Nah, that's a little too early. It is Friday after all and after my 4 hour killing spree earlier I'm not sure I want to start another game apart from our 4 player thing.

Got to the end of ONI Alpha site twice today. And fell of the map once inside before going up the lift.

Other news, I saw this guy in the same cinema as me today. He was in the same row as me.

Sure, can't talk that much though, only one awake.

EDIT: Can't at all now, but I thought all you guys would show up.

Sorry guys, but I'm not feeling well enough to play today. I was OK earlier but I feel worse now and I wouldn't be of much use.

Didn't see anyone on really consistently at the same time while being signed on here.

No black and white in the blue.

Has anyone done any Mythic ODST speed runs yet (other than Uplift, which is kind of a joke)? I've been putting off the missions after Kizingo Boulevard due to my attempts to speed through it. I came very, very close about an hour ago, but died right at the end 'cause I haven't made it there since my initial run on Legendary (overwhelmed by 2 Brutes and a few Grunts... pathetic). I've developed what seems like a good, quick strategy (I've tried a lot of things, and it's the only method that's gotten me to the end), but there's so much luck involved in getting to the last area (and there's no shortage of its necessity there either) that I'm wondering if someone else has successfully kamikazed Kizingo already.

Random aside: Pahat Pojat is in the "Adamack" montage on the B.net main page news blog. He was kills 3 and 5 in a Killtrocity. .....Congrats? Well, I know I've never been in an MLG montage clip.

Well, I've currently got the record for fastest Coastal Highway run on Mythic, but that was just a fluke as it's an escort mission. Otherwise I think Dark has Tayari Plaza in about 9 minutes.

As for Pahat, yes he is. He's also gets turned into an Extermination on Guardian Ball lol. I feel a bit sorry for him ending up on the receiving end of the pain 3 times in one montage.

Yeah, 9:50. Could be faster though, you can skip a fight I decided to fight.

The Jackal courtyard?

  • 10.10.2009 7:58 AM PDT

3 missions down, almost had tayari down until this happened. :(

My main issue with the mission seems to be the lack of pistol ammo, and the unreliability of carbine brute spawns.

Damn new hunters. :(

At the Jackal section try using a Mauler or Needler ont he ones with shields. It works surprisingly well. As for the Hunters, don't event ry to fight them, just run like hell as soon as you get the chance.

9 Hours of Firefight. Got so bored that I decided to quit at 3M.

Is that really a good score for that many hours?

At least I got some flames on my trophy.

And Staroceanzero is like a machine, he had 3.3M about one hour before I started and when I stopped, I saw that he's still on. I'd be braindead by now.

Bah, I got so frustrated with Kizingo that I quit and played some Gears of War for a while. I've been trying to find a way to quickly destroy the 2 Wraiths in the 2nd to last area (with the 4 Ghosts and the Gauss turret) and skip the rest of it, but as far as I can tell, killing the 2nd Wraith (the 1st can be taken out very quickly) before killing the nearby Ghosts, Brutes and most of the Grunts and Jackals is suicidal. Occasionally, 1 or 2 of the Ghosts (always the ones driven by Grunts) will ignore me for a while and focus on Dutch, but once I get close to the 2nd Wraith, they come back and have their way with me.

On a more positive note, I've found a way to get past the first area almost every time (sometimes completely unscathed), and I have another idea about how to approach the 2 Wraiths, but it involves some more precise Ghost splatters (it probly won't work). This mission would be a lot easier if the Rocket Launcher was as effective against Wraiths as it was in Halo 3. There's around 10 extra rockets in the 2nd to last area, but more than half of them weren't enough to take down even 1 of the Wraiths. They'd probly get the job done if I could hit 'em in the back, but as soon as I fire they turn around and take it in the front or side. Bungie sure wasn't lying when they mentioned enemy AI upgrades...

Awesome, but you shouldn't have quit. Just pause the game and let it go (probably works better if ODST is installed to your HDD to minimise overheating) so you can get some sleep and then continue. I'll bet that's what Starocean is doing.

My room is very small and that's where I sleep, I'd wake up dead. Also, my parents sometimes go in to open the drapes and stuff and if they would definitely feel the heat and turn off the Xbox. Thing is, when they turn off stuff in my room, they pull out the cable, lol.

I'll probably do something crazy like Starocean when break is coming, it's a couple of more weeks.

Ya, he's currently on 10.6 million which is better than the current Halocharts no.1. Says he's going for 12 million.

EDIT: You're 7th on HC BTW with Pahat right behind you in 8th.

EDIT 2: Me and Vincent set the record for 2 player Legendary on Windward last night. The score inmy service record is hihger than the one on HC but we're not on the board yet. Guess it'll take some time to update. :-(

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

My main issue with the mission seems to be the lack of pistol ammo..

You spawn with a full one, theres nearly a full one first floor up in second area, and theres a third in the second to last area with the hunters, on the left as you come in, next to the door into the building. Plenty.

Just did this mission last night, found that if you stayed on the side opposite to the hunter door, you can slowly and calmly kill all the enemies before spawning the hunters and just running past them. Easy once I got that hang of it.

5/13 :)

I would be further, but its been really crazy this week and I've had literally no time. Looking like I might have to single segment the first 6 missions at some point to get that pesky section between Kikiwani Station and Data Hive. Probably what I'm gonna do last.

Select "Collect Player Data" no your HC page and everything will update.

EDIT: You know what would SUCK? If Starocean's parent/bro/sis/cousin tripped on a cable and shut down his Xbox/Internet.

Been an hour now since collecting data and there's been no changes to the leadeboards. :-(
Otherwise I've got a question; obviously you're a Crater pro Gazas, but on Security Zone I'd like to know how guys like Starocean deal with War Chieftains. One of those monkeys spawn camped 4 lives off me today just because he has near perfect accuracy with a lethal weapon that tracks you.
I can't seem to get close enough to assassinate him and it takes too many Laser/Rocket shots to kill him before he kills me.
