Subject: Will/Should ODST Incorporate Mythic Difficulty?

“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” - Ernest Hemingway

What do you guys think? Will/Should there be an option? I think we need to beat ODST on Mythic Difficulty to get Recon, that way it is still a unique armor. What do you think?

I agree with you 110%. I have seen the skulls option for Campaign on several demonstration videos I've watched, so I can only hope.
Having just finished Halo 3 on Mythic today I need a new challenge to look forward to. :-)

I don't think there should be a Mythic Difficulty Option, but I think if you do a mission Solo, on Legendary, all Skulls on, without quitting out of a level, with Meta-Game Scoring on, then your record says "Mythic", instead of Legendary. Also, I would greatly despise having to do Mythic Difficulty to unlock Recon. I'm fine with just needing to do 7 Vidmasters, then going to your Linked B.net account to get it.

One of the Vidmasters should involve at least part of the Campaign on Mythic difficulty. That way Recon will still be rare and only the people witht he determination to earn Recon will be able to unlock it.

C'mon. It would be really fun! Ok, what if it was Mythic Co-op? What then?

Doing it this way will make it easier to cheat, using Save and Quit, you may complete a level while the stats will display that all skulls were used.

I think Bungie has thought of that and that is why they made the Vidmaster Achievements and that "Achievement Tracker" on Bungie.Net (The bar below the Service Record showing Halo 3 achievements) is the way for us to get Recon, not the Campaign options.

Well, Mythic should require scoring for it to count as Mythic. Then the game stats can show waht they want, but it'll be obvious who cheated.

OH! Remember the scoring achievements for Campaign? Maybe there should be a use of a combo of Scoring and Completion that only allows you to unlock it IF you play all the way through on Mythic. What do you think?

The challenge is what makes it fun. Also I tohught I'd mention that it's really not about the end result, but the journey to reach that result. It's when you look back at what you went through that you realise how much fun it really was.

With ODST, all they would have to do is simply implement, that you cannot get the "Completed on Mythic Difficulty" Emblem on your Service Record unless you do it without quitting out of a level.

I think that Mythic Difficulty would be a great idea, especially if it's required to unlock Recon. I'm kinda upset that all you need is 7 Vidmasters to unlock this special armor but i won't be upset if one of the vidmasters is beat it via Mythic Difficulty and other hard achievements unlike the easier vidmasters we have right now.

  • 06.21.2009 11:24 AM PDT

Why Hello There ;D

You do know what MYTHIC Difficulty is right? No deaths, no saves, all skulls on, legendary. You really want to beat ODST on these terms for a suit of recon?
That's a little extreme. I thought the level HALO on halo 3 was difficult on mythic.

Yes i think we all know what mythic is, and think about it. Recon has been a prize for people accomplishing amazing things or contributing or even doing stupid things like getting hit in the head with a cone. And now they are going to make it so everyone can get it so there goes the big prize everyones wanted. So i think it should be a big challenge to get the armor so few have. I want it as badly as anyone else yes but do i want it to be some easy to get trophy? Hell no so yes i think it would be a great idea to have Mythic Difficulty completion a requirement to get Recon.

  • 06.21.2009 11:32 AM PDT

Why Hello There ;D

I still would have to say no. Maybe beat it on SLASO difficulty, but not mythic. I don't liket the idea of it being easy to obtain; but I'm not going to set out the impossible. Remember. We are not playing as master cheif here.
If you completed Halo 3 on MYTHIC Difficulty, then I believe you can suggest this. Why suggest something that you didn't even do yet? You know what I mean?

I think it should be this hard to get. It was near impossible to get Recon before but i don't think that should change that much, i still think it should be near impossible but just a bit nearer. I mean it's nice that Recon will be available if you get the Vidmasters but i still think that only the players who are willing and capable of doing something as hard as Mythic Difficulty on the Halo 3 ODST Campaign should get Recon Armor.

But yes i understand what you mean.

According to the Campaign menu, you can only select Primary and Secondary skulls. So no Mythic, unless it's a built-in difficulty.

SLASO is similar to Mythic except it allows cheating via the use of Save & Quit to circumvent the effects of the Iron skull. What would be the point in that?

And I have completed Halo 3 on Mythic which is why I'm agreeing here, I'm far from an amazing player and I've learned that all Mythic requires is patience and willpower. If you want to succeed you will. It's that simple.

Another Vidmaster Idea is to incorperate the sofish. Just like in other games, this could be an easter egg in the open-world campaign, only this could be a secret acheivement that could also unlock Recon along with the Mythic Difficulty.

That would be interesting, though after a few people found it there would be vids up everywhere about where it's at. Which would mean most of the players would just wait till these videos appeared and then BAM! easy achievement
