To answer some questions, by the winners being announced the weekend im assuming the exact date depends on how many people enter.


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

Well im assuming/hoping there is more than one, but now im not sure if bungie made a typo since it seems unlikely that there will just be one.

Anyone get an automatic reply from Tyrant yet for the Halo mission, I put SLASO in my pm to him instead of mythic but I do not think that would make much of a difference.

As long as you did it the right way (hyperlink to a film with "mythic difficulty" in the description), I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I sent in entries for both floodgate and halo the same way, but only got an auto reply for floodgate. As long as you hyperlinked to your video and have valid game stats, you should be alright.

Yeah I figured I would be fine but i thought I might have got some type of response by now. Maybe he is busy. I do not even know if they selected the winner(s) for floodgate yet.

Do you need to put "Mythic Difficulty" in the PM or in the description of the video? I understood the message When you've completed your mission online successfully, upload it to your file share, make sure it's in your Game History, and send me (Tyrant122312) a Private Message over Bungie.net with a hyperlink to your film. How do you hyperlink? Use the following format: [url]insert link here[/url] If this isn't done correctly, your entry will be discarded. Don't worry about tagging it. Just included the words "Mythic Difficulty" somewhere in the description. like that, and looking back it was pretty ambiguous. In the second SMRC update it says this: Remember to PM your entry to me (Tyrant122312) and include a hyperlink directly to the Halo Mythic run in your file share. Instructions on how to hyperlink are included in the RULES. If you send me a message typing in your Xbox Live GT and ask me to go on an expedition to hunt down your Tag and sift through your file share for you to find all the info I need, I'll give a little chuckle and hit the delete key. Read the rules and do it right if you want a shot at that Recon. Ah, and no need to tag it. The hyperlink will suffice.Hopefully my video for floodgate wasn't DQ'ed. If it is, it's no big deal. I'm here for the challenge, not the recon.

Has anyone gotten their Halo Charts medals yet?

  • 06.20.2009 8:41 PM PDT

nope i still havent gotten my halo chart medal

  • 06.20.2009 8:58 PM PDT

Neither of my game records are showing up for Floodgate or Halo. When I was doing Halo, I got disconnected from Xbox live for about 30 seconds in the middle. I was connected when I started and finished though. Is that why they're not showing up?

I just checked your game history and I see both "Halo" and "Floodgate". When you go to your game history, make sure to click the campaign tab. However, your "Halo" attempt is invalid cause scoring was off so you will have to redo it.

Meh, Halo Reach time.

so just to be absolutely positive and not seeing tyrant answer very many peoples questions.... is it good to start Halo now?

A few of us here have already completed and submitted our entries so, yeah, go ahead and start it.

  • 06.20.2009 11:04 PM PDT

I was wondering if its the same to send Tyrant this link http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=ALP HA%200101 it goes to my FILE SHARE....

or this one http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameg uid=-8586868421125844220 it goes to the POST GAME CARNAGE REPORT

I'm not sure which one I should send after reading how people are doing it.

pleas reply as soon as possible, Thanks. In case you were wondering, the fist message I sent to Tyrant was with a link to the post game carnage report of the completed game of Floodgate and not to my file share.

  • 06.20.2009 11:44 PM PDT

So do you know if we haven't received our halocharts medal for floodgate does that mean that Tyrant idn't see our submission or he discarded it or something? I hope not I posted a link to the vid in my fileshare exactly like this:

http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3f ileid=82516272

Can't view right now. Half of the website is down. But what I would have done different if I was you, was I would have gave your hyperlink a name instead of:

http://www.bungie.net/Forums/createpost.aspx?postID=33988146& amp;act=reply

To..

I just done Halo on Mythic, while on-line. So I come on here to do the link and pm to Tyrant and I can not access my game history (or anyone else's) I hope that my game has registered.

Considering that the Floodgate mythic mission just ended couple of days ago, and Halo mythic mission started on Friday I would say give them some time, Im sure everyone is anxious and wanting to know the outcome just be patient and play some Halo 3 (o_O)

I did one of HaloCharts challenges and that was a month ago and I'm still waiting on my medal. Just give it some time.

Next week's mission is The Storm. We know that the missions are arranged in order of increasing difficulty level.

But IMHO Tsavo Highway is considerably easier than The Storm. I wish we could swap the order of the next two missions. I suppose that's unlikely to happen? ;)

Does anyone else find Tsavo Highway easier than The Storm? Perhaps it's just my strategy, which you'll be able to watch for yourselves when I do the challange. They're both difficult levels. But to the average player who (like me) hasn't mastered the strategies, and finds basic combat on Legendary a real challange, I'm wondering whether Tsavo will be a lot easer than Storm. Much of Tsavo can be rushed or skipped, and much of the killing can be done from a safe distance in vehicles. The Storm seems to require more skill, more strategy, more close combat, and perhaps even more luck (e.g. with the Scarab -- where it goes down, which way it faces, etc).

I have already started studying/practicing for next week's challenge. I like to watch multiple videos of people's run and combine them in what I think is the best plan of action. I am an average player. I had a little trouble with the floodgate mission and much more with Halo until I can remember the best route possible and execute it flawlessly. I'm gonna have trouble with the rest so, to me, it doesn't matter what order they are in but I'll look at your strategy for Tsavo Highway because i need all the help possible.

I also find Tsavo a lot easier than The Storm. Seeing as I can get all the way to the wraith at the end of the level without even stopping to kill anything, I think it takes much less skill and patience than the storm.

I always seem to mess up killing the scarab when I play the storm.

That is the way I did it and I still have not got an Automatic reply for the Halo mission. Yes it was hyperlinked and the description said mythic difficulty.

Im pretty sure Tyrant is an a busy person he doesnt have all day to sit a computer and send confirmation messages to everyone if you did it right when you sent your film submission in then there should be no worries, Im sure he will send out confirmation messages as soon as he gets a chance. He probably has to go through a million and one messages and then find the Halo submissions within all the spam and junk messages he gets so like I said before play some Halo 3 and be patient, we are on Tyrants and Bungies time not our own! (o_O)
