Subject: Summer Mythic Recon Challenge

Do we have to wait until the current challenge is over to submit the form for Halo charts or can we do it while the contest is still going... for example can i submit the form for Storm today if i wanted to and get the medal eventually?

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.

The Halo Charts medals and the SMRC are two totally different things. You can submit Mythic completions whenever you wish, even after the contest is over.

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

Thus far I have received all of your entries. It may be a situation where if you've received this particular auto-reply before (like for the Floodgate Challenge), you won't get it again (like for all the following Challenges). That's the only thing I can think of since I've been hearing it a lot lately.

Has anyone received it more than once?

Meh, Halo Reach time.

  • 06.29.2009 8:45 AM PDT

Hey, Tyrant did you get my message last week? It's also page 31 of the Forum. I have been wondering what you thought about it, and what you decision would be. As always thanks for your help!

ya know, im proud to be an inverted player, its like we're a rare breed or something


Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

I haven't gotten an Auto reply since my first entree. I'm guessing its just a glitch in the system.

Hundreds...

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

I'm going to guess that will be down to maybe a hundred by the end. I haven't tried the Ark or Sierra 117 or the later levels yet on Mythic so I can't really say how hard they are, but my guess is if there are hundreds for Floodgate and Halo, that will drop by maybe 10-25% each competition. I could be totally wrong though.

I received it for the Floodgate entry, but I had not received it for neither Halo nor The Storm. I'm confident you got my entries though because I don't really expect PMs to get lost during the sending process. :)

Don't be stupid. I'm sure Bungie has more important things to do than listening to challenges.

If you want to verse Bungie, wait for the special Bungie Day playlist.

Mors tua vita mea

First time making it to 2nd lakebed and both AA's get whomped and then I poke my head out to the pod and of course, Mr. Marine down on the far end is firing long range rockets at a grunt uphill and guess who was in his firing line...

Le sigh... back I go again :)

  • 06.30.2009 12:47 AM PDT

I haven't had much time to do this challenge but the few times i've tried i've only made it up to hijacking the wraith. The furthest was when i destroyed all of the ghosts except two and one of them came up towards me and shot at me i destroyed it but the mortars are sooo slow that I died when it was in midair. Also i find myself running out of br ammo frequently

If you guys are complaining about how hard this one is wait till you get to the Ark, or the Covenant. You will have room to complain once you get there.

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

I'm having some trouble with the Storm. I can barely get one marine, aside form the warthog, to the first lakebed. They seem to always get multi-stuck the instant they move through the first room. I try to take out as many grunts as I can before they move through, but Tyrant's walkthrough makes it seem like they're invincible compared to mine.

And even if I get to the Scarab, it somehow always decides to take out the two missle-pods first, leaving me with very limited ammo and a whole lotta pain to dish out. I have yet to get past it. I dunno what keeps happening to my marines, but they barely pull off killing the two wraiths without my help.

I dunno what keeps happening to my marines, but they barely pull off killing the two wraiths without my help.

Same thing was happening to me when I first started The Storm. My marines always died leaving me to take on the covenant by myself. But, if you can get to the first lakebed with just the marines in the warthog they should be able to distract the main covenant force long enough for you to hijack the wraith. But remember to park the warthog exactly where the walkthrough says. It makes your life a whole lot easier.

As for the scarab, try to board it. The missile pods seem lilke their the safest but they're not, too many factors come into play when you use them. i.e. marines with rockets, AA gun, more chances to make mistakes. Go get the sniper and try to headshot some of the grunts on board it, then wait until it looks pretty clear of enemies. To board I recommend the right crane. The scarab doesn't move as when you jump off the right one.

Lastly, given time the marines will take out the AA wraiths. I haven't had a time when I actually had to step in.

After that, it's fairly easy till the end of the mission. Just let Arbiter do most of the work.
Check this film to see how I did it.

I can almost always get the wraith, but a few times now the covie's completely wipeout my marines, then come after me before I have a chance to deal with the ghosts and either they kill me, or I get distracted and the second phantom kills me. It always seems like the stupidest thing that kills me.

I tried boarding the Scarab on one run, only to be instantly smashed by a falling, dead Hornet. I swear.

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

OK so I just now took out the scarab... aaaand my shields aren't recharged. Do they recharge as I go through some sort of barrier? I was under the assumption that they went full as soon as it went down. I'm critical right now and I'm iffy on trying the next area without being fully prepared.

EDIT*

Well DESPITE going into battle with critical shields, I was able to finally complete the mission. I swear I had the worst luck throughout this mission. The Arbiter did next to nothing while I was almost eaten alive by the chieftain. My video is now in my file share, you should watch the last 30 minutes or so, it has the most intense and lucky confrontation I think I've ever lived to be happy about.

In any case, if you want to see how it's done WITHOUT SHIELDS FROM THE SCARAB ON, watch my "The Storm" video in my fileshare. I definiely had some lucky-ass moments in there.
