Man how this game looks easy on Mythic after having played Reach on Mythic.

I bet. Reach on Legendary was a lot harder than Halo 3 Legendary. Can you do Mythic on Halo 2?

I still think Halo 3 Mythic is harder. Shields deplete so much quicker on Halo 3. And they're harder to get back, remember the time it takes after hitting an enemy untill your shields are full again? It takes ages!

I agree with that, only because Elites were tougher than Brutes.
The Ark > Long Night of Solace in terms of difficulty.
Halo 2 on Mythic, in theory yes. But I'd doubt anyone would even want to attempt it! :D

Can you do Mythic on Halo 2?


I have no desire to try for a few reasons...

1) You'd have to load up 14 different profiles to get all the skulls active.
2) There isn't a "start the mission over" skull like there has been in the past three games. Anyone can do it. It's just that it takes time and would be extremely frustrating.
3) I didn't enjoy the campaign, and therefore, have no desire to put myself through that kind of frustration.
4) Even if I had the desire, there would be no way to prove my accomplishment.
5) I did Halo 3 on Mythic because Legendary was far too easy compared to the two previous games. Mythic was fun in Halo 3. Legendary in Halo 2 was NOT fun. I can't imagine what it would be like on an actual Mythic mode.

Is it just for me, or do the videos work for anyone right now? cant watch either halo3 mythic guide 1.0, 2.0 or any kamikazes.. Reach guide works thought.
E.Odst guide doesnt work either. This all happened to me after HBO went down yesterday at some point (euro time)

That doesn't matter when one Elite in Reach scares you more than 10 Brutes in Halo 3.

I have no idea what you're trying to point out, that Elites are easier even though they're more annoying?

So true; I'd rather go a few rounds with the Brute pack (Chieftain included) at the end of The Ark than fight more than 1 Elite at a time in Reach.

Not true; I wanted more intelligent enemies. Yes we got that, but we also got enemies with ridiculously unfair advantages (Grunts with masks, Elites with uber shields etc.)

I disagree, yes they are more difficult. But it's not unfair. We just have to adapt our gameplay. For example, the tactic of overcharging a Plasma Pistol went to Single Fire. Which takes an Elites shields down in pretty much similar time if you include time to charge the Plasma Pistol.
And intelligence, the Elites are unpredictable in their movements. Doesn't mean they're intelligent. They just like to jump around more than Brutes.

I was browsing some old BWU's over at HBO and stumbled upon this BWU from 5/02/08. At that time only 2 people had completed SLASO in Halo 3. Who where these players? Of course I assume one was Tyrant, but the other?

One was Pahat Pojat, we never found out the second person. However, it is thought that the second player had used the save and quit trick to get around the Iron skull. Thus us making the difference between SLASO and Mythic.

Meh, sure they got advantages but they're definitely not unfair. They do however make the game more difficult. Elites with uber shields might be close but their shields have weaknesses and you can counter them at least. If it took 10 Plasma Pistol overcharges to bring them down, yeah that might have been unfair. Unlimited grenades flying towards you wherever you are in World at War, that crap was unfair.

I don't even think there's a good way to know what's unfair and what's fair, someone can think that a game is unfair because you fight against more enemies than you have teammates.

I think it has to do with how much space there is.

Take Cairo's Station hanger battle as an example. Anymore reduction in space would make it unpleasantly difficult on Legendary let alone Mythic. This would be definitely unfair.

There's also lack of cover. For example, Cairo Station's last battle. You're mostly limited to medium range combat, in the elevator or behind those boxes right in front of you. Going any closer will cause Elites to approach your position.

A game with no cover and uber Elites hijacking elevators with no marine support would be scary as hell.
