Subject: Summer Mythic Recon Challenge

There's not a whole lot you really need to know about me, but if you're passing by and you need something to do, check out my Fileshare on Halo 3.

Download the Custom Map, "Madhouse," and the gametype you need to play it with, "PuzzlePro." It's a puzzle map, and although I don't give out hints anymore, I have no doubt that you'll figure it out eventually... :)

If we are going to try and go through all of the missions for the tenth raffle do we have to keep all 9 films in our file share.


I don't necessarily have the same question, but I am curious about the full completion of the Mythic Campaign.

If I complete every Campaign level on Mythic difficulty, according exactly to the guidelines which you've presented us with, is there like some system that knows I've accomplished this, or do I have to inform a Bungie employee? I honestly care less about winning Recon armor than I do being formally recognized as completing the Mythic Campaign, should I so happen to accomplish the feat.

And another question... assuming you're the one watching the video...

Would I be disqualified if the video was ridiculously long, and took an unnecessarily long amount of time to view? Like what if my Spartan just sat at the start for hours until I actually decided to play? Would it upset you enough that you would void my entry?

Of course I'm not actually planning on doing such a horrible thing, just throwing the scenario out there to see your response. :)

Does receiving an auto reply mean your valid?... Because I forgot to add "Mythic Difficulty" in the description and instead added a tag? and is this link ok?

I'm just checking here to see if I was blocked by tyrant through private messages. I PMed you asking a dumb question, then read the rules saying you would block anyone sending you questions. Then I sent you my entry, after trying to do it for 7 hours. Then I sent you another question about if it HAD to be FFA scoring. I did it with team scoring cause it wasn't specified in the main rules section and the blog about the reminder didn't go up (or atleast I didn't see it) until I was finished.

I've completed it 4 times now since I kept messing up (once I forgot to turn scoring on, another I forgot to hit B at the end so I sat there for a while waiting) and finally got it with team scoring on. Which is the entry I sent you.

All I'm asking is if I'm still eligible, or if I'm blocked and can't participate. If I am eligible, do I need to do another run with FFA scoring on?

To cagman's questions, I think that he wants the link to be the full url like: [url]insert link here[/url]. And, you probably do need Mythic Difficulty in the description, but I'm not positive if that's ABSOLUTELY necessary.

Hey I am unsure if I had FFA scoring on, but I had scoring ON. Does it matter?

The rules say FFA scoring must be on.

this should be fun

This is how you do a hyperlink, right?

Is anybody interested to see how other players did this?

1. I completed Floodgate today on Legendary difficulty with all thirteen skulls enabled and scoring set to free-for-all.

2. I uploaded my video to slot 22 of my File Share.

3. I checked to ensure that this game is recorded in my Game History.

4. I sent Tyrant122312 a private message on Bungie.net with link to the video using this format:

[url]http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3f ileid=81986420[/url].

5. I can now relax and wait until the end of the week when Recon will appear in my armour settings in matchmaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (If I win this week's raffle.) I will be wishing and praying so hard; I won't be able to concentrate at work until I realise my destiny.

I'm profoundly grateful for this opportunity to obtain Recon armour before the release of Halo 3: ODST. I have been seeking it for so long now. I never gave up hope.

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

Crap, I just finished this like an hour or two ago, saved the film, put it in the file share, everything. But I just went to check my game stats on it (after submitting via PM, as the autoreply told me to check it) and it says stats might be turned off or something as they have no record of the game. Is there anything I can do about this? I know I was online for the whole thing (I was in a LIVE party with a friend of mine) and I even waited it out until The Ark started before saving, quitting, and saving the film.

It has both of the multiplayer games I played afterward in my game history, but it only has the first two attempts at Mythic (I started a new mission each time I died so the film would only contain the successful attempt) in my game history. Also, it says I have scoring turned off in those attempts, but I know I triple-checked scoring to make sure it was on and set to FFA.

is it a truly random selection of a winner or is it score based??

You need a slash in the end part: [url]place hyperlink here[/url] Ta-da!

When you post, there's actually some formatting information below the typing window.

  • 06.13.2009 1:31 PM PDT

I'd rather be lucky than good.

I have a question about the challenge:

It says you need to complete floodgate without dieng. I played through it and kept restarting every time I died, and then when i finally did make it all the way through with one life and went to watch the video it was over 2 hours long(it included all of my previous deaths..). Is that acceptable, or do i need to completely redo it?

  • 06.13.2009 1:59 PM PDT

Alright, let me try again =)

Add me for anythingz.

I sent him the video. The time is 12:34, this was all done on XBL. I have a linked Gamertag and everything, but the game is not showing up on my campaign games played. It shows a different game with a different time, and it shows that the scoring wasn't on, which I turned it on before the game...? What am I supposed to do? I messaged him about this as well hoping for a response on what to do, because I don't want to submit another one as it says not to in the rules. I really hope he responds, or if anyone in this thread can help me out on what to do.

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

Tyrant, we were told that by completing this that we would still recieve a medal even if we are not chosen to win the recon, do we have to submit our game to halocharts by ourself or is it already taken care of to get the medals you have for SLASO?


If you're in a hurry, you can, but I'll be submitting the contestant list over there once the contest ends. So either way is fine.

Everyone gets an auto-response whether it's an entry, or an email about kittens. If you get an auto-response, it simply means you haven't been blocked by me previously. I obviously don't have time to contact the hundreds of people who have submitted entries individually, so you'll just have to keep an eye on your inbox after each competition to see if you won. If you followed directions properly, you have no reason to think that I didn't receive your entry.
