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.


Which part of ONI Alpha Site? Going by my strategy it was...

You trigger the charges, run in to the tower, hit the switch. Go inside, laser the Hunters, laser two Brute Captains so the Marines can pick off the Grunts. Use last Laser charge for whatever.

Go grab a new Laser, kill off more Captains once they get out of the Phantoms. Grab final Laser. I recommend saving it in retrospect.

Wait to go inside, making sure to bring the Rockets. Trade them off to Mickey, once the Brutes start coming in, stay back in cover behind the glass panels and watch the mayhem.

Once the Covenant begin entering through the outside, grab a Plasma Pistol. Use your Laser when necessary.

I don't really need it from there, I guess you can use it for long range.

I thought the doors only opened to admit the Hunters and that's when you run like hell.
Well yes, but it opens when there are enemies left too. You can run like hell just as good with them shooting at you.


I did. In fact, I think I'd forgotten about a Jackal Sniper who took a few potshots at me as I ran. :-P

It'll have been the bit that resembles Security Zone. I didn't realise you ahd to specifically kill off Captains you see, this of course led to me getting overwhelmed a couple of times and even still, I dislike running past enemies in such open battlefields.
It was probably more in my head than actual difficulty, but whatever.

You don't. The Marines can handle the Grunts just fine, but it takes them a bit to kill Brutes. And really it's not so much running past the enemies. I just go around the outside to stay clear of their fire and head to the top of the hill as soon as possible.

I know, I did run around the side. It's just it feels weird to have a huge fight happening just a little to the left of me which I'm not participating in for a while. Weird since I always skip the substation fight on Sierra 117, but it's all in my head. I felt more obliged to fight in ODST than in Halo 3 I guess.

EDIT: On a side note does anyone have any ideas of making Mombasa Streets practical for Mythic? I'd love to give it a go, but if it isn't going to end there's not really any point...

No good way to do it I guess. Only way would be to start "Prepare to drop" with all skulls on.

I may well try that, although I'm not sure when it would end or even when it should end. O_o

So Friday anybody want to play some Legendary Firefight? I know you (matclan) were planning on having a game, any room for me?

And in regards to Mythic, no way data Hive is easier than Kizingo, the beginning of Data was just so in your face and close quarters that grunts got me everytime. And if the drones didnt kill me there was always a carbien brute willing to finish off my stamina. I'd say that NMPD HQ is easier than Tayari as well.

If there's room I'll invite you.

And Data Hive isn't that bad, just keep the SMG handy and remember where you drop it so you can collect it again for Drone sections.

After that, I'm gonna try getting my flaming skull on my service record.

Why not just get the flaming skull together? I want one too and Mole and I came up with a pretty good way of locking down Last Exit last night. Thing was we just needed another player or two to stop lift invasions. :-P
But yeah, if you're online and we don't fill up the party to quick you can bet you'll be joining our game.

OK. Also, I wonder how many points it takes to earn the final Firefight trophy? 7 million on Legendary? That would be Bungie's syle, although 10 mil is more rounded number.

I'm pretty confident it's 5 million.

Anyway, I'd like to play Firefight with you guys sometime, but this weekend I plan to go for the solo Legendary record, or at least close to it. Plus, I have some homework to do, so it'll have to wait.

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

How do you guys feel about Security Zone on Legendary?

I was JUST about to recommend you guys try it. Just stick to the spawns, don't move past the stairs except between rounds to laser Wraiths and you'll last forever.

What spawns? I just stay in the back :-P Seems to work for the most part. Never seen a laser though. Is there another ammo/health cache aside from the one in very very back of the level?

  • 10.08.2009 10:21 AM PDT

Every map has exactly 4 health packs. On Security Zone, there are two right next to the doors and another two on the walls in the structure next to the spawn area.

The left upper walkway has a laser, the right upper walkway has a sniper, Rockets are next to the spawns, in the little hallway behind the central health packs.

EDIT: The spawns are the two rooms at the back.

With 4 players I'd love it. It's a map I've been putting off on playing until I could gather a full team.
And BTW, the Laser and Sniper spawn on the chairs next to the turrets, Laser on the left, Sniper on the right. There's also another Sniper way behind the enemy drop zone...
