Urk,

I just read the weekly update you authored regarding the recon challenge... I noticed you have a few tips on submitting the films and I also noticed that we should submit the films to you. Prior to reading that, I've been submitting the films to Tyrant.

I just wanted to clarify WHO we should be submitting films to regarding the challenge. Urk or Tyrant?

Thanks

Although Urk posted the message, it was written by Tyrant. I can see how this can be confusing.

I thought that might be the case but the challenges are getting pretty rough so I just wanted to make sure that I was following the submission instructions to the T.

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!

From what I've been hearing from the crowd, a number of people are considering Tsavo Highway easier than The Storm. While this wasn't the case on my initial run, if this winds up being true for most of you, then I guess you could consider this week a step down? lol. Enjoy it. Next week is a doozy ;-)

did you here that all halo player get to vs bungie tomrrow and if you win you get recon

  • 07.06.2009 6:40 PM PDT

Wait, you actually checked this?

Will you be my friend?

Did you hear that if you get to vs Bungie tomorrow and beat them, you get Recon?

Yeah, we've known about that for (what is considered to be on the Internet) quite a while now.
However, the odds of getting Recon through this method are way better than the Bungie vs. World deal. Not to say I won't try, though ;P

Also, fix'd your post for great justice.

EDIT: Still no word yet on whether or not the winner from The Storm has been chosen yet?

I'm very much looking forward to hearing the results of the Storm challange.

I failed to win Recon in the Bungie vs The World challange yesterday.

So, I assume this has been asked before, but... if we submitted the maps right, we should at least have the Floodgate medal on our HaloCharts page, right? I wanted to save submitting my video to HaloCharts since it would remove any guarantee that I had completed the submission successfully.

This has been answered previously, but you need to submit a claim form to Halo Charts, through their site, manually in order to receive the Mythic medals. To submit this claim, you will be asked to link the game page NOT the film, of your run. The link to submit is chained through Challenges at the top of the page.

First off, you should have room for The Covenant and Cortana in your fileshare. And you don't need all of them in there at the same time, just the current weeks mission.

Second, you don't need an open space in your fileshare to get into the tenth raffle. Remember that the tenth raffle is for only those who have beat all nine missions before or during the challenge.

Third, the tenth raffle is still a long ways off, and Sierra 117, Crow's Nest, and The Ark are standing in your way.

  • 07.09.2009 9:15 AM PDT

ok thanks i was under the impression that i needed all the levels on my file share at the same time to prove am worthy of the 10th raffle ?

I have now submitted my Tsavo SLASO mission, with a few hours to spare before the deadline:-

http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3f ileid=85541042

I enjoyed this map! IMHO Tsavo SLASO is easier than Storm SLASO. In fact, with a suitable route and a reasonable amount of luck you can get to the final battle with the Wraiths, skipping every fight, just by rushing through. You can drive all the way from the start right up to the first big tunnel barrier, and run from there onwards on foot.

With a good strategy, using vehicles, maintaining a safe distance, playing safe, every step of this mission is simple and reliable, and requires minimal skill and luck. In my video use Tyrant's 2.0 strategy, with some minor variations. I take my time at the fight before the first big road tunnel barrier, rather risk a sneaky win from the hilltop. I also usually board a Chopper at that point, for a few reasons -- it recharges your shields, a Chopper can get onto the other side of the broken bridge even if you don't have a grav lift, it's an easy way to kill the two brutes outside the tunnel that leads to the final area, etc.

Having said all of that, in the final area I accidentally lost my BR, and lost pretty much all my shields in a careless first assault on the wraith's gunner, and so had to proceed very cautiously from there.

Can we do this on co-op too? and how do we turn all the skulls on?

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

BTW for those of you concenered with not recieving the auot-message from Tyrant after submitting an entry, it won't come as long as you have a previous auto messgae from him in your inbox. If you delete the older auto-message, you should get the new one. Worked for me anyway.

  • 07.09.2009 9:07 PM PDT

Thanks i was wondering why i wasnt getting one :D i was always asking tyrant to check if he got it and he did now i dont have 2 ask :)
