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

Looks like you and Matclan might have a race to see who finishes first, but who knows.

And to Vince's post on the prior page, I merely watched your vid and adapted for Coastal Highway. I am a bit more splatter happy though when it comes to killing the covenant :) That and trying to down those 4 phantoms is harder than it seems. I only managed to destroy one, and I still had to contend with the 2 that fell off and the 6 in the next area, but it's actually surprisingly easy just so long as you have the ghosts attention; just like all other ghost parts on the highway.

Looking at Coastal Highway, although it's an escort mission, the main thing is to just draw the covenant's fire to yourself that way they'll focus on you and not Dare.

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.

Unfortunately putting myself at risk isn't something I enjoy on Mythic. Added to the fact that with Brute drivers it takes 3-4 shots from a tank to kill a Ghost the thought of being attacked by multiple Ghosts isn't appealing to me.

Shouldn't be appealing to anyone else either. =)

I also don't like rushing with the tank to a squad of Grunts, man they will own you up. Those Grenades are actually deadly now when you're in the tank.

Kikowani Sation down first try.
Two more to go. Maybe I can be 4th?

EDIT: the user posting the dodgy link seems to have been banned, I wasn't referring to any of Legendary Smile's links.

Wow, Coastal Highway is hard. Any tips for the stretch where I have a gauss warthog? I cant get past it. Even if I kill the ghosts, the oliphaunt still dies.

Data Hive down, also first try. Amazingly the gold Drone leader decide to run at me via the catwalks instead flying. Easiest Plasma Pistol shot ever used on a Drone followed by a volley of Carbine shots told him to stay down.

Strangely this is the second mission in a row that I've had a glitch threaten to mess me up; in Kikowani Sation my Phanotm refused to move leaving me to fight the Scarab without any support, now in Data Hive Vergil deided not to follow us into the tunnels which thankfully does not stop him from opening doors.
My only remining mission is Coastal Highway and somehow I think that the game's been giving me dummy rounds so far and it's going to become a lot more like the Mythic I'm used to.

Hopefully your luck is better than mine. Coastal is unlike any mission I have ever played. Even if I escape the thousand of stickies, Dare still gets cut down. And just before you get off the highway... how does any mortal slay the mighty chieftain?

  • 10.03.2009 2:34 PM PDT

Wow. Ive done 4 missions on Mythic and today and I cant pick up a controller. :P Ive done Tayari Plaza first try. Uplift Reserve on my second try and NMPD HQ and Kikowani Station both on my first attempt. I nearly did Kizingo Boulavard aswell. :D

Ugh. Coastal Highway is a pain in the ass. I keep getting the different sections muddled up so I think I may need to write down a "plan of action" which I can refer to at each gateway.
Despite being annoying, I still think it's fun though, and once I get off the road it'll just be a case of handing Rockets to Buck and Dare whilst chipping in occasionally.

I know. I know the map like the back of my hand, but randomness (grenades) and enemy AI is killing me. I have only gotten to the Gauss twice, and of those times only once did I get any where near the tank. I think if I can get the tank, I can win. Oh well, I'll resume my progress monday.

I've made it to the Gauss twice too. Unfortunately both times I didn't have a Plasma Pistol and consequently got overwhelmed by Ghosts and Banshees.

Also what's with the random spawns on the section just before the Drones? Dealing with the bugs can either be easy or notihng short of frustrating depending on which towers the Grunts spawn in.

I'll try again later today after getting some sleep as it's after midnight here in England. Hopefully I'll crack it tomorrow.

And Matclan, I cant be on tommorow so looks liek you have one day to claim that fourth position. It wont be easy though, as after four hours I have yet to get to the scorpion. Almso got there last round, but dare ran off and I had to try to save her. I failed...

The only tower that matters is if the second trio spawns in the tower nearest the door or the second nearest.

If its the former, I park on top of the off-ramp and fire a Rocket to take out the tower before driving over there. If its the former, I just ignore it.

Stay way back and kill the runners who try to flank you. Dutch will deal with the rest.

At least it works for me, but you can see what the others did.

Find a safe place to hop out of the Warthog, somewhere that keeps you by the Olifant, so that Buck can finish everything off with the turret.

The section with the Ghosts just before you get the Gauss Hog can be taken slowly, just as long as you make sure you have the attention of all the Ghosts away from the Olifant.

The next section you have to make your moves quick and bring the Gauss Hog to a good position to defend the Olifant from everything.

The Grunts are the only reason I stopped with my initial ideas of being so quick to run things over in the first area.
