Doust thou wish to anger thine ROFLKNIEF?!?

What? My run times? All them except Tayari and Uplift are crap. I can easily cut Kikowani time by 30 minutes and NMPD HQ by 5+.

You can also cut Tayari by 15+...newb.

If I don't complete CH next week, I'm gonna cut you in half for completing it. =)

Maybe. That may depend on how much backtracking I do (which was alot in my run) and wether or not theres a carbine brute before the sniper tower.

More so than maybe. You can skip a huge part.

I got about 15 minutes in that mission. Dealt with about 3 Jackals only. Any Brutes in the last area? Heck no, I skipped them.

I didnt even know there were areas to skip besides when the hunters show up.

Two questions about mythic: do I always have to quit out of the level to restart (even if it sends me back to the very beginning), and how does completing Mombassa Streets work?

It's not like there's a shortcut, more like "screw you guys, you want me dead, you're gonna have to catch me first."

You can let iron restart you if you wish, it just makes the film longer.
As for the Streets, we aren't officially including them yet (as far as I know) as the only way to play them as "missions" is to complete the previous mission on Mythic then advance to the new beacon without quitting. They're more of a "I'm bored so I'll do this anyway" thing because quite frankly you can skip just about everything except the fight before Data Hive.

On a few practice runs, I was able to reach the tank as well. Like I said, if the Oliphant was invincible just like every other friendly AI ODST in the game, the mission would be fine, but having to protect Dare reminds me of that time we were trying to play Quad-Mythic on The Covenant and our fourth non-Mythic player kept trying to hijack on of the Banshees at the beginning one the mission...


Oh the memories.

"I can hijack it!"

XD

Anyway, is anyone aware of the fact that I have also ALL night segments, including the one between Kikowani and Data Hive under my belt? Wished for being the first one completing it but of course Coastal Highway stops me while people who have all missions completed on Mythic are doing the night missions. lol.


Sorry to ruin your spirits, but I finished up all night segments around the time of our last Firefight game. My Bungie Pro expired and I haven't been arsed to upgrade yet.

I've been playing Fable II lately (why? I couldn't sleep and I figured, you know what? I feel like playing Fable II). I thought I had all achievements for ODST and then I remembered I don't have the Rally Point achievement. Lol.

Anyway, it's Thursday. I know last Saturday nobody except Playdoh showed up. Are we doing some Firefight tomorrow?

Depends. I'm feeling under the weather again but hopefully I'll get myself pulled round for the weekend. If so I'm in. Speaking of which, MoleN, Trigg and myself have thrashed out a pretty sound strategy for Lost Platoon this evening. We just need to try it again with 4 players to see if we can fill the holes in our defenses and we'll be set.

If you guys want a game I'll be on at like 3 ESt tommorrow probably. I am most likely playing in my own game that night but I have no doubt if we did play at that time we could finish before night ever arrived. =)
Also, I think that wouldnt be too late for Matclan, but people find it hard to get on that early sometimes.So basically we'll see if we can get a game together. If not, no worries. Though I'd love to play with you guys one day soon.
Also, if we play friday I'd be up for a game sat. with you guys, and if we dont play friday (me and friends) then I'd be up for it friday. Just inv me and I'll see if Im free.

I know that. My life is ruined now.

And to be fair I started the Campaign a long time after you were done. So if I only wasn't such a lazy-ass before.

Hi

Congrats CBTrigg for making #7 on the list!

I was planning on doing Coastal, but I'll be available for Firefight tomorrow staring around 1 EST if anyone needs an extra. I'd have to quit around 9 or 10 EST though.

If we start at 3 EST going for 7M we'd be done by 7 probably. Maybe 8.

If you include me then, I guarantee that I won't quit until we reach our goal. I'm not letting that happen again.

As for Coastal Highway, it would have been a superb mission had the Oliphant (what the hell is an oliphant?!) been invincible just like the rest of the AI. Instead of being able to enjoy all the hard work they put into the surroundings of the mission, I'm stuck cursing at the damned girl and her alien pet for trying to plow through a blockade of Covenant vessels.
[...]
It's amazing how one simple thing not only changed, but also completely ruined the dynamics of the mission.

Absolutely agree. I don't mind escort missions when they just act as a rally point and pace setter, but when they can get killed, and don't show any sign of caring for their own safety... its one of the most annoying things in gaming.

Posted by: MATCLAN
Also, before I forget, Mombasa Streets (B) is down on Mythic. Shamefully I only killed 5 enemies and gave the rest the slip.

5? I only killed one.

I've just completed Tayari Plaza and uplift reserve on Legendary. I'm determined to beat it before Tyrant gets his guide out. The "Mythic Conqueror" title isn't good enough for me, I want "PRE-GUIDE Mythic Conqueror".

In ODST, I think your second biggest threat (the first being grunts), are shielded jackals. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to kill them without using a lot of ammo after bungie fixed the plasma pistol glitch.

Only on Legendary? You better hurry up then because the learning curve between Legendary and Mythic is pretty big.

BTW, best ways to take out shielded jackles are brute shot, smg/AR, and noob combo. Needler is also effective when you run out of ammo for everything else.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

Before watching the vid for uplift reserve I could probably predict how you did it.

MoleN 3EST would be great. That would set me up for 8pm GMT meaning I could easily go until maybe 3am if we needed too.

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

Meh...

I tried the Brute Shot Method, but no dice. Best to get them while they're running. Or use the classic Plasma-Punch technique. That seems to work wonders on shielded Jackals.

I think the Brute Shot's pretty good against Jackals so long as you've got at least a clip. Otherwise I prefer the needler or headshots.

and Mombasa Streets (C) and (D) are down, but unfortunately I've screwed up by forgetting to click continue solo game meaning my Tayari Plaza beacon has reset so I won't be able to do the Kikowani -> Data Hive section... I've gotta start over in other words. :-(

I just wrote a wall whining about Coastal Highway but you guys would probably come with something cocky post telling me to stop -blam!-ing about it so I deleted it all.

Just....never mind, this mission doesn't deserve any words.

EDIT: I'll say one thing though.

Go on, you might as well settle down for the whine, we include free cheese now. :-D
But from the random gibbering I guess you died at the end? Maybe to the Scarab or something stupid like that?
