I conquered Halo 3 on Mythic over two years ago last week. Gone so quick.

I conquered H3 during the Summer Mythic Recon challenge last year. Good old times.

Good times indeed. Mythic was fun as hell in this game. I wish it was as fun in Halo Reach. It's more scary than fun in that game. It's like playing nothing but Coastal Highway and Cortana. :P

I started my Quest for Mythic a few days ago. Currently have Floodgate and Nightfall done, going to do Contingency and Tsavo in the next few days. Wondering about a few things:
-Does kamikaze just mean speedrun? Does it qualify as kamikaze if I run past the enemies and don't kill them? i.e., does this count as kamikaze? (Floodgate in 4:43, hardly any kills)
-What is the purpose of the scoring requirement? Does it have to do with proving that the person didn't abuse the save/quit glitch to get around Iron? Isn't a video good enough to prove that?

Thanks.

Member of team Master Theory.

17th Mythic Conqueror of Halo 3.
5th Mythic Conqueror of ODST.
If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

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

Kamikaze is basically anything that you do which has a large risk vs reward scenario; for example att he start of The Ark you can kamikaze past everything by just running and throwing a few grenades to keep enemies out of your way. It doesn't work often but it works well enough to be more efficient (for both time and ammo) than fighting everything.

Basically it's a "faster but riskier" thing. It also doesn't involve killing all the time but those should be considered skips.

What do you mean? You've completed the campaign on Mythic? If so post your stats and saved films if you want to be on the list.

ME2 was known for stupidity and being retarded

Wouldn't Iron be a somewhat redundant skull because you have to restart if you die in as said in the rules anyway?

Pretty sure it helps having the Iron Skull turned on for validation that someone completed a mission with all the skulls on.

The effects of some skulls aren't immediately evident when watching the film. In H3, turning on scoring ensures that there is a post-game report that says which skulls were on. It also provides extra data to the online stats that otherwise would not be counted, such as points over time and such which can be used to quickly get a feel for whether or not there is any worth in downloading the film (i.e. if its clear that there is no way in hell they did it as fast as the stats would indicate).

There is a work-around for the effects of the Iron skull that involves saving and quitting and then resuming to get around the usual effects of the Iron skull. That rule is basically just an enforcement of what the Iron skull is supposed to do: restart you at the begining of the mission.

Plus, even if you let Iron do its job and reset you, your film could become hideously long with all the failed attempts. Its nicer to just manually restart from the campaign lobby.

It's an entirely different experience all together. You can newb combo the Brutes and one-shot the Grunts. It's great! But it can definitely be trying in certain areas.

I will say this, though. I enjoyed Halo 3's Mythic experience more than Reach's.

  • 11.21.2010 12:01 AM PDT

So there both hard in their own ways. I might just do a bit of both then. Haha I managed floodgate and uplift reserve.

Very good!

"Nightfall" would be the reach equivalent of those missions.

Yeah, Floodgate, Uplift and Nightfall, the three hardest missions on Mythic.
