So. What kind of challenge can I do on Mythic now? Walking Tsavo Highway was pretty fun, reducing my time on Cortana was too.

I wanted to try finishing Halo in a Chopper, but I found out that Choppers are only available in co-op...

Have you completed Tsavo Highway without skipping the area right after the broken path? The part before the Wraith where tons of Brutes get dropped off.

I fight off enough enemies so that I can get through without being pursued (shoot at by a Fuel Rod Gun or by Carbines). I tried fighting it all out, but the largest problem is that once the Wraith decides to jump in the fight, I'm unable to really fight back. Going to the area where the Marines were trapped leaves you pinned. Fighting in the random junk in the area allows the Jump pack Brutes ample time to finish you off. And staying on the bridge leaves you in a position to be shot at by the Wraith.

If I could finish off the entire first wave quickly and before the second wave could arrive, I could see it as being possible. It's just a question of how am I going to kill that entire group quickly.

Edit: Oh wait, I see! You're asking if I've fought that area out at all. No, not really. If I get a Chopper I can position it in a place to take out the enemies from long range. It just takes a while.

I thought you meant going on foot and also fighting that area out completely.

Hmm, I think that's what I meant. On foot, fighting the area out, and destroy the Wraith that joins you after all the Phantom drops.

=)

I've tried and one thing that worked really great was to give all the Marines Fuel Rod guns. You can get one in the area after the two Sniper Jackals on the ground, at the part with the Warthog getting splattered by a Chopper and from the Brute right after the broken path.

Just don't collect ammo, give 3 different ones to 3 marines. The Phantom explodes before it gets a chance to drop off any Brutes.

The last Phantom that was coming got so much fired on that it crashed right on the wall. xD Then it got stuck so it couldn't move so I took a Fuel Rod from a Marine, went up close and took it out safely....and then I got blasted by the Wraith.

  • 09.17.2009 11:23 AM PDT

I saved one Marine for the Brute after the Broken Path segment began. I also had two Marines joining me with Fuel Rod Guns. Unfortunately, a Carbine shot meant for me was intercepted by one of the Marines. He died from the headshot, so I gave the other Marine the Fuel Rod Gun. They decimated everything with their combined fire, but then they decided to advance...and once they got too close to the Grunts, it didn't work out so well. They both died and when I tried to check if any Marines were still alive in the one area, no such luck. I got pinned with no shields.

Hi

Chris and I finally completed the Covenant. Hopefully we will complete Cortana and Halo before ODST... we have about 5 hours or less on Saturday to do so.

And if we beat those 2, I will have the conz, you will have earned it twice, and we will be #3. Woot!

I will only be able to wear my recon with pride for a couple days, but I don't care, I will rest well knowing that I finally had the chance to earned it. Thanks Play Doh for all your help. You made this possible. Also, I could walk away with the title of being the final person to earn Recon from bungie. And that is a title worth having!!

I also was doing some speed runs today and got a time of 4:08 on Floodgate SLASO. I am still trying to shake off some time. I messed up royally on a few parts and know that i can fix it.

I also was able to speed run The Storm on legendary (no skulls) and got a time of 11:09. I would have gotten about 9:50-10:10, but I shot two rockets at the final anti-air gun, but apparently you have to hit the white part exactly or it wont blow up. Well I was out of rockets, so I ran back up the hill (I was using Dark's new found method), and started BRing it. Well, I ran out of ammo for that. I looked around and found a crate with a plasma pistol in it and shot it at the gun. It finally blew up and I ran down the hill and triggered the cutscene. Took much much much longer than it should have. I have to ask though, is that the world record time for the level on legendary? I remember the time being along the lines of 12 minutes long. Do I have the record now? (I am talking about legendary, I know Pahat has the mythic time, but I was wondering if I have the legendary time)

Yeah well me and coughing are the only two that hold the title, "should have gotten Recon but because Tyrant doesn't proofread or correct his mistakes we don't have Recon."

Or the title, "We were promised Recon, but never got it."

How about, "The two that actually earned the armour but never got it."

Oh maybe, "Tyrant's mistake."

Tell me about it.

