Hi

Posted by: ChrisM TA
Okay, I need help. Me and Lt Play Doh have hit a brick wall. We are 3 levels away and now he can't get on any more. GRRRRRR!!. Is someone willing to help me start from the beginning? I will love you for it. Please, me and Play Doh were so close and I don't want to give up so close to the end. I WONT give up so close to the end. Will someone do CLASO with me?
I see you've recruited new talent. I wish you the best of luck : ) I only regret that we didn't have enough time to finish.

I wish. School has finally kicked in for me, so I can get on LIVE only on the weekends, which so happens to be when Chris has to work. : (

Worst way to die on Cortana that is influenced by chance.

You know those superficial explosions after you blow up the reactors? The ones that only knock you around. One of those bumped me over the edge and killed me.

One of those blew up and scared me. I thought it was a grenade. What did I do? I jumped away, of course. I jumped away... right off the map.

Lol, I actually did not have too much trouble on Cortana. The only truly horrible event that happened on the map was in the final dash to the pelican. I was literally 200 feet from the end of the level and A SINGLE FLOOD SPORE jumped up and landed on me. Of course, it attached itself to me and sucked the life out of me. I was so close!!

I'm also in central US time, so if it doesn't work out with Panda let me know. Oh and you can shoot me a FR either way. I wouldn't deny a fellow Conqueror.


Alright, you got it. I may alternate between you and Panda, for practice. I will do CLASO with whoever is on.

We almost got through Sierra 117 today, but when we got to the dam, I looked out and tried to hit the farthest Jackal sniper but missed. I jumped back when he looked at me and was safe. I waited about 15 seconds and peaked my head out again but he was STILL looking at me. He killed me instantly.

No black and white in the blue.

Ugh, I just died on The Ark in the first room after Arbiter joins up with you at the top of the tower. I was douching around trying to scrounge up more BR ammo, and I was too slow to assassinate the Brute (even though I was directly behind him when I smacked him), so all the Grunts woke up and I died trying to beast my way through (you'd think I would've learned that doesn't usually work for me by now). I even had a Bubble Shield I could've thrown down, but I didn't remember I had it until the instant a random plasma grenade blew me to smithereens. Typical Hubb Lebowski douchery. Whatever. It's late, I'm tired, and I'd rather be able to celebrate my final Mythic conquest without having to worry about waking my roommates up with my victorious war cries. I'll just do it tomorrow.

Lol, you can do it man. See I died at the Plasma Cannon Chieftain..... TWICE!! I am talking about the chieftain that is 10 minutes away from the end of the level. Yeah, that one. The first time, I cleared out all of the brutes (or so I thought) and went into the room and hid behind a pillar. Well, there was a brute to my left who started shooting me, and when I moved to avoid him, the plasma cannon chieftain started gunning me down. I threw down a regenerator, but it wasn't enough to save me.

The second time, I made sure to clear out all of the Brutes, but when I went to plasma punch the chieftain, I missed and he gunned me down. I am so glad to be done with that level now.

Happened to Dark in our Dual-Mythic run. We stood still in a safe place to discuss our plan when I saw an explosion...and he was gone.

Then I heard the "Woaah!" from Chief falling.

Woah!! I did a little poking around on Pahat Pojat's Halo charts page and according to the site, I have more mythic medals than him!!! I feel so awesome right now.

Yeah, they just introduced another CLASO medal (not for Mythic CLASO) which is blue so I've got 5 of each. :-P
Unfortunately the update deleted some of my older Mythic medals so I've had to resubmit my games. :-(


And regarding my ability to be online for Quad Mythic to the rest of the team; Friday and Saturday nights seem to be the best times for me now that I've started college.

  • 09.09.2009 5:24 AM PDT

I just today saw the fastest Floodgate run that people were mentioning a while ago. That stunt with the box at the end was actually very impressive.

Do you think that person figured it out themselves or is it perhaps common knowledge to speedrunners? I'd have to thing the former, since if it was common knowledge, Pahat would have used it too.

I agree with your second thought Vince. The question is; why hasn't Pahat tried to use it to beat the current record yet? Otherwise it was pretty awesome, although it looked a bit random too. :-\

  • 09.09.2009 8:24 AM PDT

He might be working on reducing his time in other missions, or he is already working on it but is just a little bit too slow.

I've been taking more of a chance with speedrunning lately, actually. I'm mainly focusing on Cortana, trying to find shortcuts, but it seems the best ones have already been found by Pahat. At least I knew I was on the right track when I saw him go for a Gravity Hammer.

I dislike speenruns, I don't mind skipping parts but I suck at doing it fast.

lol. Once you said, "Most methods are too slow, I'm all about speed." And then you and Dark did CLASO in 24 hours... I'd wouldn't say you suck at speedruns.

  • 09.09.2009 8:57 AM PDT

Not so much going for speed, but doing things a bit faster than I usually would.

I.E. I died around 17 minutes in to Cortana and I was already passed Rally Point Bravo; I estimate that the run in my file share had me get there around 25 minutes.

Since that, I have actually started getting even faster.

That's good, and it reminds me of my SMRC entry for Cortana, I skipped certain sections whereas I didn't skip anything originally, yet I still ened up with a slower time by 2 minutes. :-P
I must have spent longer than i thought clearing the Reactor room or some such area.
I would like to ask though, would you say it's easier to speed up and run or to stay anf fight in some of these scenarios you're experimenting with?

Haha, MATCLAN, I mean that don't want to spend 30 minutes doing the first and second part of The Ark when I can just kamikaze.

However, I don't like taking a -Blam!-in' Mongoose right after, skip the Prowlers and drive right through everything and take the most WTFiest shortcuts.

Yeah. I still don't know how Pahat gets away with that sort of stuff... I mean if I tried it I can guarantee that every enemy in the place would spam me with grenades etc before I even made it to the 'goose. On the other hand your Prowler method speeds things up considerably at that point and I use it all the time now. :-) I think it only went wrong once when all 4 Brutes rushed me instead of the marines.

Haha yeah that's rare, you gotta let the Marines draw them to themselves. Then you can just pick them off.

I love that method.

When I was trying my Floodgate speed run, I had a great idea. There is a glitch that when you look down, jump, throw a deployable cover and land inside it perfectly, there is a chance that it will LAUNCH you extremely far. Now there is a deployable cover towards the end of the level, but trying to make that glitch work is really hard. I wouldn't exactly call it a reliable glitch.

Well it's Floodgate, not the end of The Ark. So it's not like you screw up if you die.

In almost every part up to the reactor you can skip the fights, really...it's just a matter of what parts you want to use the Camouflage for considering if you don't want to spend time going back for another one. I actually tried rushing through Hell's Hallway and not using the Camo at the end part. I managed to slip by...once or twice. But usually I just get pummeled before I can get too far away.

Did you know Stalkers have an aerial melee? I found that out the hard way when I moved to a certain part of the area after that. It forces all the Stalkers to bunch up on this bridge section and everytime I would try to jump to get over, one would leap and hit me.

Stalkers are scary when they...work. They seem broken as they just run around but when they attack you, you get scared -blam!-less.
