The last vidmaster will be in halo ODST firefight mode,so it might be like to survive 100+ waves!?!?!

In the Podcast, they said that pretty much no one could survive for 99 rounds.

i heard that the last vidmaster achievement will be very difficult and only few will be able to unlock it in order to get recon in halo 3.What`s your thoughts guys???


Keeping my fingers crossed for some sort of Mythic achievement.

Yes, we all know how 1337 you are. You played the game in full-gimp mode and won. Good job. Achievements, however, are supposed to be doable by most competent players if they put in a good amount of time and effort. An Achievement that less than 100 people are going to be able to earn is not appropriate.

I actually think anyone could get Mythic. How long it would take them is another story.

It does not matter to me how difficult the vidmaster achievements are, I will complete them. I have done harder - more stupid - and time consuming achievements than anything I feel Bungie will throw at us.

Long live the Vid-Master.

I was thinking this would be a good vidmaster achievement. There'd be skulls around the city. They'd be Halo 2 skulls though, so they'd kick in right away. The vidmaster achievement would be to collect all of the skulls. It would be challenging because finding the skulls would be hard, but navigating the city to find them would be the real challenge because finding the next skull would get harder and harder as the skulls increased.

Wouldn't that be a great challenge?

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

They only reason more people haven't done it is because they are intimidated by it and there is no tangible reward for their efforts. I can guarantee you that if I can do it, than any fan of Halo can do the same. It's not a question of if people can do it, but rather their willingness to try.

This I can agree with. Personally, I'd rather have a tough achievement I know I can eventually obtain if I'm willing to work at it long enough. Many of the current FFA achievements are more based on luck than skill. You could play Matchmaking everyday for the next two years and never get the Two for One, whereas Mythic may take you a month the first time through.

I would suspect that people who buy ODST are fans of the campaign experience. I would think they would enjoy an extra challenge that prolongs the life of the game.

Am I expecting to see it? No. But I can always hope. Really, the campaign community that doesn't participate in this really doesn't realize what it's missing.

IM A LEGIT 16

They only reason more people haven't done it is because they are intimidated by it and there is no tangible reward for their efforts. I can guarantee you that if I can do it, than any fan of Halo can do the same. It's not a question of if people can do it, but rather their willingness to try.

I think it's more about how much time they are willing to commit to it. Bungie shouldn't make "Endurance" achievments, like get 5000 XP. A Mythic challenge would be similar, since people would be simply redoing the level over and over again, making it more time consuming than challenging.

I think it should be something fun, but at the same time difficult.
Something you would want to do but would have a hard time doing, rather than a chore that takes up all of your time.

I'd say that they will be extremely difficult.

I don't really see it as such. How much more enduring is it than Legendary? In all seriousness, my first run through Halo 2 Legendary took longer than Halo 3 Mythic.

People fear Mythic the same reason they do Cortana, propaganda.

What if the last Vidmaster was to have Recon?


That would be an hilarious smack in the face :D

It will probably have to do with Fire fight, like reaching a certain number of waves. Might even be something similar to annual where you have to beat the final level on legendary with skulls on.

  • 06.10.2009 12:06 PM PDT

At least one will probably be unlocked in Firefight. Probably something insane, like reaching the 50th set or something.

In Mombasa Streets, travel a total of 777 miles. :)

That would be an awesome achievement.


I can see that as a vidmaster/secret achievement.

  • 06.10.2009 12:09 PM PDT

No, you can wait. This is Halo time.

but i wanna cookie more!

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

*sniff* the evil Tyrant122312 doesn't want me to has R3c0nz :'(


lol. All I want is for people to challenge themselves and experience the campaign at its best. I hear a lot of complainers out there state that the campaign was too short and easy, but they've never even attempted Mythic.


Um any game can be hard if you make the Campaign ridiculously unfair for the player....and give them only one life throughout the campaign. In fact I've almost heard of no games that aren't, other then racing games. What is difficult is making a "fair" game which is hard for the player.

  • 06.10.2009 12:18 PM PDT

It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro.... prick.

It better be difficult. I dont want recon to become just another unlockable armor, I want it to remain "Mythic"

  • 06.10.2009 12:22 PM PDT

My guess that it would be in Firefight. Something like Survive x amount of hours with all the skulls on, or kill so many covenant with a plasma pistol. Something in that sort. I'm sure that finding/doing things in the city will have a lot to do with the vidmasters.

I hope:

1) you can't "boost" to get it
2)It is based on your skill, so it would probably have to be done alone
3) it is harder than annual, I could tell it was supposed to be really hard, but it wasn't...

Edit-Forgot how to count to 3
