Heh, maybe this will be a little easier for the non-Mythic conquerors like myself. Looking forward to giving it a go though.
You do have some advantages in this, the Visor, Pistol and the Brute Plasma Rifle...

Can't wait to use it, brings me back to Halo 2.
I'm thinking that there are more disadvantages: less total health, lower movement speed, no dual wielding (bye, dual plasma rifles. I'll miss you), improved old AI, new AI...

Just a thought. When do you all think we'll see the first Mythic ODST completion? I'm guessing within 3 weeks from the release date.

I wanna play the game first...enjoy it you know. So that wouldn't be me within 3 weeks.

No black and white in the blue.

I'm gonna play the crap out of this game when it comes out. I think I'll probly start on Legendary. I did Halo 3 on Heroic the first time, but with all my Mythic experience, I'd feel like a failure if I started on anything less than Legendary. I've also been really excited to see what the Engineers (Huragoks) look like since I first read about them in Contact Harvest (Johnson kicks some serious Covie tail).

My bad, guys.

You know, it's weird. You can mod Halo:CE and put the Engineer model in because the data exists. But they look a lot different than in ODST...

Edit:

I think Deja Vu is a reference to the Annual Vidmaster. I'm guessing it involves a long drive.

Please don't discuss the vidmaster achievements in this thread until they're officially out.

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

As long as I can prove that I can continue playing to the standard of Mythic I don't really mind how long it takes. I'll certainly be posting anything I find that may be useful in the hope that someone else can put it to good use. It's part of being a community; we share ideas and collaborate on things. If all the tricks and such were jealously guarded there wouldn't really be much of a sense of involvement would there? Also keep in mind that people can easily rob your file shares of mythic runs should you apply tricks you discovered but are witholding. :-)

Yeah but you can post them on your File share when you're done instead of in the middle so people won't steal them. But that's G.

lol, I could, but for me the films are kind of like medals. We don't really get any other symbol to show people what we've accomplished in-game so it's how I prefer to show what I've done.

And as I type this there's only 4 days until the ODST truck stops in Tyrant's town and 9 days until we can all get ODST. :-D

Can't wait any longer, sick of watching people die in Firefight. =)

Watching people playing Firefight on Normal with their friends as their weapon of choice being the SMG is the most entertaining thing for us these 8 days to watch.

They only use the Pistol against shielded Brutes and SMG against Grunts and Jackals. SMG for long range and Pistol for short range.

You just wanna get a copy and show them how it's done. I've never played the game but still.

I agree with you guys, even the MLG pros couldn't do it right. Watching them waste a Sniper Rifle on Grunts was painful. I mean the Pistol is for Grunts...
Still, only 7 days now and then I'm gonna be hosting a huge ODST launch Firefight party for anyone on my friends list who wants to join (I'll just be running it for hours after college - homework depending - inviting different people in every now and again).
Of course I might play some Campaign first. ;-)

I think I laughed the most when they strafed and shot as fast as they could at the Phantom with the Pistol.

It really tells the difference between Campaign and Matchmaking.

  • 09.15.2009 9:00 AM PDT

You know, after watching a good deal of Firefight gameplay, I've noticed something. It seems like the grenade arc is different in ODST.

I've noticed that in all videos, it looks very confusing.

I'm gonna have to practice those throws if I wanna get a good throw.

It looks like it changes depending on if you run forward/backwards/stay still and throw.

Mythic Difficulty

(Legendary + all skulls activated + scoring)

*Link to Halo 3 variant*



It's no secret. Halo 3: ODST is approaching fast on the gaming horizon and with it are many opportunities to experience Halo in new, exciting ways. Among the net hotness comes a city-scape sandbox in addition to a new Firefight mode where the fun never ends... literally!

Now, the Mythic Community is bringing the epicness into the next chapter of the Halo saga. Not just to campaign, but also into the all new Firefight mode. We plan on teaching you how to make the most out your purchase from the very beginning this time around. We'll guide you through the darkened streets of New Mombasa and shadow you while you annihilate wave after wave of Covenant scum.

I'm using this thread as a *base of operations* where people can both seek and contribute advice on Mythic ODST as it develops.

Stay tuned...


Oh, hello. It seems to be the retard that kicked me from his game FOR NO REASON. Mythic is plain out retarded.

  • 09.17.2009 3:09 PM PDT

There not carrying over, they are all unlocked for you even if you havent played halo 3.

  • 09.17.2009 3:12 PM PDT

Loose talk is noose talk.

So, for this Mythic go around, how will we unlock said achievable?

Will it be:

A) The Entire Game, from start to finish, including Firefight, on Mythic?

B) Flashback missions on Mythic?

C) Mombassa Streets + Flashback Missions on Mythic?

I need to know. I'm actually going to attempt a Mythic runthrough in ODST this time around.

It looks like it will be B, based on this. Bold portions are what I am basing my conclusion off of.

"ODST has the main protagonist, The Rookie, searching for beacons across the city of New Mombasa. It is up to the player how they get to the specific location, and in what order, giving a very open-world feeling to the game [...] Once you go back in time for a short period, you will take control of the player for around thirty minutes, and play the situations that the particular character went through. Unlike the overall game, these flashback scenes go along the path of the linear gameplay that has been common throughout the original trilogy of Halo."

However, based on this part...it might be C.

"During the first playthrough, some areas in the city are inaccessible, and the player is forced to play the flashbacks in chronological order. Completing flashbacks unlocks more areas in the city, allowing the player to progress to the next beacon."

So, I guess...we'd have to count each part of Mombasa Streets as a separate level. I.E.:

Mombasa Streets (Game start to the trigger of the first flashback)
Insert next mission
Mombasa Streets (From that beacon to the next)
Insert that flashback
Etc.

Unless we don't count the city at all and simply play Mythic from the menu by selecting flashbacks as we select missions in Halo 3?

And just thought I'd mention that I've received an e-maill from Play.com saying that my ODST copy has been posted and will arrive in 3-5 days. I'm guessing it'll arrive on Monday, hopefully.

Not counting the city at night will be bad, very bad. Just saying.

Good point actually, there might be some kind of "side quests" like "Sadie's Story" or something similar to do which still prove challenging. I suppose it could depend on how different the Rookie's night time strolls are compared to the other ODSTs run and gun style of play.

Okay, ODST is coming close now. A new era begins for Mythic. I wont be starting until a week or two into ODST, as I need to get some enjoyment out of it first. Then I'm going to start slowly and take my time. =)
