8 Missions, 3 films in fileshare.... are we dropping the requirement to have films for each one or something?

I dont believe that was ever a requirement. Just for SMRC.

I don't normally do too well on Alpha Site when playing Solo, actually.


It's not too bad, but I haven't found a good way to kill Armor Chieftains on it, as they can enter the spawn area from the doorways on the far side, making ambushing them from a corner very difficult. Chasm Ten and Last Exit are some of the harder ones IMO. Chasm Ten has a neverending supply of hiding Engineers, Last Exit is the Drone capital of Firefight missions.

Argh! I just finished Coastal Highway, yet no sooner did I assassinate the last Chieftain and tell myself it was a job well done that Dare says, "No! The Engineer! It's dead!" and I get sent right back to the start. I could even see the friendly Phantom approaching.
I feel so cheated. :-(

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

I just finished Coastal Highway on solo Legendary with 8 skulls on, thus completing my first run through campaign. I'm not gonna lie. I love this game. Worth every penny and more.

But that level sucks! :-(

Agreed. It makes The Ark look easy.
We need to get you into Firefight next. Me and Vince have been playing a few times and we both reckon it's definitely your kind of thing.

  • 10.07.2009 6:38 AM PDT

I personally enjoy Firefight a lot more than Campaign. Playing with 3 other people would be a blast, I'm sure.

I see Pahat has put up a 2.6M score on Crater, very nice. I can't help but wonder how far I would've gone in that 2.2M game if I didn't need to sleep.

Anyway, I'll be going for the record, or at least 5M this Saturday and possibly Sunday.

Awesome, Friday/Saturday night maybe?
Anyway I've just had my vengeance against Coastal Highway with what looks to be the best time for a Coastal Mythic run so far (only 39 minutes). Put me on that list would ya?

Friday sounds good. Since I'm, leaving early to go out of town on Saturday, you and I will be in a similar boat in terms of time (plus I have the day off so I'll be able to get on Live earlier).

Gratz on accomplishing yet another major Halo feat. After my experience last night, I can safely say that beating [Coastal Highway[/i] on Mythic is by itself quite an accomplishment :-)

Just wondering, but what's with all the change arounds in the Mythic group? Were threads dying too easily so you pinned them or something?

  • 10.07.2009 9:19 AM PDT

Congrats to everybody whos completed mythic ODST already. I think I'm about ready to give it a go.

Don't suppose anyone could place them in order of difficulty? Or atleast give it a try. Much appreciated.

Dammit, my angry admin post is in one of them. "Don't you guys ever read something called the rules?"

Haha.

But yeah, I'd like an explanation on that too.

I'm wondering when I should try Mythic. I've only been doing Firefight when I had the time, school is killing me.

Easiest: Uplift Reserve
- Kikowani Station
-- NMPD HQ
--- Tayari Plaza
---- Data Hive
----- Kizingo Boulevard
------ ONI Alpha Site
Hardest: Coastal Highway

Anyway, that's how I'd call them. Not sure if anyone else agrees. :-P




Gazas, just try Mythic whenever you feel like it. My longest mission (Data hive) only took 77 minutes and that was because I was dithering and going rediculously slowly at certain points.
The others shouldn't take longer than an hour max.

Tayari Plaza is easier than NMPD HQ though isn't it? It's short, you can skip most fights....

NMPD HQ is a little long and...you can die more often :P

NMPD HQ has plenty of ammo and Buck to hide behind whereas Tayari Plaza has no invincible AI and not much as far as ammo is concerned. The last fight can really suck if you use up too many bullets for the Automag or Carbine in earlier sections like the Jackal courtyard.

Mythic is generally played Solo. Having a partner kind of defeats the point of it and you would regret the choice in Coastal Highway, Buck may not be the best gunner around, but at least he can't die and make you restart the mission.

Legendary was hard enough! But mythic!?

Being totally honest here, I completed all of the missions easily except for Coastal Highway which is when the game strikes back. Give it a go and maybe you'll surprise yourself.

I'm inclined to disagreed. ONI Alpha Site wasn't that bad. I only had to make it inside twice or so. Kizingo is more deserving of second most difficult. As for Tayari Plaza vs. NMPD HQ, I'm not completely sure. I think NMPD HQ could have been more difficult for me if it wasn't for the fact I'm so keen to using the Sniper Rifle whenever I can on Mythic. Can you imagine that one area with five Jackal Snipers with Beam Rifles on Halo 3 Mythic? That would be a deathtrap.

Overall, though, I'd leave NMPD HQ lower than Tayari Plaza for sure.

My version:

Uplift Reserve
Kikowani Station
NMPD HQ
Tayari Plaza
ONI Alpha Site
Data Hive
Kizingo Boulevard
Coastal Highway

I recall from playing with Tyrant that Buck is still AI controlled. I suppose having one person in the passenger seat would still be...dangerous.

I was actually going to put Kizingo down as most difficult barring Coastal, but then I remembered just how hectic the initial section of ONI Alpha Site is. There's so many opportunities to die that it really boils down to a matter of preference. As for Data Hive... Meh. Just play it slow and you can't go wrong.

Well yes, but it opens when there are enemies left too. You can run like hell just as good with them shooting at you.
