Me and my ODST we are our own breed, forged from combat and bread from years of battle as ODST. So you can take your -blam!- ODST clan invites and shove 'em. Rookies don't run jack, we do.

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.


Also, there are only 17 Mythic Completest that are currently recorded by Tyrant's group. If anything let that be a challenge to everyone who thinks they have the stamina to complete this task. Don't believe me? Clicky Here

Also, someone stated earlier that if we die in the video that we are disqualified/the run doesn't count. This sound absolutely ludicrous, and unfounded. Seeing as the level restarts when you are pummeled to your death, I really don't think this is true. I'm not 100% here, but I'm pretty sure.

Death is a way of life. Watch your back... and around the rest of you.

i have a quick question, though its speed in answering may be debatable. I realize now that I unfortunately failed at properly hyperlinking the Floodgate, and inevitably Halo, submissions. Despite my failure, can I still be in the running for the last raffle? Also, will this lack of linkage make it impossible for me to become a Mythic Conquerer, or can I still use these videos and be ranked among the elite campaignists?

I really want Recon, but I really, really, REALLY want to become a Mythic Conquerer. These players should be revered and respected more than they have been.

Thank you. I was just hoping to know what I needed to do first since my Bungie Pro expires soon and I want to make sure if I have to hurry to become a Conqueror or if there is a six-slot file share method.

i do believe that for this contest you can put some of the videos on another account but not the active level but im not sure if this applies when trying to be a mythic conquerer but its wortha shot :D

"Be Silent and Swift..."

Awesome. Just finished Halo in 26:15. I stopped trying for a few days after a mishap with the Arbiter, involving one very dead Sergeant Johnson. First try today, no deaths. Feels good.

  • 06.24.2009 5:51 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... :)

I have a little predicament, rather important actually (well to me anyways, don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing).

I still don't have my Halo Charts medal for completing the mythic Floodgate challenge. Now I'm a very patient person, and I totally understand if whoever distributes the players their medals is still going through the database you sent them, Tyrant, but I need to make sure that this also doesn't mean that you didn't get my entry, or that I didn't link it properly.

Now I'm about 100% sure everything about it was perfect. I followed the rules to the best of my ability, and I've been a member here who's been using Hyperlinks for a while, but I need to make sure the reason I still don't have my medal isn't of some fault on my part. As there's only 2 days remaining on the Mythic Challenge for Halo, I need to rectify any mistakes that could prevent my entries, or more importantly my medals in the future.

So, Tyrant, or anybody that knows for certain, is it possible that I still don't have my medal because of a problem on my end, or should I still be patient in waiting for it to show up? Or am I just not finding it on my page because I'm not looking in the right place? :P

Im Awsome.

Heres a question for anyone who has succesfully completed the halo mission. WTF is up with the unlimited spartan laser thing. in tyrants video, he kills johnson and takes the laser which then has unlimited ammo right? well... i have tried this soooo many times and it always just turns up to have "1" ammo. soo, i went and tried it on all the other dificulties, and (correct me if im wrong) as far as i can tell, the unlimited ammo laser only apears on Easy difficulty. i tried many different ways with miniscule changes that i thought maybe could have helped, such as letting johnson shoot once or not letting him shoot, and it still would not work. i followed tyrants tutorial exactly and it still didnt work. Can anyone else confirm that they got the laser with unlimited ammo on SLASO?


Oh and also i havnt been on the forum in a few days, do we know who won floodgate yet??

Well, from my understanding from personal experience, you get the unlimited laser by killing Johnson and taking it from him. However, doing so is pointless before the monitor battle, unless you are up on the cliff with Johnson (I'm not sure if the glitch works at this point in the mission).

You can try to kill him before you trigger the Monitor battle, (which is what I was trying to do when I posted above. The Arbiter can and will kill you in one shot if you aren't careful), and trigger it when he is dead. After the battle, he should be alive and well, and probably get killed by the flood. Then you can take his laser, which should have infinite ammo, and use it to blast your way to the Warthog.

But, as I said before, I tried, and I died for it, so be careful. I managed to do it without the laser.

Hope this helps some.

I received my Halo 3 Recon armor on 8-3-09 for completing Sierra 117 on Mythic Difficulty through the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge.

A winner was chosen and notified, but due to security reasons their name isn't posted, as with any competition where Recon is involved. We still have yet to hear about Halo.

It was me. It was unfounded. I have since been corrected in my interpretation of the rules (thank you Tyrant). Also, it is not in the least bit ludicrous, IMHO.

  • 06.24.2009 10:36 PM PDT

[quote] in tyrants video, he kills johnson and takes the laser which then has unlimited ammo right?[quote]

You are half right on this one. Yes, you do kill Johnson and take his splaser, but not on the first kill.

For more information, please refer to the Official Halo 3 *Mythic Difficulty* Guide.

I was given to understand that any questions regarding Mythic Difficulty would be answered there.

Where did you hear that?? Tyrant's last post on the matter said we're still waiting for a Floodgate winner to be selected.

The winner of the Floodgate Challenge has been notified via Bungie.net Private Message. If you didn't receive a message, keep trying. We have nine more challenges and nine more chances for you to win Recon!


Yes, a winner was chosen for floodgate!

Take a closer look at the video. Notice that I don't take the laser until I kill him the second time. The first laser will only give you one shot. Every laser after that will have infinite ammo.

This has already been answered multiple times. Scroll through the last couple of pages.

If any of your submissions did not qualify for one of the raffles, then you will NOT be elligible for the 10th raffle. However, that doesn't prevent you from becoming a Conqueror altogether, of course. A Mythic Conqueror is simply someone who completes the entire game on Mythic Difficulty and can back it up with undenyable evidence.