Sure I felt bad for you guys at the moment and understood why you were upset but you should get over it. It happens and Tyrant made a mistake, he's a human, forgive him and move on. You will have Recon in the end anyway and you have still achieved the same thing as the people here that got Recon.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

I agree with Gazas, it's not the Recon that matters and we all make mistakes. It's smply something to show, but the real badges of honour are the game stats and any Halocharts medals picked up along the way.
Besides, once ODST drops we'll all be too busy playing Firefight and being Johnson to care about who does or does not have Recon.

Speaking of Johnson, I'm still smiling every time I watch me and Dark's Sierra video.

While Johnson was hiding with us from the Phantoms, a clone Johnson was distracting them by getting stuck a million times without dying. Johnson's tough. lol.

While we're at it, If anyone has our Covenant run...watch the beginning. While we're skipping the first area, the last ODST alive, with a Shotgun, somehow got the Brute killed...and 4 Grunts went kamikaze and chased us, we didn't notice them since they were so far away from us.

They exploded mid-way, but imagine if they had gone all the way to us. xD

At least you could have laughed about that death when watching the film back in theatre. That would be the best way to go though, a domino effect caused by an ODST killing a Brute ending in Grunts killing Chief and Arby.

I'd save that for sure. Imagine if they would run around in circles by the Hornets and kill us on our way back in a Mongoose.

Oh yeah, definitely. After Truth's death, we were making our way back to the exit when all the enemies started rushing. We were able to kill them and all looked clear. Well, Play Doh started moving forward and right as he was about to go through the first door, a human form with a shotgun shot at him. He was able to kill it, but it was pretty intense. So close!

And in regards to the whole Recon thing. It is like the olympics. Say that you run the relay (Where you pass off the baton to your teammate) and your team wins first place. It is like going up to that podium and everyone else getting a medal except you because they forgot to make enough. Yeah, all it is is a medal, the true accomplishment is that you won and that you will go down in history as winning, but it still would have been nice to get it. Especially if it was promised to you. And then it is like the head of the olympics saying that he would have one given to you in a couple of days and then never doing a thing.

I don't care about the stupid armour. What I care about is that Tyrant has not done one thing about it.

He ignored several posts on this forum about it. He ignored two PMs. It's not like I bothered him about it everyday. I gave it three weeks! Bitter? Yeah, about the way the problem was handled. Even if he had said, "Sorry man, I messed up and you aren't going to be getting the armour," I would have been fine. Of course, there has been no such thing.

I still watch the awesomeness from me and Dark, I remember when the last Fuel Rod Grunt, also the last enemy alive before Truth, almost killed Dark, the shot was like a millimeter from him, then me or him killed him. Dark said he pissed himself xD

Then on the way back, for SOME reason, all Elites rushed us when we stayed waaay back at the door. We killed them all and last Elite that came in the door....had a Sword. I Plasma Pistoled it but neither me or Dark could kill it. I had to melee it. I still can't believe I killed a Sword Elite with my bare hands, lol. I could feel the pee almost coming out. And the crap for that matter.

Lmfao, intense. i still remember on the Ark my final run, thinkign all the brutes were dead, and stepping out, when no pelican arrived. I heard a jetpack, and a brute flew out with a sticky primed. Dropped a PP bolt on him, then quickly finished him. = )

With all due respect, quit your complaining. I haven't seen Tyrant a lot lately, and I can only guess that the key reason is that he is very busy right now. You're not being ignored, he hasn't been around or responding to anyone.

So it was me. =)

One thing I remember from that fight is when I threw a Fire Bomb and hit a Brute. Even though he tried to dodge it.

Very, very old btw.

I even attempted this in my SMRC entry, but I'd passed one too many spawn lines for it to work.


I know its old. But nobody seemed to even mention it on a Mythic Run. So all I did was include in a Mythic run. Thats what I do.

I thought I mentioned it in my mini-write-up of the level at the time? meh, one post is easy to get lost in a thread this big I guess.



My copy of ODST has been posted. Hope it comes soon!

Okay, I think that everyone needs to lighten up about the Recon thing before that becomes what this entire thread is about. Midnigt and Coughing were supposed to get recon, they didn't, so they are not happy about it. It is understandable and I think that you would be a little upset if it had happened to you, but I think that we need to drop the subject. I mean, it isn't like they are getting on here and cursing out tyrant and demanding recon, they are just upset that nothing has been done about it. End of story.
