Go Go Happy Time!

To make it more complicated, why don't you have visr on the whole time? That would make uber hard especially on maps like Uplift Reserve.

Shut up MATCLAN, I'm a Mombasa Streets Fanboy! ;P If anything is NOT pointless, it's Mombasa Streets, got that? (I KILL you!)


Never said I dislike Mombasa Streets, apart from the final bit of NMPD HQ I'd say it's my favourite part of the game. It just doesn't seem practical on Mythic is all I was saying.

Yes, Mombassa Streets is awesome, but on Mythic it would be too confusing to track. Btw, Uplift Reserve down. Only real problem I had was running out of ammo, as carbine brutes are random, meaning ammo is scarce.

I've been torturing myself with the task of completing Coastal Highway. Twice now I've made it to that stretch with eight Ghosts or so...only for the Olifant to die because I can't finish off the one or two remaining Ghosts in time.

That was the hardest part on my legendary run too. The problem seems to be that if you try to kill the Ghosts quickly you die, whereas if you try to pick them off one or two at a time the Olifant gets wrecked instead. There'll be a happy medium somewhere, but it would be so much better if Buck was actually an aggressive gunner.

  • 09.29.2009 3:56 PM PDT

I'm done for tonight. I made it to the very last area with enemies on the highway. I never really counted on the possibility of dying right there, despite the fact there is a Chieftain. It's the small section of the highway. I don't even have to worry about the Olifant dying, I just need to take pop shots. Unfortunately, it looks like my shot in to a group of Grunts managed to kill none of them.

On the bright side, I at least confirmed where the happy medium is.

I have strengthened my resolve. Perhaps because I had made such quick headway I seemed as if I do not think there is a challenge I cannot handle...but like Halo 3, there comes a level that requires you to practice until it is second nature.

In Halo 3, it was Rally Point Bravo of the Ark.

In ODST, it is section 86 of the highway. So I have practiced and thought about it, and I realized a possibility: a method by which I can remove the enemies from being in that area in the first place.

I may not have found anything along the lines of the Ark Trick this time, but what I did find is something very noticeable, but also very important if you decide to act on it. Entering the area with no enemies before Section 86, four Phantoms fly overhead toward Section 86 with two Ghosts each. These Phantoms deliver the Ghosts that are a major pain in the ass; the solution: practice shooting the Phantoms down, but do it in a way the Ghosts do not land on the road.

I've nearly mastered it and can do it in two ways. It's extremely satisfying to kill a Phantom and watch the two Brutes fall off the level. Especially consider that makes the only opposition in Section 86 two Shade turrets.

Did I ever say you did dislike Mombasa Streets?

And cmon, don't tell me you didn't know I was joking.

Well I've managed to find a pretty solid way of taking out Armor Chieftains now. Before, I used to Plasma pistol them, get within hugging distance and out-melee them. Since you get knocked back when you get meleed, I can't do that anymore. However, keeping a distance of about 2 feet away from them seems to work, as they will still melee instead of shoot, and it's still easy to swing around behind them.

I see that someone also earned all the Firefight skulls/achievements on their ODST page.

Over 10 Million in Solo Legendary Firefight

I suppose the last skull is for 10 M on Legendary?

Good job Vince, I'm sorry to say though, you have one more level.

Mombasa Streets *EVIL LAUGH*

No seriously, good job, so what are you going to do next?

  • 09.30.2009 8:58 AM PDT

Probably more Campaign and Firefight, of course.

I pretty much got up this morning, did some practice shooting with the tank and started the mission up confident I could at least take out three of the four Phantoms as they came by.

When I got to that point, I wasn't nervous. I stopped my tank and waited for the first Phantom to appear. I took out all four with ease.

There are 10 things I know about you. 1)You are reading my sig. 2)You are thinking that's a stupid fact. 4)You didn't notice I skipped 3. 5)You are checking it now. 6)You're smiling 7)You are still reading my sig. 8)You know all these things are true. 10)You didn't notice I skipped 9.

If I look retarded, It's because I make myself look retarded.

Don't even consider fighting them. Just give them the slip then run like hell.

...Which is what I did. Tayari Plaza Mythic down. :-)

There are 2 deaths in the film simply because they were at the start and I decided to let Iron do it's job for once. After finishing everything I'll go back and make a flawless video.

Lol, sorry, I guess I'm behind the times. That firey skull is pretty sick though, I wonder how high of a score you need? 5 M? 7,777,777? 10 M?

Could be something like that, seeing as the score increases on every trophy even if the difficulty increases as well.

I actually have noticed something on Mythic in ODST that I neglected to bring up. It seems that boarding doesn't work with the Black Eye Skull anymore. On another note, a single stick to the Warthog can be survived if you're at full health. If you're not, you'll die. Also, if you've played Firefight on a wave with Catch Skull active and seen a Fuel Rod Grunt, you'll notice that they can throw Grenades faster than any other enemy.

As far as mission difficulty goes...

Coastal Highway is the most difficult mission on Mythic, including missions from Halo 3. Yes, they're different games, but if we include all levels on a list, this still outranks the Ark.

Here is a breakdown of the highway section of the level.

Section A (the number can be read on the part of the building with the next door): Loads of Grunts, one of which has a Fuel Rod Gun.
Section B: Jackals, more Grunts, and at the far end, five Brutes. The Captain has either a Carbine or a Brute Shot.
Section C: Two watchtowers loaded with three Fuel Rod Grunts each followed by a swarm of Drones at the end.
Section D: Much the same as 98, but the enemies are only just arriving in Phantoms.
Section E: Six Ghosts.
Gauss Hog available at junction.
Section F: Ghosts and Banshees.
Section G: Ghosts, Banshees, and a Wraith.
Access to Scorpion Tank.
Section H: Two Shade Turrets, Banshees, and an Anti-Air Wraith.
Section I: No enemies on the highway; four Phantoms fly by here to drop off two Ghosts each in the following section.
Section J: Variable number of Ghosts (depends on if you killed any Phantoms or not in the previous Section), two Shade Turrets.
Section K: Grunts, Brutes, Jumppack Brutes, Chieftain with Fuel Rod Gun.

I'll make a list of mission difficulty based on my impressions later.
