to turn and hit you. You just keep doing that until he is dead. But if you miss a single melee, the hunter will follow through with his attack and slam you, along with what was left of your dignity, into the ground. When you use a BR, the hunter won't do a thing. You hit him and he kind of leans forward and then you can hit him again. He will never attack you. I know for a fact that this works on the storm, not sure about other levels though. As a note, I suggest not trying to melee the hunter as fast as you can. Throw one melee attack every second or two. Space them out. If you don't the hunter won't react to the second melee and will kill you.

Yeah, we should start MLF; Major League Firefight just to set some High Scores. Think about it, there's enough Mythic Conquerors now to form several teams and possibly have small competitions.

As for Vincent's musing, I have an idea about that:

Do you remember a while back when Bungie released a small update for the game? It could have been TU2, I can't remember, but they mentioned some "under the hood changes that most players probably won't notice" What if these changes were things such as Campaign dialogue which triggered at certain times such as the markings on the wall of Valhalla?

Also, Tsavo Highway CLASO is down, The Storm and Floodgate will fall today. And while I'm on this subject; 2 Rocket Launchers, 1 Plasma Pistol & 2 Missile Pods are easily enough to flatten everything inside the warehouse with surplus ammo remaining so long as you make your grenades count. We'd have been done if the marines in the Scarab lakebed hadn't just frozen up behind a pillar leaving 4 Ghosts and an AA Wraith still alive.

You're at least several months late. I brought up the "Spiker Loop" a long time ago. The Spiker Loop is superior...that and it's a waste of BR ammo.

1) What is the Spiker Loop?

2) Using the BR to melee a Hunter is a waste of time as the Brute Shot will stun them just as well. Hit the flesh, not the armor.

3 or 4 shots of the Spiker then a punch. Rinse and repeat. I think.

There is like unlimited BR ammo on The Storm at that end part. There is a crate of BR's by the Mounted Machine Gun.

Yes but you're screwed if you have no ammo for the Chieftain and his pack before that area.

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,

Again, the BR ammo is by the Turret. The Hammer Chieftain is right before that area, what if you run out of ammo while trying to take out that group? You can't really go past them for ammo...

There's also a BR crate next to the other turret, back inside the Warehouse. You go back for the ammo, should you need it.

This ^^^

At the same time, though, it's probably better to use Rockets or the Spiker method when dealing with those particular two.

I'm assuming we're talking about co-op mode here since the typical option is just to let the Arbiter deal with them.

You know, I've been meaning to post here for so long, so now I'm going to say what I've wanted to say for a long time.

You guys deserve a medal. A big one. With lots of ribbons. Good job, all of you.


I'm also expecting to see some more of this kind of stuff from you guys when ODST comes out. *nudge, nudge*

You should never have to worry about running out of BR ammo in that area until after you exit the blast doors from which the Hunters came from and get close enough to the Anti-Air Gun. You can always go back for more ammo until that door shuts.

Yeah, and the door doesn't shut until you reach the area just after Truth's hologram.

That's already known to me. However, I'd rather go with a Spiker. I'm rather uncertain as to how much damage a BR does per burst, but if you have to reload at any point, you're screwed. I know for a fact you will not spend more than half a clip of the Spiker per Hunter.

That and Spikers are ridiculously common. If you're playing Quad-Mythic, chances are that everyone will be using those crates for ammo. In any case, using a Spiker won't make you have to go back for more ammo in the first place.

I never said anything about shooting the hunters! You melee them with the BR. I already know about the spiker and the brute shot melee, but if you use the BR melee, the hunter will not even be able to attack you.
