Fuel Rod Grunts have always been throwing grenades faster, same with Grunts wielding deployable turrets. This was in Halo 3 too, wasn't it?

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

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.

Just something to add to Vincent's Mythic musings:
Enemies seem much more random as far as weapon spawns go in ODST. I only played tayari Plaza 3 times, but the Brutes at the start both had different weapons each time along with the Grunts varying more between Needlers and Plasma Pistols.

Speaking of which; is it just me, or do both the Needler and Beam Rifle feel much weaker with regards to the amount of shots needed to achieve the final result (explosion or armour removal)?

That is intense. I'd never have the time to do that... awesome stuff.

And congrats Vince! 8 days after the release and all 8 missions down. I'll definitely need to take a look at your run of Coastal Highway when I get to it.

If my memory serves me correctly, the Beam Rifle doesn't seems to be weakened. I'm not so sure about the needler... I barely use it in Mythic.

Beam Rifle now seems tot ake a tleast 3 shots to disarm/kill a Brute whereas before I'm sure it was 2 (for lesser Brutes at least).
Then as for the Needler, I use it for shielded jackals in Sierra 117 and today in Tayari Plaza. There seems to be a noticable difference in the amount of needles required to cause a detonation in ODST.

The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

3 Hours of Legendary Firefight on Crater...AND I WASN'T SIGNED IN WHEN STARTING THE GAME.

This is the worse -blam!- that has ever happened to me, some god who has to do with Halo does not like me.

Here's stuff that happened:

Killed by a Hunter melee attack through the wall.

Power Drained at Spawn point. (Blackeye on)

Hammered Fuel Rod Chieftain in back, he flew away, turned around and shot me in the air.

Pretty much the only WTFs. The rest, well, unknown sticks, got sniped by a Carbine Jackal trying to flee, got ripped to a million pieces by Drones who ONLY showed up when I went outside to deal with the spawn camping Hunter (while the other Hunter is range shooting on the other side)

Anyway, anytime I feel proud of something I've done, someone in this thread or the Halo 3 thread always bursts my bubble.
So I got to set 4, didn't bother getting to 5 after realizing that it won't upload. Rushed 'till I died.

Got just under a million, which sounds horrible for a 3 hour game, but shut up, it's supposed to go slow if I get 2 Drone waves in a row that camps on the other side of map in 15 minutes, or Hunters with their G tactics, not to mention Grunts and Jackals who show up from God's ass when you're dealing with Drones with an SMG and no headshot weapon.

I'm so pissed right now, lol.

To above posts: Needler detonations won't even destroy a Brute's shields. You'll need two detonations, same with stickies.

The Beam rifle is the same from what I've seen, 3 shots so bring down shields, 3 shots including headshot in the third kills a Brute. It took two shots on Brute Bodyguards in Halo 3 I think. But it took 3 shots on the rest.

Matclan was referring to the number of needles required to cause a super detonation, not if it would remove the Brute's shields, but yeah, I think it requires more in ODST. After playing Halo 3 enough you learn to fire the Needler for a certain amount of time for it to happen, but I recall multiple times playing ODST where I would stop firing at the same point I normally would in Halo 3 only for nothing to happen.

And yeah, enemies don't always spawn with the same weapons in ODST, in regards to Brutes at least. I can think of multiple parts in Coastal Highway where enemies would have different weapons. (One Brute would have a Needler in one playthrough in the beginning, and the next time there may be no Needlers)

Well, got Tayari Plaza done on my third try. Just noticed though that I did not have scoring on. Does it still count or do I have to do it again. If it does count, that is 1 level down (I doubt that it will though). And when are you going to post the people who have completed it already Tyrant?

Edit: Make that 2 (possibly) Just did Uplift Reserve on my first try.

I would like to applaud Vince for an amazing job. You are teh king. =)
Now, I need help. Today, I got to the end of Oni Alpha SIte two times, and each time the hammer chieftain killed me. How should I deal with him? Rockets, pistol, assasination?
I just need him down then only 4 more to go.

Damn, I was beaten to the punch, considering I've got 7 of the 8 ODST missions done on Mythic now.

But anyway, congrats Vince on the job well done. I'll settle for 2nd this time (cause I'll watch your vid and get Highway done first try lol) but when Reach comes around, I'll make sure to reach that 1st place position ;)

To be honest, my plan the whole time was to trade the Laser off to Mickey with one shot left. Then, I was going to take it back and use that last shot on the Chieftain.

It didn't work so well, so...keep your eyes open, and listen carefully. Usually he lets out a battlecry before he charges or attacks.

Go with assassination.

That must have been intense. Over 21 hours of Firefight?! Damn insane! I wish I was there, just watching him/her.

Whoever it was should get recognition from Bungie. He/she should be on Bungie's home page.

Speaking of super detonations it takes an entire clip to kill a shield jackel. I might be able to get kizingo Blvd out off the way today.

Pahat finished too?
Would have been nice of him to let us know he was even trying it inbetween setting high scores in Firefight...
Can't say I didn't expect it though. I'll probably watch his films to see if he did anything crazy.

Just noticed. Everyone else seems to be taking roughly 30 minutes on Tayari Plaza on Mythic. Took me under 10, I even beat Pahat's time by a lot.
