Ah, I got in the tank, got to the bit with loads of infantry. Wasn't prepared for the bombardment I got in that area. Next time I'll do it.


The part just before the Scarab? With the Fuel Rod wielding CHieftain and his pack at the end?
Saw your shout in the Halosphere shoutbox on HC BTW. Seems like you're getting on pretty well.


Yeah thats the bit.

Hmm... Vince said this part was tricky yet I never died there (unless you count the one time a berserk Brute jacked my tank and as I got to the next area he kept getting off and then getting back on before I could get out and kill him :-( ), I just sort of nuked the Grunts at the beginning, letting Dare get in front for a bit to draw some fire before steaming through and hitting the Chieftain and any immediate threats with everything I had. "Tank beats everything!" still applies.

Apperently the gaming gods do not want my Coastal run to be easy because 2 out of my last 5 tries, my warthog got blown off the map.

Haha wow. Looking through the Halocharts leaderboards.
I'm #1 in:
Most Campaign Carbine Points
Most Campaign Pistol Points
Most Campaign Banshee Points.
All from failing Mythic over and over. Impressive.

Ouch. It was the place where I'd say the majority of my deaths happened. One time I tried to simply make a run for the tank which worked great... until the doors opened while enemies were still alive and Dare decided to move on thus leaving us flanked.

PS: If Buck ever gets out of the Warthog just hop back in and he should start making his way toward you. You don't need to be in long, just enough to attract his attention.
I was behind the Warthog with 50 Ghosts firing on its other side, even if the drive seat would be on my side I would take the shots that they fire on the Warthog. Plus I could hear the beep..beep..beep so it kept me from exposing myself to hostiles.

Im on the part after you get the Gauss and theres a lot of banshees and ghost. It doesnt seem to matter if I gun ahead or sit back, Dare always seems to die even with me helping Buck killing everything. Any advice?

Gun to the middle, get out, let Buck clean house, get back on when dare passes by, gun again to the end, pull attention, make sure buck kills EVERYTHING. This will make the next area a lot easier.

I'll see what happens then. Ive done that before except for getting back in as Dare goes by. Usually I stay back a bit and kill some of the stuff with Buck in the second Gauss.

I am officially mad at everyone who has completed this mission. I mean really, all you need is luck. Only skill would be aiming with Blind.

I get to the Tank part, I get fired on so much that my Gauss flips. I get on it again, Buck won't get on the back. So I wait there for 50 hours and when the Ghosts are dead, the Gauss had been blown away for 50 yards. I make a run for the Tank to kill them, they all die. I go attack the AA Wraith now, thinking that nothing can stop me in the Tank...but of course, one Banshee hid from me in the previous area so when I deal with the Wraith, the Banshee arrives. So I get between a rock and a hard place, I choose the hard place, the rock blew me to pieces. Buck this mission. No no...buck Buck. I hate him so much now, every time I play as him in Campaign, I'm gonna kill myself so many times to let him know how I feel.

That run was also my last one for tonight so I most likely won't be playing any more until the vacation starts.

It's been about 30 minutes since I played now and man was I pissed. I am calm now so I didn't mean any of the mean things. =)

Good night, hopefully I'll dream myself a good tactic of completing it easily.

Coastal can burn in hell. It is just too luck based of a level when it comes to Mythic. I know luck plays a decent amount in Mythic on the other levels, but Coastal Highway seems about 5% skill and 95% luck.

No, don't jump on the Gazas train of thought. :-(
Seriously, the only luck parts tend to be whether Brute Captains spawn with Carbines (=]) or Brute Shots (=[). Other than that it's more to do with mentally cutting the mission into segments and strategically having each battle won before you begin it tactically. If you know what to do and do it right it's not too bad to quickly make adjustments on the fly should a Ghost become too aggressive or Buck goes AWOL. I definitely know what I'm talking about as I've done the blasted thing twice in a row due to Vergil deciding to pop right at the end.

EDIT: Hey, MoleN, do you still want me to be your 4th in Firefight? I don't mind if you've got someone else in mind as I;m hoping to pull some guys together next week when I'm free from college but I don't mind helping either as it's all good fun.

It just feels like even if I know where everything is and plan everything out, stupid crap happens. Like Buck will jump out the hog because a grenade was thrown a mile back, or brute that gets splatters throws a grenade as I splatter him so I get stuck and die.

That reminds me of my Dual-Mythic run through the Storm. It took like 2 weeks and it really isn't that bad a level, we just got unlucky I guess.

I gather that no one has claimed #7 yet? Good luck to all attempting Coastal.

Yeah, it looks like we've got a 3 way race between Gazas, Dark and Trigg on our hands at the moment. I wonder who'll be 7th?

I really dont know. Trigg seems dedicated as hell, so maybe him. And about firefight, we have 4 people atm. Theres a chance one may not show, but it is likely they all will. We need a platoon strategy, so if you ever get online when I am on maybe you could help me out a little bit. =P

Sure, I'll help out if you want. Could do with thrashing out a good method for LP myself. The last thing I want is for it to end with the formation broken and the Covenant spawn camping us... I once had a Chopper, 2 Hunters and a Chieftain all in the spawn room at once. Not fun.

Also I've started to clean the mean streets. Mombasa Streets (A) is complete on Mythic. (Yeah it means I'll be doing up to Data Hive again but I enjoy it so what the heck.) It's very enjoyable to actually spawn with useless weapons and have to outwit the enemies or get torn apart. The first Brute has been my favourite so far to give the slip.

Also; if anyone wants the films of the streets as proff I made it to a beacon and didn't quit I'll either put them on my file share a few at a time or I'll make a silver account just to host them. Or you can just trust me. :-P

I have a game already set for this weekend but if it fails we should have another conquerors game, this time with more MoleN. =)
Hell, even this weekend if my game doesnt work out.

I am dedicated as hell, but Im also frustrated as hell. Im done for the night but will start back up tomorrow after I get out of college. Hopefully my luck turns around and I can get past the first Gauss section. What frustrates me is I know I can get past it on Mythic because I restarted the level at that point and beat it first try.
