I think there should be some kind of reward for acomplishing the campain in Mythic difficulty, Recon Armor or a vidmaster achivement could be an option.


I'd have liked to see everyone who completes (or has completed) Halo 3 on Mythic receive Recon. Although I've been saying that for months, but the fact that I recently completed Mythic would make me look selfish to request such a thing.
As for now I'm just hoping that the Vidmasters could maybe involve the Flashback missions on Mythic.

No, half the challenge of Mythic Difficulty is getting all the skulls.

But after you do get all of them, then yes, you should unlock Mythic.

That would be interesting. Do you think there will be an achievement incorporating Mythic?

Not really, I can place a safe bet that some unscrupulous person will make a guide on Game FAQs or Youtube showing the locations of the skulls weeks after the game is released. It then comes down to a question of "do I want an achievement or a fun time hunting?" to which most players would respond "achievement."
You see what I'm getting at?

I do, however like the idea of Mythic difficulty to be made official and when selected from the menu place the game on Legendary difficulty with all skulls active. Much more user friendly.

Get in the flask!

should make a mythic dificulty cos legendary just doesnt cut it

  • 06.26.2009 4:09 AM PDT

Yep. Love Reach.

It would be cool if they did just to leave the option but I think it would be a little challenging. So I just stick with legendary.

That's the point. We're wondering if a Vidmaster Achievement should involve Mythic. (If the leaks are to be believed then none of them do, but they come pretty close :-D)
And since the Vidmasters result in Recon then they should be as hard and inventive as possible.

Have you guys SEEN the new vidmasters? 2 of them are NOT easy and should prove challenging.

Those aren't completly said in stone yet. Plus, we aren't supposed to talk about them. The rules and all.

I remember when my friends and I did a practice run the day before the Vidmaster Annual could be unlocked, and we got it anyways. At first we thought we broke the game, but then we figured out that we were not alone.

nope. terrible idea. mythic shouldn't be required to get recon. and besides it doesn't matter. Bungie isn't going to change anything now. vidmasters = recon. also, it's just armor.

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.

Give the mob its recon.

I completely agree with this post on all points. Legendary + all skulls equals Mythic badge.

  • 06.26.2009 12:05 PM PDT

If you are talking about an option with "easy, normal, heroic, and legandary", No. I saw some E3 video where for a second they showed the difficulties. Mythic is not one of them.

Changes can be made. Maybe it should be unlockable after you find all the skulls in the campaign.

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 agree.

Well, this would also make Recon worth wearing again.Even if only one Vidmaster said you had to beat one level on Mythic, I would be happy.

The Achievements have been confirmed and none of the vidmasters are to do with Mythic difficulty.

We aren't allowed to speak of it. As far as everyone else knows, the achievements are still up in the air. It is against the rules to talk about leaked content, so please stick to the rules.
