Sounds good.

Btw, my link goes to Pope Rex's Service Record. =)

Yeah Crater is annoying with the Health Packs but it's also my best map, I picked up 2 Health packs on accident the first wave and didn't die once that round.

Crater on Co-Op will be weird though. I'm up for any map. We also need a tactic, can't let one ignore our position and go around dying.

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.

I'm available all day Saturday and I don't supose that pulling a 2am shift would be all that bad - I did it often enough playing Tri-Mythic with Tyrant and Vincent (record was 3am I think) and have since taken to playing Firefight with Vincent until similar times on Friday/Saturday nights.
Just pencil me in wherever you can fit me.

EDIT: Maps I'd prefer to play are Lost Platoon (I only get a chance to play it on co-op), Alpha Site or Security Zone.
I'm not too fond of Crater sue to the Health Packs been situated too close tot he best source of cover; they always get used too quickly while Black Eye is on.

Okay guys, right now who is in?
Is it Matclan, Dark, Gazas and Vincent?
If so, I have a bucn of other people who want to play so if there is no room for me thats okay. If there is, I'll play but if not no problem.

Crater is scratched, don't worry. Dark can't make it on Saturday. He can on Friday though. I can on both days.

Anyway, I'm on ONI Alpha Site now. I've done all night segments. Died 4 on one but when I got tired and rushed instead, I made it. It showed 0 deaths anyway for some reason.

Here's a problem, when I have completed all flashbacks and night segments, I won't be able to make my way to Data Hive. Since I died on some Flashbacks, I quit and restarted which erased my save so when I completed it, Tayari Plaza and all flashbacks before showed up again. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do about the night segment between Kikowani and Data Hive?

Okay, if we play firday I can probably play, but my time may be too late for you guys. Also, about data hive, either you could A: Start a new game and run from the pod to the data hive place (I know it wouldnt be open but still) or just not do it. It seems like too much of a nuisance to me.

I was actually thinking about that problem today and my solution isn't a good one. Redo it all over or don't include Mombasa Streets (or at least that one section).

Edit: Darn you MoleN!

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

YAH TYRANT!
I knew you were going to have this coming.
Mythic for H3 and now for ODST. I for some reason never thought of doing this... but now I WILL! thanks. lol.

Nice thread btw.

Well, I found a solution. I'm currently at Kikowani Station. I'll simply start a new game with all Skulls on and use the save and quit method when I die. Then when I have completed all flashbacks from the beginning(by cheating), not counting Kikowani, I'll lastly do Kikowani station. On Mythic this time of course. If I die, I won't quit so the save will screw up. Then when it's done, Data Hive door will trigger so I'll do that part, then Data Hive, then Coastal Highway.

Sounds good eh? Tell me it's worth to just spend a couple of hours on that so I'll be the first one to have completed Halo 3: ODST on Mythic including Mombasa Streets.

I also have everything on film but I'll probably just upload the night segments and post the flashback mission here as stats. Since the Flashback missiond don't need film for proof...right?

I don't know if that will work. Well, sort of. I think I understand what you're going for and it looks like it will work. Of course then you still need to all the trips in between as well as the individual missions correctly (scoring on, films).

Edit: I did some testing (with Blind off) about the Save & Quit stuff. In Halo 3, if you did a Save & Quit, scoring turned off and had to be turned back on (and thus erasing your progress).

In ODST, however...scoring stays on even if you Save & Quit...but it resets your score to 0 as well as your time. I don't know if the game stats will point anything in particular out, but this is particular proof that films should still be required.

Edit 2: Looks like Gazas' idea works for getting segments of Mombasa Streets, so long as you don't die during them...

On the topic of the game, I've noticed that the Sniper Rifle is a lot more effective against Chieftains in ODST than it was in Halo 3 while playing on Mythic. In Halo 3, it takes a full clip to kill a Chieftain (3 to remove their helmet, 1 for the headshot). In ODST, it takes two shots (one for the helmet, one for the headshot). Just something to keep in mind on NMPD HQ.

