Tyrant how come I did not get a halo carts medal, or did you guys not finish with what ever your doing?

  • 06.20.2009 6:31 AM PDT

I was wondering if there will be any type of confirmation once we completed any map on mythic level, I've uploaded it to my file share, send the link to tyrant, but still no confirmation, other than the auto-response, to ensure it has at least been seen or accepted.


Thanks, pleas reply as soon as possible, I will be starting the second Challenge today, I hope its as easy as the Floodgate mission.

+200 to watch each approx 25 or more minutes long; I don't think he has time for your response if you want your video in the raffle. Just keep checking on your file share to see if any downloads came onto it.

He is not going to respond because people ask him too. Just be patient. Don't worry. If you watch this video, you will have no problem on how to complete the level Halo on MYTHIC Difficulty.

If you need views from a player (on how I did it), download and watch. Halo MYTHIC LVL. Almost a replica of the video above.

SMG has a nice step-through. You should look at it from how he did it.

Steps I took to reach victory in the Halo Mythic mission. Proceed with caution!

Step1: Get a "BR" at the crash site, save it till you get to Sgt. Johnson
Step2: Get your rockets out, shoot the flood with the hammer, take the hammer then reach the spot where you can grenade jump up the side
Step3: Grenade jump up the side
Step4: Hammer jump up to the middle, then walk your way up
Step5: Find Sgt. Johnson then take his laser, make sure it has infinite ammo
Step6: Take cover and shoot everything with your laser
Step7: Go defeat the monitor
Step8: Activate check points and let the Arbiter kill everything in his path, help him if needed
Step9: Reach the warthog, drive cautiously and make it to victory

Thanks, Bloodkill you know what Im talking about!

  • 06.20.2009 9:49 AM PDT

Im Awsome.

Does anyone know who won the first raffle yet??
ok i just looked on my fileshare and it says i have no dl's on my floodgate mission. I did get the confimation auto-reply so whats goin on?

Yeah, that'll be fine. He just won't be eligible for the last raffle (You must have submitted a valid video for all 9 missions to get in it).

And he doesn't watch the videos. He just simply looks at the game histories that are linked to the videos.

Chances are that the results haven't been entirely tallied yet, so they haven't been able to do the raffle. Hopefully the wait will be shorter later on in the contest.

I got really annoyed doing that stupid driving part. I managed to get there 3 times; the first, I got flipped twice in a row by the sentinels and the floor fell out from me, and the second I accidentally fell in a hole. The third I made it =).

A little tip for you aspiring "Halo" completers: a good way to guarantee that you have full shields for the drive part (the sentinels don't usually kill you, but just in case), take out the sentinels in the forerunner tunnel (before the warthog) and then engage in a fist fight with those elites with the arbiter. It's risky, but I did this twice during my run and I had no problems; I also went from no shields to full shields for the warthog part.

Another good tip while doing the trick jumps if you find yourself getting killed while doing them is to wait for an unshielded flood to jump onto the tower, then melee him and run like hell to the grav-hammer jump spot. You can see this in action here

You said (Winners) mmmmmtoast I think it is only one winner for every mission or is there more than one?

  • 06.20.2009 11:29 AM PDT

Do not listen to his grenade jumping tactics. It will just help you get killed if you use the grenade bounce; use the hammer for both ledges to get to the top.

The hammer can make or break you it can fling you all kinds of different ways if your not careful so I used the grenade jump and completed the mission with no problem and as I said before it says STEPS I TOOK TO MY VICITORY ON HALO MYTHIC DIFFICAULTY (o_O)

If I renamed the Floodgate video would I be withdrawn from the last raffle?

It might...most likely yes I would think

Ok I used the hammer just fine and completed the mission, as long as you complete the mission I guess the grenades are fine but it is just a deathwish waiting to happen.

I see you point, but I was saying the steps I took you can very well use the hammer just as a grenade =)

  • 06.20.2009 2:00 PM PDT

Yeah, I only said you should probably avoid grenade bounces because you have the frusterating Blackeye skull to make everyhting more difficult.

  • 06.20.2009 2:06 PM PDT

Today I completed Halo solo on on Legendary with all skulls on. I've submitted my entry for the second Summer Mythic Recon Challange. In case anybody finds this useful, this is how I entered the competition.

1. I completed Halo solo on Legendary difficulty with all skulls on, and Free For All scoring enabled, having thoroughly read and followed everything in the rules and the FAQ precisely -- to the letter.

2. I verified that I had the film in my File Share with the phrase "Mythic Difficulty" in the description.

3. I verified that the mission is in my Game History with all of the correct information.

4. I sent a private message to Tyrant122312 with a link to the film in my FIle Share using the correct format: [url]the URL goes here[/url].

The methodology I used to make this a very easy mission was loosely based on various strategies, with special credit to Tyrant122312's robust version 2.0 strategy for this level. The strategy went wrong early on because my phone rang and I was having a conversation while on auto-pilot, so I improvised much of it. I used my own usual strategy for the Monitor.(aka 343 Guilty Spark), making use of the glass barrier. I also had some a few very close shaves. So feel free to watch my video, I think you'll like it.

I expect to have Recon within days of ODST being released, but it would mean a lot to me to obtain it early; it's been an ambition for so long now! I'd wear in with pride in matchmaking every day!

Enjoy! ;)

Im pretty sure everyone that posted would feel the same way, and they do. They just dont going around and post it, sorry but saying that is not going to make your chances better (o_O)

I mentioned Recon. You didn't. Perhaps I just feel more strongly about it than you do. I wouldn't read too much into it, though.

I really not sure dude but taking it off you fileshare and renaming is not good

  • 06.20.2009 2:51 PM PDT

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... :)

Just thought I'd bring this to everyone's attention in case they didn't read it. Bungie most likely isn't looking at everyone's video, since it would be illogical. The drawing is random, which means it would make more sense to choose a winner first, then watch the video as a means of insurance, like Tyrant said, than to simply go through everyone's video first.

Why it's taking them as long as it is, I'm unsure, but the database of entries is going through a lot hands, not to mention I'm sure everyone else at Bungie Studios has something better to be doing this weekend than picking someone out for Recon Armor.

I would say give it until Monday or Tuesday at the latest, much like a regular Weekend Contest. Same thing with the Halo Charts medal.
