If you got the Auto-Reply saying something along the lines as:
Thanks for entering the Rafle..
[Or related]
Then your message has been received.

If you are blocked, and send a message to Tyrant, you will receive a Auto-Message saying:
Tyrant cannot receive your message now
[or something related].

He has also stated that if you don't receive a auto message at all, it could just be a bug. Just remember, he has to go through +1000 messages each week. I don't think he will have time to message people telling them if there raffle was accepted into it. If you did your mythic map right, you won't have anything to worry about.

Why Hello There ;D

Try the xbox.com forums. They are the officials and can help you. All I can say is to make sure you still have gold membership, and re-sign back in.

Where does it say ''No deaths'', I died the first minute in halo. And completed it in 26 min or so, so where did you get that from? And what do you mean with: ''Remember, do not the campaign missions from your file share. This will eliminate you from the competition.'' the sentence does not make sense to me.

I will ask again, if your file has 0dls does this mean that they have not checked you yet? Or do they only look @ game history sometimes?

i think they only look at the game history but there are a few that they download just for checking but you should be ok, you can die but it sends you back to the start and doesnt count as a death so its ok to die i think it means if it doesnt send u to the start of the mission :S u need to keep all the SLASO clips on your fileshare throught the competition to be included in the 10th raffle i think so keep them on just in case but if you dont have bungie pro i dunno wat you should do but it has been said that you can put them onto another accounts fileshare as long as the active competition video is on your fileshare

This is actually in the definition of Mythic Difficulty, in the FAQ. It is the very first FAQ.

The film must be the unedited footage of your mission run, without any deaths or restarts. If you die in the first minute of Halo, then make a successful run of it, you'll still need to run it again until you get a film without deaths.

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!

You don't honestly believe that 700 people are going to complete every challenge do you? Floodgate was an opener to the challenge. I beat that crap in 8:25 my first SLASO run. Anyone with any Halo talent could have beaten that and we only had 700 people qualify. My point is this: These numbers are going to dwindle....fast.


I am going off all the info provided. If you are to view url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33131000]t he first Summer Mythic Recon Challenge thread[/url], it has about 150 post.
This (number 2) Summer Mythic Recon Challenge thread has 670 post. If you look at the number of post, that is about 4x [plus 70 post] over the first one, as I stated in one my of earlier post. That let alone tells you more people are attempting this challenge.
Just because the challenge gets harder, does not mean that the numbers will fall. People will be more anxious than ever to get that RECON and will spend hours and hours doing just one challenge [As I did my first time doing a mythic challenge before I watched the video guide].
From what the numbers are showing right now, saying 700 entries each contest is being too nice and under-estimating.


ODST Fallen is correct. As the missions become more difficult, the number of entries will decrease. I saw this with the Mythical Mythic Map Pack Challenge and am already starting to see it with SMRC. The numbers are still in the hundreds, but have decreased a lot from the previous challenge.

Floodgate is as easy as it can get with Mythic. In most cases, if you die on Floodgate you've lost maybe 2-5 minutes of time. Big deal. That's a lot different than spending 60-90 minutes reaching the dam on Sierra 117, waiting for the Pelican to arrive, and than getting killed by plasma grenade splash damage from a Grunt you somehow missed earlier (speaking from experience here). While I'm sure there will be a handfull of players such as myself who will merely start it up again and keep playing to see it through, most will throw down their controllers and wait to see how challenging the Vidmasters are for ODST.

Most players are under the illusion that if they can't beat it within their first few tries, it must be impossible. This is what makes each and every Mythic Conqueror special in my eyes. They didn't give up. The "Mythic Master" medal on Halocharts.com is far more rare than Recon Armor. Though anyone can do it, few people believe in themselves enough to try. Hopefully in future Halo games, there will at least be a Bungie.net based medal/award for this to encourage more people to go forth into the Mythic wilderness.

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

How many people do you guess will send an eligable entry for The Ark, The Covenant, or Sierra 117?

Also, I'm on my grandmothers old computer and it isn't working very well, the screen is kinda broken, so can you tell me this. I'm going away for a summer camp next week for three weeks, making me miss three missions past The Storm. Because of this, can I submit my entries for the final two contests?

im not trying to seem cool but this quote from tyrant made me feel so much better because it took me 3 hours and 24 minutes to do halo :S it had me determined and i dunno how i managed to carry on but it just goes to show wat people will do to get their recon :X

I don't know why this would make you feel cool or something, cause Halo and Floodgate are pretty easy, and I'm gonna say that The Storm will be as well, I play that mission all the time on Legendary with a couple skulls on and it's nothing, same could be said about Tsavo Highway.

You already know the answer to this...

  • 06.24.2009 8:44 AM PDT

It only says that you can not die in Mythic, because you have to start over. It does not say, when you die in your film, you start over and complete it then that it does not count.

Tyrant, can you please confirm any of this? If you die in your film, but still complete it with''No deaths'', else you can not complete it. Does it still count? Because in my game history I did not die, but in my film I have.

So is it true what paneerakbari says? So when you die, you have to start up a new level. Then select the level again that you want to complete(Go trough all the loading)? I mean beating the level is beating the level. This does not make any sense to me?

No deaths simply means successfully making it from start to finish in the mission without dying. Nothing more. Obviously this is implied with Iron, but it's included to be on the safe side. If you die, it doesn't matter whether or not you manually restart the mission or allow Iron to do it for you. This is included in THE RULES. Will nobody ready THE RULES???

I'm sorry tyrant, paneerakbari(Not hard feelings) added alot of confusion. So I just had to make sure, I've done it correctly.

Thanks.