Nice, didn't know it. And yeah, I realized this save and quit thing. Which is why, I'm gonna buy Bungie Pro and upload all of my films, even the night segments to my Fileshare.

Cheating has become much easier from the looks of it. If you save and quit in the middle of a mission, the stats will show up.

Anyway, he are the missions that I have left on Mythic:
Kikowani Station
Mombasa Streets from Kikowani to Data Hive (I can expect a lot of deaths here).
Data Hive
Coastal Highway.

Fix'd.
And I'll play tonight if you guys want. Just tell me when you want to start so I can kick my brother off the Xbox for then.

Alright guys, here's the thing.

About the poo flood....wasn't a poo flood.

What happened was, people set fire in all the WCs in order to burn down the building (and kill the people in it, including me). Before it spread, the fire sprinklers went off and the fire drowned out. However, the sprinklers kept going at a rate of 100 liters per minute (per sprinkle). The water had been in them for a while so it was all brown and black, and smelled like...poo.

Anyway, the fire department received the silent alarm and got to the school when I was on my way home and got the message today that either some people were doing a practical joke or wanted to ruin the lives of many. And jeopardize the lives of many. Imagine if the sprinkles hadn't killed the fire off. The fire was on the same floor as me, right next to my room where I was working actually.

BUT, enough of that, on topic, I can play today too.

If I manage to do this Campaign thing, I'll be the first one who's done it right?

Wow Gazas. Glad to see you're still with us man.
And I'm up for tonight, I think we'll be able to score quite highly.
As for the Mythic including Mombasa Streets, yeah you'd be the first to do that. I think I'll have a go at the streets sometime though.

EDIT: Alpha Site tonight please. This is why.

So how is one supposed to do Mythic on ODST? You can only die when you are in the streets or what?

  • 10.16.2009 11:33 AM PDT

Alpha site is a good map, I just didn't choose it for two reasons:

1 - It's harder to keep control than on Security Zone, since enemies can attack you from two different ways instead of one.

2 - Since the doorways to the spawn rooms are so large, that gives Weapon Chieftains more room to attack you, making killing them much more difficult.

Sorry guys, I thought we were doing it tommorow so I commited myself to something else tonight (still on ODST, but I have plans). Sorry. =(

No problem, tonight'll probably just be trial run anyway.
But even if it isn't and we do pull some highscore off I'll still play tomorrow if you want.

As for now it looks like me and Gazas tonight. When do you want to start Gazas?

  • 10.16.2009 1:37 PM PDT

I'll probably be back around 5:30. (slightly over an hour and a half)

  • 10.16.2009 1:44 PM PDT

If I get some answers in the near future, I'm gonna attempt a Solo Legendary run again, and score at least 15M!

That's the spirit, Starocean. :-)
Have you PMed Achronos or RunningTurtle about the Firefight issues? Obviously they haven't been responding to forum complaints, but maybe a politely worded message qould be mor elikely to garner a response.

  • 10.16.2009 1:49 PM PDT

I've sent out two PMs to Bungie employees, but I'm waiting for the weekly update first. If they don't address it, I'll send more PMs.

Additionally, this one guy scored 11M+ solo, normal on Lost Platoon. I sent him a PM asking if he waited in the lobby and how long it took to upload.

That's an idea actually. If either tonight or tomorrow we do manage to score highly I think it might be best to advise everyone to not do anything else until they're sure that the stats either will/won't load.

I knew it. Always someone swoopin' in eating the cake right at the moment you're alone with it >:)

Btw, I can't believe the issue of weapons disappearing is still in ODST. Not only is it weapons, it's people too. I had to do ONI Alpha Site WITHOUT Mickey. I failed though. I DID NMPD HQ WITHOUT Buck. And on Kikowani Station, the Phantom just disappeared and I was stuck under the Scarab on foot. However I got there...
