I'm really glad that the existing conquerers are being given a chance for recon. You guys are awesome.
This challange will revamp my mythic bug. I haven't played any in a while (getting frustrated at tsavo), and I was planning to give it a go over the summer again anyway. Expect to see me in the first half of the challange at least.

Cool, I love campaign and I always look for a new excuse to play it.

So I know it say`s solo but does that mean that you can`t play with 3 friends all on differant consoles over xbox live and each submit your film?

Calm down buddy

Hello Tyrant, I need just one clarification on this,

You have said that you cannot die, which is obvious since the Iron skull makes you restart completely. Now I was wondering, let's say I do die halfway through and it restarts, do I keep going without exiting the game to the lobby? Or do I exit to the lobby and restart from the beginning. Either way I am starting at the beginning but I'm wondering if I must completely exit out in order for the Film not to be extremely long (if I did die later in the mission).

So basically, should we quit out so the Film we use is just one run? Or do we stay in and have deaths in the film even if we make it through to the end after a death?

Thank you

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,
The Tyrant

I like intelligent questions. THIS is one of them.

The answer is, it's up to you. It will show up the same way in your game stats, but if you want to show off your uber cool films to your friends, odds are they aren't going to want to watch you die 11 times in a row before they get to the good stuff, if you know what I mean ;-)

So, could I just beat all nine levels tonight on legendary with all skulls on and not die and put 9 videos in my file share and I get a safe seat and the other 9 chances to be raffled? How does the raffleing work do we tag our videos? Am I supposed to wait week by week to finish one campaign level? Please dumb the contest down for me :]

  • 05.22.2009 3:59 PM PDT

if i am a mythic conqueror before the 14th of june, would i be able to upload each video into my file share and enter the raffle that way, or would i have to complete each mission in the set weekly time frame to apply for all 10 prize draws?

Good Luck Every One Participating!

EDIT: Im With Zane On This One haha, Confused, i only know we have to do it on mythic difficluty and i know what that is lol.

In theory yes. As long as you become a Conqueror between now and the 14th, you have a Safe Seat for the 10th Raffle.

To everyone else, this is ONLY for the 10th Raffle. If you want to enter the other nine challenges, you will have to beat the mission on the set dates which will be revealed in the near future.

To the person asking about the skulls, read the Mythic Difficulty thread's original post. It's in the Halo 3 forum and will clear up any questions you have about the setting.

Thankyou for clearing things up Tyrant. Im So Glad i just graduated, now i have time to work hard, play hard, and hopefully get my hands on a shiny set of Recon.

Thankyou again Tyrant. I Would Be Lost With Out You Clearing That Up For Me!

Oh so I complete all 9 levels on legendary with all skulls on and scoring on and put them all in my file share without deaths and then notify you to get a safe seat correct? And for the other 9 weekly contests I have to wait for those to start right, those are seperate?

Correct.

  • 05.22.2009 5:21 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

I am going to try my best at Flood gate, I'm not sure if I can complete any other levels.

  • 05.22.2009 5:35 PM PDT

I'm only a silver member without bungie pro so I can't use file share. So can I even enter this? I already have odst reserved so I will get recon in time.

Im probly the most unlucky person ever. I did a full mythic run a long time ago before I got online and I dont have the videos of it. :(

Hmm, this makes me regret for not completing Mythic difficulty earlier.

Halo 3: ReV Eskimo

eventually ill be back on Reach and CEA. i enjoy gaming for fun, im a great player and i enjoy smoking while i play. so any chill players feel free to add me. I in NO way support halocharts; old username.

well ive only got sierra 117 left and The Ark. i guess i better get to it before its too late. real quick, if a person has already completed a mythic level can they do it AGAIN on/after the date of the announcement for that level to be eligible for each of the 9 raffles?

Anyone who hasn't been banned or blocked is elligible to enter the other nine challenges. Even if you're a Conqueror you can enter the other nine challenges, but like everyone else, the submissions follow the same guidelines for you as they do with the rest of the community.

Q. What is Mythic??
A. Solo Legendary All Skulls On with zero deaths and zero saves.


Man, awesome idea for a Recon contest but I foresee it being incompatible with my Video Game Temper, which, I might add, has lain dormant, Ark of the Covenant-like, since I hyper-extended my thumb punching my futon in a Virtua Fighter 2 induced maelstrom of rage. Perhaps if winning Recon also granted my controller the ability to dispense handies, I might give it a go, but as it is, I fear dying for the umpteenth time via Jackal Sniper will cause anyone in my immediate vicinity to shriek as their face melts off. Good luck to everyone attempting it.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

I'm assuming the answer to this is probably going to be no but, I'll ask anyway:

I'm going to be xbox-less for probably the first 3 challenges. Chances lost there. If I completed the requirements for these challenges after this, as well as the other 6 levels as they come, would I still be elligable for the 10th bonus round?

I've been meaning to complete a few more levels on Mythic for a while, only done Halo and Floodgate atm, so this is a good excuse. But given the difficulty, I had always assumed I would do Legendary no-shot before hand. Looks like this competition might switch things up :)

Gonna have to look up Pahis' runs in the meantime :D
