Halo 3 online championship.

Tyrant,

Today, I completed Floodgate by myself on "mythic difficulty" with all 13 skulls activated, and with (FFA) free for all scoring enabled..

I firstly sent you a message regarding the video I uploaded onto my file share.
The first message I sent, had the hyperlink attached to it.
I resent the message, to make sure that the message was sent correctly..
The second message also has the same hyperlink attached to it..

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.


Please. It would be nice because I am near the 100 custom content limit and I need to know if I need to save these so I can make room. D;

May I raise a question about the next challenge, Mythic Halo? Can we utilise pro short-cuts, or could that count against us? In particular, trying not to make it too obvious what I mean just in case, what if we cross paths with the sergeant along the way? Please accept my apologies if it's too early for a question about the second challange.

I guess we could, lol, that level is going to be hard as anything except for cortana, that's the hardest...oh, and covenant, they're all hard:(:(

  • 06.16.2009 2:55 AM PDT

Mythic Cortana is difficult. I've tried other missions of the Halo 3 campaign on Mythic difficulty, and with the right strategy they're all reasonably do-able compared with Cortana. Even just having the Iron skull enabled on Legendary, most people's experience of Cortana would be more pain than pleasure. It's not fun. I'd rather do a week of hard-labour than spend a week enduring Mythic Cortana. I predict that more players will give up on Mythic Cortana than on any other mission.

Really I don't find it that hard.

  • 06.16.2009 8:44 AM PDT

The general consensus is that Cortana is the most difficult mission in the Halo 3 campaign. What is your strategy for making it easy?

Edit: I'll try again using Tyrant's guide.

I used Tyrants guide. Its quite easy. All you do is run like a mad man and only slow down is difficult parts. Since you pretty much have an unlimited amount of swords its not to hard. It took about 5 try's until I got it but Its fairly simple.

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

It would be nice Tyrant if you could send out confirmation PM's to the successful people who linked and did everything right. But I know you can't, because of all the submissions.

Anyways, I can't wait to see if I or someone else wins.

Good luck fellow members!

:)

Seriously? It means that it doesn't effect your entry one way or another. I won't delete it simply because "Mythic Difficulty" wasn't in the description. I care mainly about the game stats and the film. If you have those, then you're in good shape. No need to worry.

I don't believe you. Someone who has completed The Ark on Mythic would claim Cortana to be a cakewalk in comparison. There are several missions that are harder, in fact.

I'll check your game history when stats are back up, but I'll give you a fair warning. The group as a whole takes false Mythic claims ivery seriously. At the very least, it will get you banned from the group perminantly. At it's worst? The SMRC in its entirety. Just a fair heads up.

That being said, Cortana is a very simply mission if you know how to play it correcty. I have both the 1.0 and 2.0 versions in my file share if you care to view them. Considering that it's very easy to regenerate your shields, and there are plenty of anti-Flood weapons laying around, you should find it relatively simple in comparison to some of the more hard core Covenant missions.

If you have Bungie Pro, then yes. After all, it's only 9 slots out of 24. Otherwise, you will need to provide me with proof. I will keep record of everyone who successfully completes each challenge, but I will need proof as assurance.

Hey, just a couple of quick questions. Would there be a problem if the words Mythic Difficulty are not in the description? Also my entry film included my previous attempts rather than just the final run. Should I edit it and re-submit my entry?

Thanks


I won't count it against you.


Cool. Cheers.

Good luck to everyone.

So far in this challenge I've completed Floodgate on Mythic. I completed it online following all of the rules to the letter, online and on the record.

[Edited on 06.17.2009 7:42 AM PDT]

  • 06.16.2009 2:07 PM PDT

I just completed Floodgate with the appropriate settings (Legendary difficulty and all skulls on) however when I was done and my score was tabulated it said I only had 9 skulls on - not sure what that meant as I double checked and I still had all 13 skulls activated.

Is it that the Mythic skulls do not register or something?

(Sorry if this has been answered before - I looked but couldn't find an answer).

let me see if im correct. 1. do the mission in the correct time frame on mythic difficulty. 2. upload it to your fileshare. 3. hyperlink the entry. but my question is what do we do after that?

  • 06.16.2009 2:31 PM PDT

How many entries are we allowed to send? I mean like if you want to improve your time and such? are you allowed to send in a new entry? or is it one entry per person?

Silver Skulls don't give points bonus so it says 9 for the 9 gold stars.

Don't worry about the score table at the end of the mission. If you go to your profile on Bungie.net and follow the link to your Service Record and then your Game History and Campaign you'll find full details of the game there including a box showing which skulls were on. That's why making sure the mission is recorded in your Game History is an important part of the rules.

Xbox LIVE is down for maintainance at present so I can't check for you, but look back in about 12 hours and your game history should be there.

Hey, when Tyrant says the winner will be announced at the "end of the week", what does he mean by that? Like Saturday or Thursday or what?

Thank you kind sir. I will keep them saved on my theater mode and if the need arises I will upload them one by one as my Bungie Pro will expire before this is over. ;D
