Well the Engineer died when the Phantom arrived for me. That sucked.
Heck, if you want I'll talk you through my film if you tihnk it'll help. At least I've gtot he fastest time so we wouldn't be sitting there for an hour or so.

Fastest OVERALL time. Not the fastest highway time. I know atleast my highway time was faster than yours. The damn chieftain at the end though wouldnt run forward, so I was stuck hiding for 20 minutes.

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.

OK, I'm not disputing that, but a shorter film is usually less boring to watch in Theatre mode. I have no doubt that you could probably beat my time but you just can't be bothered to try it again.

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

***UPDATE****

FYI - This weekend I'm finally planning to begin the next phase in the ODST Mythic project and start actually doing the missions on full-blown Mythic Difficulty. Fortunately, I've had a fair amount of training so far since I started off the way I did, and I plan on doing Coastal Highway first for two reasons.

The first is because this seems to be the mission that we're having the most trouble with at the moment. Just like The Ark, there has to be a way to break it.

Second, at this point I literally hate this mission and just want to get it done and out of the way.

And congrats RC. I found NMPD HQ easy aswell. Only took 3 tries.
What was with all the Kikowani tries though? Speedrunning?


I suck... :)

Just out of interest, Tyrant, but would you like us to maybe list key points and areas we've found to be important/easy/hard during the course of ODST Mythic? If we kept it tidy, say in a thread or article in the Q4M group you'd have plenty of notes to draw from when writing the walkthrough (if you're still planning on that).

Yeah, we have a ton of strategies already for each level, so you could comibine it all and make your super guide Tyrant. =)

Exactly, just think too if we all used similar methods for certain areas. The more it correlates the better it's proven to be successful and not a fluke.

I think if we do a guide, we should all do it together, take tips from each other. Instead of Tyrant's guide, it's our guide.

Dammit, I need to go study chemistry.

And Tyrant...if you complete Coastal before me...I'm going to...


























...watch your film.

Crazy talk. I'd be glad to help wherever though. I could easily walk anybody through coastal now.

I agree Gazas. A combined effort would also get the job done faster, Tyrant could be project lead and the rest of us would be like the writers, spell checkers, editors and contributors.
As for the film thing, it made me laugh. I know you can do it though because it's more like a condensed version of The Ark; the only difference really is the frantic pace of CH.

Maybe a group just for the guide? I don't know, maybe I'm firing the gun before its loaded. =P

Here's the way I plan to do this...

Since I'm a published writer, I'll be authoring the thing, but of course I'll be giving credit where credit is due. Yes, I do think of this as "our guide", I'm just doing the write up, and of course along with finding my own methods, I'll be testing everyone elses.

Hi

I'll definitely contribute to the guide. Just say when.

So basically you are doing all the compiling and we supply what methods we have?

Wish me luck. Im going to start my run at Coastal. Good thing I got the controller bundle with ODST because I'll probably put my other controller through the wall by the time I complete it. :P

BTW, I wouldnt mind helping with a guide. Although I have a feeling that most of us (with the exception of Pojat) will have similar stategies and tips. The reason I exclude Pojat is because his would probably be geared towards speed runs over anything else.

@Molen:

There's not really any point making a new group when the current one has an activity of maybe 0.5% of it's total member count.
What we need is a cleanup, a place to put our ideas down and discuss different things. Sure, we have discussion here, but we don't have a way of keeping notes and ideas organised and in a place we can all already access. The Q4M group could do with a bit of an overhaul; it's long overdue now. Just check some of the stories on the front page, I quote from the 5/8/09 update:
"Starting next week, I will be implementing a new policy to the group. "Dead threads" authored by non-conquerors will be deleted from the forums. A seven day warning will be issued. The author will have approximately 30 days to pick up where they left off and start a new thread if they are interested. If they choose not to or are non-responsive, they will be kicked from the group. Again, a seven day warning will be issued before-hand to give the person a chance.

So lets get the ball rolling and revitalize things! :-)"


IMO this would reallt help get things back on track and give the group a greater purpose.

EDIT: Wow, while I was finding this info and typing everyone replied.

I agree. Solid idea. Also, I feel it is a good idea Tyrant still write the guide, but I'll find ways to contibute. =)

Yeah, I'm all for Tyrant writing it all out, especially if he plans voiceovers again. Between odd remarks, little bits of humour and good voice tutorials the original walkthrough was a pretty entertaining read as well as a good aid for tackling the hardest challenge Halo offers.

I'd love to contribute in some way though, in fact when doing Coastal I actually wrote a rough guide down to keep track of each section and how to handle it because I kept forgetting parts or mixing them up.

I still think jacking a wraith would be a good idea. It may start to fail after drones and blackeye turn on, but it can atleast give you guys big multi-kills early and save the laser for later.

@ Matclan, Coastal just seems to be, the more you play it, the mroe you learn.I started getting to the gauss everytime. It would be cool to contribute in some way, not sure if I did anything different from you guys though. =P
@ Trigg, I may test the wraith idea, I have a minor idea where it could work.
@Matclan again, I agree, Tyrants voice over just made the guide. Perfect mix of humor and srsnes. ;P

Where? The area where you enter the Lost Platoon area during campaign thats blocked off?

Hmm... Lost Platoon.

I'd say go like this:

1 guy Laser + Automag/Sniper Rifle. He kills Wraiths and calls out drop loacations and other info such as Hunters, Choppers, kind of Chieftain etc.

2 guys take the Warthog until Tilt activates. They should disable Choppers and stockpile them in the spawn rooms (to let respawning players get right back to the action) and near the intial 'hog spawn for ease of access later. When Tilt activates these guys simply need to ditch the Warthog and get into Choppers.

1 guy should be general support, doing a bit of everything and usually helping protect the laser guy from Drones or Brute Stalkers. I suppose he could also take a Wraith at some point if he was covered well enough by the Choppers.

Speaking of stealing a Wraith; does keeping it in use and intact prevent a new one being dropped in that location? If so I can see some good lockdowns coming up.
