There's no way I can last that long unless I take breaks. How do I turn off the "6 hour inactive shutdown" function?

I want that badass trophy too. Maybe we should set aside a weekend sometime where we play for as long as we can without dropping asleep?

I think with 4 conquerors we could likely get it in 5-6 hours (7M). I know how to dominate alpha site and can easily go to 7 M with 3 conquerors. If we use bonus rounds well, 6 hours could be enough. Maybe next friday?


You're on. What time zone are you in? Tell me when you'll be on and I'll work out the rest so that we can get the most time possible.

EDIT: Starocean, I really hope your game uploads. You deserve it.

I'm one hour later than MATCLAN, let me know when you find a time so I can decide.

  • 10.11.2009 6:30 PM PDT

I've uploaded the game to my Fileshare. Slot 18, "Death Blossom". The film length is a little under 20 hours and it's 99.9 MB. It probably stopped recording since I guess 99.9 MB is the limit.

Guess I'll wait until tomorrow for the upload. I better not get screwed, or I'm done with Firefight.

damn, how did you find enough time to play a game that long? i would get tired after about 10 hours.

I took breaks after a couple of hours. I could have played forever if I really wanted, I had about 38 lives when I finally called it quits. The Covenant just can't beat me on that map.

So... how many sets is that? You are the king of Firefight. I could never play solo Firefight that much, even with breaks.

Speaking of Firefight, I'm up for the crazy long flaming Mythic skull Firefight thing next weekend. It shouldn't take more than 8 hours to reach 10M with 4 people.

You could check my fileshare, I uploaded the film. It caps out at around 20 hours though, since it reached the 99.9 MB maximum there.

Anyway, I don't have the game stats, but from memory, I can tell you I quit at Set 28, Round 1, Wave 1, had 12002632 points, 95 deaths and my tool of destruction was the Auto-Mag, with about 6500 kills, about 50-60 Untouchables (can't remember Invincibles). As a matter of fact, my score was so large, the numbers in the Point column overlapped with the numbers in the Deaths column.

If you look at my Service record on the game itself, you can see my Solo Firefight score at 12002632.

I can imagine Firefight being hell of a boring thing after that match.

Now it seems you can dominate Firefight even on Solo Legendary pretty easily if you know the right strategy. They should have made Firefight getting harder after every round even when all skulls are activated so that you will eventually die no matter what.

I don't know if it was me but the first round All Skulls got turned On, the Drone Leaders would die from getting stuck but several minutes further in, they survived the sticks with working shields, just like the Brutes.

It's not really noticeable though so I agree, making it that much harder every round or set will make the game much more fast paced. When it comes to a point where you can never lose because it doesn't get more difficult, it gets really, really boring. Funny thing, I imagined us Conquerors would get bored of surviving for too long in Firefight before the release, turns out I was right. To get a good score, you don't need skill, you need time. Same applies to the non-conquerors.

That's one of the things I hate about Firefight. I don't have time.

In Halo 3 Mythic Campaign it took you max. 2 hours to complete a single mission.

Yeah, while that still applies to the ODST Campaign, Firefight is a different story for sure.

There's no way I can rack up 15 Million points without missing two tests at school or something similar. Maybe if I have a 2 week vacation.

Alright, well that puts you 5 hours behind me meaning that on Fridays I probably wouldn't be of much use due to having college earlier and not wanting to pull an all nighter.
Reckon we could set up a Saturday at a time that seems reasonable for all involved?

Nobody click the link in the post above. It's another scam site, he's posting it everywhere on B.net from the look of things.

33rd Mythic conqueror (Campaign Solo Legendary All Skulls On)

*reported*

Anyway, I played firefight for 10 hours and got to 3.4 mil. I had like 15 lives and could have kept going easily. The game lagged me out of my profile though and ended the game. My stats didn't upload. I may try again in the future.

Not another, more like the same pathetic attempt of catching phish in the dead sea.

EDIT: Wow Chris...should I consider myself lucky that my tiny 3 Million game actually uploaded??

People who get super scores either lag out, get their Xbox turned off or B.net just won't upload.

DAMN YOU BNET! DARN YOU WEBMASTERS!

So it seems gazas. I've just seen another user spam the exact same message into an awesome networking thread in the Halo 3 Forum.
Sucks about your disconnect Chris, but out of interest what map where you playing?

Saturday around 6am PDT (9am EST, 2pm GMT) seems like a time where most conquerors could get on and play for hours. I'm in the eastern time zone by the way.

As for the Firefight time problem, I wish they put in checkpoints or savestates of some sort so we could simply save and quit. We would have some truly monumental scores that way.
